The reason hackers get Sony is because they installed rootkits in everyone of their window's consumers. Then they apologized, released a "fix" that only hid the rootkit.
Besides, it must be fun to keep hacking the same company and seeing that they haven't changed anything in their IT.
I'm pretty happy to have not bought a single Sony product since 2005. I think that people should boycott brands that spit in their soup, but Doctorow makes a better point: these companies should be killed.
Also in Italy, if you pay cash at the pump you have to specify the exact amount. And woe to you if you over estimated how much you'll need < there's no change.
No one thinks its free of any effort. But $10 wrist watches claim 100m waterproof (whatever 100m means in watch land). All I want is my phone's screen not to mess up when if my buddy pushes me into the pool. 2 ft of water for 10 seconds. That's it.
Please, these things are not mechanical watches, which have been able accompany divers for literally centuries.
Speakers are trivially sealed, as are buttons. They are just a fancy electromagnet, or piezoelectric crystal.
Also both can work through induction potentially keeping them outside a "pressure chamber" and forgoing sealing altogether. Although I just want the steam of my shower not to mess up with my phone, not dive 100 m with it.
