Unfortunately, making technological things overly complicated reduces the number of hackers from modifying them. This means, unethical practices like spying on consumers and planned obsolescence are more likely to succeed. We are living in an a world without ethics where capital gains are involved. We, the most civilised and evolved species on the planet, indulge in business activities that kill the breadmaking of our rivals. The only thing that counts is increased financial returns at the end of the year.
So, make horrible (irrational) technological decisions to achieve whatever is set to be achieved.

Why not the 0 volt rail of the power supply?! ] _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
