Was this something called ceefax or teletext? I vaguely remember hearing of someone using it to book a holiday when I was growing up

So true, this really highlights the risk of updates impacting critical systems vs critical systems being exposed to critical vulnerabilities. Its a real balancing act.

I remember learning about this in the early 00's but then the textbooks were saying about this newer memory technology which the world has moved to known as DDR! Makes me feel so old now 👵

You wanna talk Chinese spyware, why are they not outright banning Temu? That's a much better documented case of actually being spyware.

In terms of Tiktok being spyware, they are tracking users in much the same ways that every other big social media company is. Should other nations be worried about Facebook sharing that data with the US govt to produce psyops campaigns against foreign nations?

I'm against any country blocking access to things in the name of "national security" and providing little to no evidence on it. Its been done too many times to trojan horse in other malicious activities that governments want to do.

I'm an idiot so excuse me if this is just way too simple. If you're able to remove DRM and get the file, is it not just possible to copy the content out of the file and make a brand new file?

I know I'm probably over simplifying things but I know if I'm paranoid about stuff like exif data in an image, if I'm in a pinch I'll just screenshot the original image instead.
