How to Fix the Internet is @EFF's amazing new podcast: nuanced discussions of tech law and ethics with incredible experts, interviewed and contextualized by EFF executive director Cindy Cohn and strategy director @mala.

I devoured the first three episodes. I mean, I started working with EFF nearly 19 years ago (!) but I was learning SO MUCH from them.

Today, the episode I recorded dropped. I've never been in such august company.

Our discussion is about the role interoperability plays in helping technology users exercise self-determination, giving them alternatives to bad moderation, abusive lock-in, and poor security choices.

Jetstream is the Walmart brand name for a line of cheap Chinese wifi base-station/routers; other popular, cheap brands like Wavlink and Winstars appear to come from the same manufacturer and they all share a grave security vulnerability: a powerful back-door.

1/ Image
A collaboration between @CyberNews_com, @jtcsec, @0xLupin and @Lexcor1 documents the back-door, attempts to connect multiple corporate identities to a common owner, and presents (very) rough estimate of the number of devices that share this defect.

2/
The researchers say that the back-door allows remote parties to "monitor and control all traffic coming through" affected devices, using an undocumented web-form that accepts commands and runs them as root.

During the first dotcom bubble, @jwz coined Zawinski's Law: "Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can." It's all three kinds of funny: funny ha-ha, funny strange, and funny serious.

It's the software equivalent of carcinization, the tendency of every animal to eventually evolve into a crab. Crab's aren't the best animal, but they're the most versatile.

Today in @xkcd, Randall Munroe updates Zawinski's Law with a strip called "Unread," in the way that mounting unread message counts eventually turn every instant messaging platform into email.

Under the leadership of the murderer Mohammad bin Salman, the Saudi royal family (and the Saudi state it controls) have embarked on "Vision 2030," a plan to shift the country's economy from oil to not-oil.

Extraction-based states are always dysfunctional. All you need to run an extraction economy is a hole in the ground surrounded by guns. Being a leader of such a state requires merely that you be able to judge which mercenaries and diggers to hire.

2/
When these leaders are called upon to do anything more sophisticated - particularly anything that requires forbearance, tolerance, and a degree of personal discomfort - they fail, badly.

Sure, MBS was up to the task of going to NYC to drink Starbucks with Bloomberg.
