0-Day TV Exploit

Thanks f0dder for throwing out some fodder...  You can screw up any OS if you try hard enough.   Of course it's a little hard to do on Linux, but give them credit for trying hard.   :P

Before too long, zero day exploit for smart chips embedded into human brains

Pictures of the dystopian future... :(

Or, would they just have backdoors?

f0dder:
But if it was Windows based, you would be getting the Blue (or White) screen of death every 2 hours of use.....   :o-Tinman57 (December 15, 2012, 07:51 PM)

The last time I saw a BSOD was when my SSD (holding my system partition) died. Before that, it was a buggy 3rd party VPN driver. Before that? Probably a hardware failure several years ago :). I wonder how Windows Embedded holds up these days - wouldn't put it in anything life-sensitive (but then I wouldn't use linux there either), but it just might be decent enough for a TV?
