The last console I owned was the Xbox 360. Once I started seeing non-gaming advertisements on my home screen, I lost all interest in the product line.

Sometimes I think internet connectivity was a mistake.

There aren’t any repercussions for submitting a false DMCA claim. There are for pushing the claim after the target files a counterclaim, but it’d require an uphill legal battle that most people aren’t able to fight so they simply give in and pull their video even if it falls under fair use.

Then to add to that, YouTube’s own policy will suspend your account after a few copyright claims regardless of their merits, and getting strikes removed is nearly impossible.

Basically if you’re not a major corporation with a legal team on standby, you’re getting screwed by both sides.

IIRC it’s also one of the worst greenhouse gasses in existence, unfortunately.

Edit: the worst greenhouse gas. Why are cool things always secretly terrible?

Is this the real reason self-driving cars are expected to need 300gb of RAM, so that they can remember a failed route from thirty seconds ago?

They are visible, you can test this yourself. Open a password-protected zip with 7zip and it’ll show the file list even without entering the password. The “encrypt file names” checkbox doesn’t even appear when creating an archive if the zip format is selected, so I’m not sure the format supports it.

That seems less like them decrypting encrypted archives and more like the zip format not encrypting filenames so they’re easily read from the zip’s metadata.

Which is still a privacy violation, to be clear, but not nearly on the same scale as somehow obtaining and using your passwords to decrypt data you yourself encrypted.

“The internet would be a series of tubes if we rolled out fiber, but as the literal chairman of the Senate committee regulating the internet I’m somehow against that.”
