Is it not an equally good marketing strategy to just release the product?

Moreso than violating the trust placed in him is violating the trust readers put into the Ars publication.

Not sure what your point is. Apple notoriously works really hard to keep all this stuff under wraps. They even sue the people who leak them. The fact that people are reporting on the leak is supposed to somehow suggest that it wasn't an accident?

I suspect it'll come with 8GB RAM to ensure the price can't justify it's usefulness...

E: looking up the leaks confirms it's supposed to be 8GB RAM. Imagine selling a PC with 8GB RAM for $700+ in 2026. So insane. I can get a better PC than that for $400.

It's relevant in a situation where the author has not accepted responsibility.

but he was sick, and he did make a mistake, and him being fired does not make either of those things false.

No, but I believe they were, nonetheless. Regardless, those things also do not excuse his actions, which is why I said he should be, and ultimately was, fired. And I think that's a positive thing.

Also, a ton of people were piling on him in that thread, so you had plenty of company in calling him to be fired.

The point is, plenty of people were downvoting me and defending him (such as yourself), which is what made it "controversial". I was explaining this to the person who was confused as to why it was controversial.

Encryption wouldn't solve anything anyway. The problem is not the content of the messages, that's just tire pressure, which changes constantly, and wouldn't be useful. The problem is the unique identifier that's being broadcast constantly. Theoretically its a very simple fix: Just implement a sort of rolling code that periodically modifies the identifier.

You still have to remove and reinstall the tire...

Mullvad is widely considered the best VPN, so they're actually not wrong on this one. Don't take it from Meta, there are tons of other unbiased sources on this.

When I suggested he be fired on another thread I received several responses saying "he made a mistake" and "he was sick", and many downvotes in return.

The AI promoters are going to run her and me and probably you into the ground and walk over us all, as they move on to their glorious future

LOL there's no "glorious future", they're just going to rat fuck themselves, because those accounts are going to be riddled with errors.
