alt Hacker NewsGenerally, I'm with you, but over the past decades I often saw companies being lazy about their software. So I think chances are good that we can make use of this situation. Not long ago, you had to accept certain decisions or servers going down with leaving devices useless. I'm hopeful that more stuff can have a 2nd/better life in our hands.
I like being able to have all this access, of course, but I'm not sure if "we" all truly have the character to be good stewards of this.
Or rather I am sure that we do not.
OTOH, maybe it needs events like these to build character. It just will suck for whoever turns out to be the collateral.
