“google mislead ____ about privacy”…no! Really?! They would never!

It limits usb to just charging when device is locked, so I don’t see how something could get through.

Sounds like someone hasn’t heard of exploits.

this is supposed to be new information to people in this community?

I swear 99% of the posts I see here are just shit that I learned about right after the Snowden leaks…are people really that stupid that they can’t remember that what Snowden warned us about is still happening?

you know what? as I was typing that, I realized that people don’t know that Edward Snowden isn’t the wikileaks guy…so yes, people are indeed that stupid

you’d be surprised to find out that’s not entirely true…I’m sure it stops some, but there’s a lot more it doesn’t stop

my only advice, don’t do it without a VPN, proton, ivpn or mullvad

with ivpn and proton, be sure to have some other stuff open on the same device to make some extra noise to help prevent fingerprinting the traffic

with mullvad, enable DAITA, matter of fact, use DAITA whenever you’re using mullvad, it makes things a bit slower, but it’s worth it to not have to worry about any AI finding a pattern in your traffic

This isn’t new. Anyone who doesn’t have their webcams covered with white tape is an idiot

most likely, yes. It’s shocking how shitty the security measures are on so many things.

There was a game a few years ago where the DRM was so insanely aggressive it wouldn’t accept a legitimate key, and it only took about 2 minutes to break the DRM

Ever wonder why big tech companies go through data-breaches constantly? but 0% of privacy friendly things ever have that problem?

That’s because your data on those privacy friendly services is encrypted with its own key so anyone who wants to break in and steal data would need to break into each account one at a time…so that’s why facebook, google and amazon have databreaches all the time. because of a combo of shitty security and social engineering

privacy friendly services don’t allow their workers to have the ability to give away the goods

I’ll give you that, but I blame the public schools for conditioning kids into not using their brains

but a safe that doesn’t have anything digital inside of it wouldn’t run a python script

An insider threat was basically the only kind possible, but the only “hacked” output would just be a failed “off” state, which wouls be replaced.

Exactly, the computers that used to control our nukes were so old and so simple that they literally can’t do anything but what they were designed to do, they require physically inserting old floppy disks and manually entering codes to access, no network access, no ability to multitask, so malware can’t run in parallel with the other process…singular for the word “process” because those old computers can’t multitask

now they’re using modern computers that just recently got hacked with a sharepoint vulnerability…by the way, a whitelisting application that indiscriminately blocks everything that hasn’t already been allowed to run would’ve blocked the processes of that exploit and prevented anything from happening…I actually use something like that on my windows PCs

All those prehistoric old farts in our government thought that would be an “upgrade” and then they probably just used norton to secure it because they’re too stupid to research anything that might be better

Mechanical safes only, no electricity needed, no hacking possible…just like the computers we used to use to control nukes. Which could literally only do the one thing they were designed to do and nothing else, they couldn’t be hacked

There’s some sexy ladies working as pharmacists…that’s a tall order

My ex girlfriend works at a convenience store late night. I buy packets of condoms when she’s on duty there

two questions…

Is jellyfin used for anything other than watching pirated copies of media?

Is that a stupid question?

well I’m sure there’s romantic grinding in this picture too

this is why having digital ID would be horrible for everyone

always assume you’re compromised to some degree

The people doing the calls are overwhelmingly impoverished,

not always, but even in the cases where it is like that, these scumbags know what they’re doing, they know they’re trying to steal from people through fraud. Several of my family members with dementia were scammed repeatedly by the same scammers

you know what else? scammers share information about their victims with other scammers, usually through facebook groups, whatapp and/or telegram

and when they’re first setting up RD on the victim’s PC, they set up several of them, including ConnectWise.

most of the people doing scam calls there are from wealthy and/or well connected family

most of the time the cops in india will make a big show of arresting them, but the scammers are released shortly after

The big railroads are laser focused on short term profits these days

every company is laser focused on short term profits, none of the executives care about long term sustainability because they get obscenely large severence packages when they get fired or if the company goes bankrupt from their stupidity

not caring about the big picture or what might happen in the future is why everything sucks
