Because he wants the behavior to change, as it is a risk to the country's security. Typically these types of things at this level rarely result in prosecution; the compromise typically is a change in behavior / promise to do better / etc.
Gonna just put the obvious on the table: it is one thing to fuck with a Tesla dealership, it is quite another to seek out random owners to fuck with. If you are doing the latter, specifically going to someone's residence to fuck with their automobile, I sincerely hope you get shot in the head with a large caliber gun and your brains are splattered on the ground. That is what you deserve. Enough fucking around and coddling these FREAKS.
I've been personally involved in evaluating the security of a certain vendor starting with the letter H. Let us just say they are "less than honest". I had pcaps of their bullshit trying to reach out to random C2 shit on the internet, which garnered a response of "there must be a mistake, that is not our software".
Let China sell their telecom bullshit to all the poor people of the world - they will learn hard lessons.
That question doesn't make any sense. Windows isn't used to run core network infrastructure on that level. These devices should never ever call out to remote servers unless explicitly configured to do so, and even then that should be a select list of customer defined servers.
Obviously Windows will send more telemetry if telemetry it sent at all, because it's doing more stuff. Then again, Window's telemetry is nothing compared to what Huawei phones will send to the mothership, and Huawei phones are nothing compared to an Amazon Alexa. Not that any of that is relevant.
I'm not comparing it to an OS. I'm comparing it to other competitors in the particular solution space. To answer your question: no one else's equipment behaved in that manner.
> Another solution is to just live in ShenZhen when it's applicable. The city is nice and vibrant, and you are treated pretty well as long as you don't get into politics.
That's an extremely subtle way of saying "keep your mouth shut".
It's not. You can freely talk about other topics. In fact, talking politics is probably safe as long as you are not too loud. I think it is the same for all countries I have lived in. Talking about politics is always taboo.
Not around where I am, at least withing the various circles I talk to. It can be hard to avoid, even. (to be fair, I live in a city which is relatively an outlier on the political spectrum compared to the country as a whole)
Really is not that much data involved (not counting downloading the game itself). Streaming multi-player game data to/from an individual player can range from like 10kbps to 100kbps depending on the game and scale involved. Remember you are only sending the deltas (and occasional entire refreshes).
You have a weird dream of how people should use transportation. People like what they like. They like individual cars with 4 wheels. They don't want to share transportation with random people.
The train v car debate is for losers - cars won and will always win. Privacy and freedom will always be more important. Use trains to ship goods around, not people.
I appreciate your effort to provide a balanced retort. I'll be extremely blunt: all the bad things you've heard about Oracle are about 95% true. I've been in meetings where someone from compliance suggested all "uncertain" customers (accounting-wise) be subject to a rigorous audit... with the comment added "we can probably squeeze a few mil easily this quarter out of the base". Most of the company does not behave like a healthy business. The parts that do perform well are usually walled off from the ridiculous bullshit.
