That's fair enough. If you lead with this I wouldn't have commented. I agree his recent videos have been more sensationalist, I just thought this one was pretty good, especially for the non-technical crowd.
I agree his videos are usually mediocre, but as a cyber security professional I actually think this one did a good job of simplifying and explaining computer security fundamentals at a level that most can understand.
You and I have a ton of extra context that the average person does not, so that Wikipedia article might suffice, but the video covers far more than that Wikipedia article.
They clearly did more research than just reading that article, and they went to the trouble of reproducing some of the steps in the attack to demonstrate the danger it posed. This isn't just a brainless regurgitation of the Wikipedia article as you're implying.
Yeah I think it went pretty well. Would like to have a job at some point in the future as I recently bought a house only to be made redundant 4 months later.
Chris is a pretty switched on and likeable guy. His take is absolutely right, but I think you also have to tackle the people buying multiple properties as investments. Property just can't be the safest and most profitable investment in Australia. Negative gearing has to go first, but I wouldn't mind seeing further steps after that to incentivise the property moguls to sell up (or at least slow their buying).
Yeah GrapheneOS is open source bro. Probably doesn't have full compatibility with your phone if I had to guess. That's really not a like-for-like comparison to iOS.
Really depends which spin of Android you have. I have a Nothing Phone 2 and the OS is arguably more polished than on my SO's iPhone 14, which frequently has bugs, lag, and crashes. You can't really generalise about Android when there are so many versions of it.
That being said I'll probably be looking into Linux phones in the next few years because I'm tired of corporations trying to control my devices.
AI can already "find" the solution. They're not listening to it because they're looking for a magic pill that solves it without needing to change anything. We're fucked.
Agreed it was bad timing but yeah other companies have been charging more for games for years, calling it a "complete edition" or whatever, and locking people out of content of they don't pay the full price. But eh it is what it is.
You are being willfully ignorant if you think Sony has got the same negativity Nintendo has been getting recently. I have seen comments calling Nintendo a cancer on the gaming industry, calling for them to go bankrupt, etc. You can't pretend Nintendo doesn't get an undue amount of heat when they misstep. My headcanon is that the discrepancy is mostly due to 13 year olds in their edgy phase but it's still real.
This is not an argument against fair use, but against abuses of the fair use system. Everyone should be for reforming the system in such a way that it is not abused in this way, but that does not mean that we cannot implement a similar system for AI abuses.
I would assume those would fall under fair use of some kind, but you're right that those fair use laws would need some scrutiny before implementing this. I'm still cautiously optimistic about it, but yeah if I was a lawmaker I'd be thinking hard about the potential misuses of it for sure.
Agreed 👍
