I have 0 skin in the game and honestly don’t know much about Nest but yeah those look like memes made by a dad who just discovered what memes are

Robert Yang is a goddamn gay visionary genius and we need more from him. Enough said.

Buying a Honda Insight is still the worst decision he’s ever made, a problem somehow solved by the second worst decision he’s ever made.

No, androids

I think the “huge stink” was more about setting precedent than actually thinking that there was this super valuable info on this phone that they needed to get to. The more they can lower the discourse on encryption, the easier their jobs are.

Thing about that is that aliens, at least, are real.

This, exactly. If anyone thought there would be ANY useful information in this phone 5 months later - they live in a reality inhabitted by rainbow shitting unicorns.

I get where you’re coming from, but in no way is that something we should be entitled to. Do you also think the CIA and NSA should open up their files to the public? There are definitely things that should not be public knowledge, and active investigations into terrorist groups is pretty much at the top of that list.…

Creating case law, was always the reason.
