So they hired this guy?

Did you even read the NPRM?

1. Drones would be required to transmit their flights over the internet.
2. Drone owners would be required to pay a flightradar24.com type site to receive their flight data (no one will do that for free).
3. Any random fuckwit that thinks "omg drones steeling my soulz or my seekrit gardening tricks" could see the flight data on said sites and possibly go hurt drone owners if they felt slighted by a nearby drone flight.
4. The sites would have to retain the data for 6 months minimum.
5. No current drone would be legal. No transponder add-on kits would be allowed.
6. No other class of aircraft in the US is currently subjected to such rules or anything close to it.

It would be one thing for the FAA to say "by day X, the drone manufacturers need to come up with an RF protocol that scales better than ADS-B for drones (and eventually all aircraft). by day X+Y all drones need to have a transponder transmitting this protocol and a N-number." and leave it at that...that would bring the drone world up to parity with the manned aviation world.

This is basically all the "security-minded" / "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" types got to do whatever they wanted without regard for anything remotely resembling freedom or privacy.

CERN already found a fifth Force on April 1 2015.

Episode 1.
The way Jar-Jar tricked everyone for over a decade into thinking he was just a buffoon put there to sell toys and not the real Dark Lord of the Sith is impressive. Itâ(TM)ll be appreciated someday.

And since it's completely immobile you have to buy one for each location you want to use it in!
More money for Apple!

A voice operated phone.....operators will make a comeback.
Then hipsters will demand actual human operators connect their calls.

WTF?
If you can climb all the way to registry-editing admin, why would you waste that trying to disable an update that prevents you from merely reading memory?
You *ALREADY* owned the box to the point where you could load a custom kernel driver and simply sniff everyone's memory through that at full speed.

Hallowed are the Ori.

The FCC *forced* TP-Link to support open firmware as part of a settlement agreement made AFTER these new rules.

Historically, governments have a piss poor track record of actually limiting the scope of such measures.

For example, the income tax in the US was originally advertised as to only apply to something like the top 1% of 1% - and look where it is now (tens of thousands of pages that impact everyone, billion dollar industries around complying with it).

Once you let the government control X or do Y in certain cases, they'll try to expand the allowable cases as far as possible as quickly as possible.
 

The PDF from the FCC explicitly mentions blocking DD-WRT from being loaded.

Or, as biological computer interfaces improve, "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated."

So it's at 999/1000ths the level it was before?

Sure seems "effective".

I tried using Google to search for articles on the era before Google, but it returned nothing.

If you want your gamer tag to have real power, choose well...like this guy did.

It may not be good power but it has power.
