“Kinda makes sense they’d branch out to other vendors as there’s problems across the endpoint security space with the quality of the security products in terms of…security unfortunately,” Beaumont told The Register. “Hopefully it causes cybersecurity vendors to up their game, stop hyping hypothetical AI attacks, and instead make their own products secure for customers.”

Vast majority is complicit but if you’re not all that keen on remote murder you don’t really have a chance to be heard due to two party system. Even Trump couldn’t pull of an insurrection despite being well positioned to do so. I wouldn’t blame regular Americans for not being able to pull it off all things considered.

That’s how one can check their credentials but you’d expect journalists to do that work for you.

Funny that they never say who those researchers are - private sector contractors with barely anything published under their names.

on How to disconnect the wifi and bluetooth module in your LG OLED C-Series in c/technology@piefed.social · 8 Sep 2026
I deal with phoning home by router-level blocking LG domains and IPs (based on a community sourced list). Given that I’m not updating the TV to preserve jailbreak it’s unlikely that this list will ever have to be updated.

on How to disconnect the wifi and bluetooth module in your LG OLED C-Series in c/technology@piefed.social · 8 Sep 2026
You could also jailbreak it and disabled it via homebrew ;)
I only have BT disabled though, still need networking to control DYI ambilight. I think blocking LG addresses on the router does the trick for phoning home, or at least it doesn’t nag me about updates anymore.

US, China and Russia won’t sign it. The longer I live the more I wonder why small countries want to handicap themselves against aggression this way. Any country will withdraw from this, same as with mines and cluster munitions, when they get a whiff of being threatened. By then they will be late in development of those new weapons and forced to buy them from US or China or Russia, to double the irony.

It’s never been easier not to be a Sony customer, they don’t really do anything unique these days. Heck, I bought an old professional CRT monitor recently and opted for JVC one out of spite.

I feel this is Americans being completely misguided as to their own interests, mostly due to shortsightedness, insider dealing and other forms of corruption.
One of the pillars of American imperialism is intellectual property law enforcement (can’t joint WTO unless you agree to TRIPS). If we now say that IP law doesn’t apply if you compress IP via LLM then creative work becomes unprofitable and US doesn’t have media to export. Trump and company might be deluded enough to think they can replace it with LLM output but would their Supreme Court agree? That US media made half of the world look at everything through American perspective, which gave them immeasurable advantage akin to cultural victory in Civilisation games.
I don’t think that’s the end of the story because US media still have their own lobbyists. It’s a clusterfuck but at least it’s „interesting” to observe.
This problem is bigger than US domestic politics.
