Basically, the NSA was incompetent and didn't know basic security. Surprised? I didn't think so.

That's been common knowledge since their inception... or at least since they've been retasked to spy on American citizens.

Fedora 28, likely more than six months away, is going to focus heavily on improving laptop battery life. Something very much needed in the Linux world.

I wonder why any delivery driver would agree to work with such service. Something gets stolen from your house, blame the delivery guy. Huge liability for them.

Not likely. I guarantee that they have legal forms for that. And don't they use cameras?

Did you not read the article you linked? The hack specifically disables the camera.

That's different, though. We are talking about willingness to be the delivery guy. It's not really a realistic expectation that someone will hack the camera when YOU are the delivery guy.

But if they did, which is possible, it makes it not your problem. As it is just disabled and your house exposed.

Like you really wanted this service anyhow.
The whole thing seems like a bad idea.

Camera might not be covering everything, it might be placed badly, house layout could prevent that, just too many variables to rely on single camera.

I don't think that they are supposed to enter the house and go past the camera, right? They are to set the box inside? So if they can't be seen entering the house, they are covered.

Darling trying to get MacOS apps running on Linux. This prompts the obvious question of... why would anyone want something made for macOS somewhere else?
