It’s actually called eDellRoot, not Superfish though.
You can safely assume that probably every manufacturer did or still does similar thing - whether they’re caught is another story though.

You should always clean install your OS. Let the guys wanting to spy on you put some effort in.

hessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.deto politics @lemmy.world•Sheryl Crow says goodbye to her Tesla and donates to NPR: 'You have to decide who you are willing to align with'1·4 months agoMaybe, but who are you to mandate someone else’s choices?
Please point out the section where I did.
I could go down a list of places those other choices lag,
Please do, that’s relevant info for people currently seeking to buy an EV.
It’s fine that you find them unimportant but what gives you the right to dictate to anyone else?
99% of your text is you discussing against something I never wrote - Textbook straw man.
hessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.deto politics @lemmy.world•Sheryl Crow says goodbye to her Tesla and donates to NPR: 'You have to decide who you are willing to align with'2·4 months agoWithin the budget of a used Tesla Model 3 are a lot of better cars.

hessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@beehaw.org•I love my smart TV (From Mastodon) - Repost1·5 months agoI wouldn’t put it past Samsung to try and force you to have internet access enabled so they can spy on you.
However having additional hardware to directly access the internet via cellular is a bit much. That might have been an Aprils fools article by some IT site.
When Sony tried to install root kits on PCs of folks just trying to watch a movie on a legit purchased DVD there was a quite large shitstorm.
hessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@beehaw.org•I love my smart TV (From Mastodon) - Repost1·5 months agoSome require you to be online.
I’d take it back to the store as broken. Never heard of that though.
Some took it a step further and are equipped with 4/5G modems to bypass your network restrictions.
Never heard of this either and it would raise a massive stink in the EU. Can you share an example?

hessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.deto politics @lemmy.world•Trump MAGA supporters crash Harris’ rally ... and she smokes them with a great one-liner26·8 months agoThat’s an invitation to the general public (including conservatives) to attend (could be online) a Trump rally to see for themselves. It wasn’t an order to go to the opponent (and heckle them).
It’s gigantic difference.

Also you shouldn’t reward bad actors providing a shit place to live by making their vote count significantly more.
One citizen one vote!

Well I’m trapped in it (purchased software, connected devices). The fence is knee-high at most though.
I’m using both iPhones and Android phones (vanilla and rooted), the only valid point you make is about using themes. I belong to to the 99,9% of users who don’t bother.
You forgot some important feature that Android phones have: They don’t pester you too much about privacy: they allow per default to use the GPS, message you, etc. Also they come with a lot of unneeded apps preinstalled, some of these being impossible to deinstall
hessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.deto Memes@lemmy.ml•In the USA, it is proper etiquette to ask if the person would prefer dying before you call an ambulance3·10 months agoIn Germany even calling the the emergency numbers frivolously is a felony. An ambulance is for emergencies. if you call them because you don’t feel like taking a cab somebody else might die because the ambulance can’t reach them in time. That being said that conservative chud is still a fucking idiot.
hessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.deto Memes@lemmy.ml•In the USA, it is proper etiquette to ask if the person would prefer dying before you call an ambulance2·10 months agoYep, it’s a felony to even call the emergency number frivolously.
Guy that named it called it Aluminum, Alumium, and Aluminium. Aluminium stuck, even in the US.
Then some weirdo types decided they were in charge of naming things in the US decided it needs to be Aluminum. It took them about 50-90 years to succeed.
Talking speed differs greatly by region though. Slowest speakers are probably Swiss and fastest being citizens of Frankfurt.
