So many ways that this can be unpacked. Bravo!

sdca··on Secret Dots from Printer Outed NSA Leaker
The dots would be a violation of the 1st amendment if any of the printer companies were forced to add them but it seems they willingly added them or with a little back room arm twisting.
sdca··on Tim Cook’s refusal to help FBI hack iPhone is validated by ‘WannaCry’ attack
I agree with you on all points besides securing with a key being somehow a more desirable trait to a backdoor. Keys can leak(such as TSA checked baggage master keys) or authentication could be bypassed(such as Intel ME).

BGR is simply virtue signalling against the feds when it comes to comparing the "virus of the day" with a hypothetical data recovery method that would only be available in an offline forensics lab setting with no viral attributes.

WannaCry is much more Microsoft's fault than the feds or Wikileaks.

sdca··on Net neutrality is in jeopardy again
It's because those who seek to create an echo chamber in a discussion thread about so-called neutrality have no sense of irony of what they're doing.
sdca··on Show HN: Kryptonite – a new home for your SSH private key
You've hit the nail on the head. If your computer's ssh binary can be compromised so can krd.

If the main objective is to prevent other apps in user space from reading unlocked private keys, why not just ssh/sudo into a secondary account where the default shell is set to an ssh client?

sdca··on Netflix Will Be the Exclusive US TV Home of Disney, Marvel, Lucasfilm and Pixar
In other words they made a deal with just Disney, which happens to own those other three studios.
sdca··on CCTV Cameras Sold on Amazon Come with Pre-Installed Malware
No flagship SOC in the world is immune to backdoors. Both Chinese & U.S. governments have massive spying programs with corporate participation. Good luck getting meaningful third party audits with highly complex, obfuscated, and proprietary designs that the companies will lobby against deciphering...
sdca··on StartSSL domain validation vulnerability
It's absolutely not an overreaction if it really happened. However, no hard evidence has been presented yet. I'm seeing screenshots and a story that anyone could have cooked up.
sdca··on StartSSL domain validation vulnerability
Could the hotmail address have been allowed because it's listed on his domain name's WHOIS?
sdca··on Why is Google allowing this popular app to violate so many Google Play rules?
Yes. OP is literally "soundcloud_musician" on Reddit complaining about copyright infringement that's not taking place.

However forced ranking, deep linking, and previous ban evasion are all real concerns for Google's reputation as a corporate friendly gatekeeper.
