You know what I don't hear being discussed? In 10 years when all the data centers start aging out, how are we going to handle the MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF E WASTE PRODUCED? I started wondering about this because some lady had a 55 inch tv she was having a problem disposing of. Seems Best Buy doesn't accept TV's that large and others want $60 to $120 to dispose of them. And got me thinking of how the US has nearly 50% of the entire world's operating data centers (if not more since there's no real count) and what happens when those boards and chips age out. Nothing lasts forever right? And will upgrades to systems be pc board replacements and what will be done with the old ones? Now we all know the businesses building, owning and operating these things haven't given much thought to this, they're all in it for the money. When the time comes they'll just sell it to some DF who hasn't wondered about this as well. Or do they already have a plan and they're not telling us because, well, it's not a good one. For us anyway. Please provide your thoughts on this. I'm curious as to what you think of this future environment consequence not being discussed. Those in E waste processing jobs - please chime in. You're the most qualified to inform us what to expect.

The works are the creators not the software itself. Humans are running these softwares and create these issues for many.

Eh, they'll only attack themselves and people who bury their faces and their children's faces in devices instead of omg having a child to interact with them birth to death themselves.

This technology will always enable attackers more than defenders and its ignorant to think otherwise. Attackers only need to succeed once while defenders need to succeed every single time. And the companies that rolled out these tools were just like “we’ll figure that out after we IPO and run off with your money.” Neat.

The malware needs permission. Unless the user has disabled their computer security, or clicked a link with malware attached, there is not much risk. People need to make a habit of not clicking links from people they don't know. Don't click links that say their from your bank. Call your bank or go directly to the bank website. Educate people, not just scare them.
