I’ve always wanted to meet that 1 out of the 10 who don’t. Probably would be interesting to have a beer with.

I might be misunderstanding the licenses so correct me if wrong.

Can companies use GPL code internally without release as long as the thing written with it doesn’t get directly released to the public?

… or does GPL pollute everything even if used internally for commercial purposes?

+1. Lots of people are also likely to not have any idea about the situation and just think their PC crashes or acts up more. More of these issues can pop up over time.

A recall forces them to notify customers of the issue so the customer can act on it.

If the product has issues it should be legally required to either have a warranty extension, recall, or both. Heck they shouldn’t be selling more units until it’s figured out and patched.

It’s absurd to say: “it might have problems but we’ll keep selling it as is”.

We have safety recalls. There should be product degregation recalls.

Unless your lists are 1000s of items long, just use text files in a folder.

Could even go fancy and use markdown.

Recommend cloudflare for DNS. I use it for DDNS via API and it works great.

You also basically pay the wholesale rate without markup for the domain.

+1 to NPM. Works really easily for certs and auto renewal.

Sometimes I wonder: for a PC sitting behind a consumer router with no extra ports forwarded: How important are OS updates?

I mean if everything works for you on this version, why rock the boat? The idea is supposed to be security, fixes, and new features. We can throw out new features and fixes if you’re happy with everything as is.

Security is very buzzy and kind of vague to this type of user, but they also probably don’t tread far off from popular (likely … hopefully … safe) websites.

So hmm, if not accessing unsafe websites, and hidden behind a router NAT, and with physical safety of home, I wonder if the benefit of rocking the boat (and getting more ads and crap) is worth it.

Like definitely risks are there for any internet connected device but weighing it would be interesting. Someone in infosec should do a real analysis of this situation.

I’ll cast a vote for checking the local Facebook marketplace or craigslist for a deal on a good laser printer.
