There is a game called Perfect World and literally one of the first thing you do is fight giant crabs . <| sep |> Ill give him that , but he should not be fucking with us in the first place , so fuck uspez <| sep |> Usually the damages i spoke of come from lawsuits . Government intervention in bank failures rarely go to the holders of cash in the bank , but usually to the government itself in terms of penalties . I respect your opinion , but fear that any regulation on ' protecting ' the quality of softwarefirmware would be code auditing and certification . If code auditing and certification for code writing is the suggested steps , I genuinely fear for the future of innovation . Remember from every failure we learn and I am sure the IoT companies in question have learned . Will they fail again , most certainly . It ' ll improve though or the result is that their industry will eventually die out from failing to provide the service they promise . If you feel that government should intervene and regulate how do you suppose they should regulate software and firmware code to increase security of those devices ?
