It’s hidden because the data is notoriously inaccurate. If people knew how bad, they wouldn’t be using/buying the devices.

Been dead 8 years.

Exactly!

Any modern phone os locks to pin after 3 tries.

Now depending how good they are, it’s often possible to guess it by looking at the smear patterns on the phone.

IANAL, but I’d be very careful about wiping the phone like that. Sounds a lot like destruction of evidence…

Myspace is still around or was a few years ago…

“was” I expect all anti trust suits to disappear come January.

No one is “reaching” us here, don’t worry. There’s no need to be paranoid.

That is an extremely naive take. All it takes is one person to notice the verse or it to get a little bigger. The work required to get the reddit bot nets to also invade here would be tiny.

Plus by its very nature the verse is basically defenseless. It’s the definition of security through obscurity.

Star wars uses different physics, you can actually see light move there. Wouldn’t work on earth.

That went the other way, it is easier. The ending was just putting him back.

Holy fuck that was a long time ago. :(

About to be? My dad and mom are TV level hoarders. It’s going to take dumpsters to clean their houses. And very little to none of it is worth anything.

It’s a different risk vector. While companies want your information to sell, they don’t want to take over your computer to use it in a bot net or steal your bank information and clean out your account.

Open source by it’s very nature relies on a lot of people having good intentions, free time, and knowledge for it to work well and safely.

Absolutely that’s always good. I was talking more about someone intentionally adding malicious code though.

Because China has always held it would start a full-scale invasion if they ever did. So everyone ignores the elephant and keeps the status quo…

While it was true for a long time, I don’t think Taiwan expects to get China back anymore. It’s more not to start WW3 for the last 30+ years

One of the big weaknesses of open source is the same as democracy. Nobody has time to review every piece of code (or research and hold accountable every politician) which leads to risks.

Aren’t you assuming everyone else can’t care about video games because you don’t?

Why does being a programmer matter? You’re not implying that technology groups should care about programming I hope.

It was broken before then, the whole distributed user and instances is hard for the average non techy. This is the same issue Linux has. People say “just install Linux” but when the person Google’s it, they get destroyed with 30 plus flavors and don’t understand what to do.
