I am surprised it's called "America's celebrated work ethic" - from my (Dutch) perspective, it's notoriously terribly exploitative and bordering on dystopian for many. Is it true that people celebrate American work practices?!

The article did mention them as "registered", so I don't think this applies.

According to Wikipedia it's not, so you're safe

"Setting up a base in Vietnam" for a US company sounds like slightly painful wording to me..

I'm wondering if it's tied to how status symbols differ per culture. Its been 20 years, but I don't remember status symbols mattering much to my environment when I was a teenager in the Netherlands. I wonder how that is now.

I find their statements a bit on the sweeping side.

Out of more than 1.8 million administrator credentials analyzed, over 40,000 entries were “admin,” showing that the default password is widely accepted by IT administrators.

That's just over 2 percent. "Widely accepted" in my book is a much larger percentage..

I wonder what would happen to the works were the museum to go bankrupt instead - then they would be sold for their "monetary value" as well, right? Then this seems more like protest for protest sake, as it's a last resort damage control measure that can hardly be avoided from the sound of it.

"up to 1% of 2100 planes could be affected" followed by "based on our calculations, as many as 21 planes could be affected" made me chuckle.
