Man... in a better world Nintendo wouldn't have a case because liberating encryption keys is the basis for interoperability, which is good for, you know, competition. Competition is good. Or so I've heard.
The sheer waste of energy and mass production of garbage clogging up search results alone is enough to make me hope the bubble will pop reeeeal soon. Sucks for research but honestly the bad far outweighs the good right now, it has to die.
I don't find that scarier than the cheap suicide quad copters we've seen in Ukraine.
Except that FileZilla does come with bundled adware from their sponsors and they do want you to pay for the pro version. It probably is the shittiest GPL-licensed piece of software I can think of.

Such is the price of freeedom.
Okay, but this can't go through doors on its own either unless it brings an arm buddy.
I hear the voice of the machine spirit!
It's almost like marketing makes it sound like it's a fully-managed, worry-free service where users can just call up Bill Gates himself instead of hundreds of management portals someone has to babysit.
I got one, even though they must know that I'm not a US resident. Hope the people who didn't leave at least aren't dumb enough to give them money. "Special program" bullshit reads like a scam mail.

I've played Phantom Liberty, going to the moon would fit that story. Maybe this is cut content from that expansion, not its own thing.
Time for an anti-dog moat, I'd say. Full of robot sharks.
Alright, thank you for the information! I still think that those machines are unnecessary but I can see how they are at least not making things worse.
No paper trail still seems like insanity though, especially if auditing comes down to a non-technical person with "training" connecting some box to the machines that then tells them it's OK.
It also says that they might have planned a second expansion featuring it. Doesn't really say when the content was made, just that it would have been DLC.
How does the auditing work in these cases?
Also I found news reports about some US states still using machines without paper trail...
But what's the point? Count everything by hand instead of relying on the machine to report anomalies, do exit polls to satisfy the news cycle. This seems too important to introduce an ultimately opaque machine into and also costs a lot for zero gain.
And then there are also the machines that so take over the process more thoroughly.
Counting by hand is fine. I see no value in the process being instantaneous. Especially not compared to the monetary cost and organizational overhead.
The right thing would be to abandon the concept altogether. Paper is accessible and obvious to everybody, auditing an election machine isn't. Just keep it simple, even if it takes longer.
The one thing they are right about IMO is that voting machines are dangerous, useless garbage that endangers the integrity of the election protests.
The way they used them to do so wasn't on my list, but still.
EDIT: Wow, so many downvotes. Remember when these concerns were held by mostly left wing techy people? You don't have to love them now because Trump hates them/uses their presence to spread FUD. The fact that that works should be a strike against having them, FFS! You might think they are fine now but to regular people they are still opaque and scary.
OpenAI really captured the essence of "oh shit I didn't study for this exam at all so I'll just try and bullshit my way through it"
