It allows stupid people to have a community where they feel smart, and that they know something most people don’t.

I bet that’s not something they are used to

Wouldn’t Netflix’s password sharing fall under the same law then?

They use user information like connected wifi and position data to determine if a device is used away from the defined “home”.

I’m stunned with how bad it was and why they hell they didn’t use the same strategy that made Windows popular… The apps.

My work back then gave me a Windows Phone. Very few of the apps I had on my Android phone was available for my work phone.

On top of that a lot of things simply didn’t work. One thing I still remember was that Alarm volume and Ring tone volume could not be adjusted individually.

The whole thing felt like they wanted to reinvent the wheel and started from absolute scratch without learning from the innovation in the past decade of mobile phones.

It’s sad, a third competitor in the smartphone space wouldn’t have been a bad thing.

And you “own” it only as long as they deem it. https://nofilmschool.com/warner-bros-deleting-purchased-digital-content

One of the techniques is called buffer overflow. Where you target a flaw in some software. Computers are logic, they will do EXACTLY what you tell them. Imagine if an image viewer uses an dll to process jpg. That dll expects a very specific header. If this is not handled correctly and a malicious attacker crafts the header to be slightly larger and the larger part contains executable code. This code spills over in the adjacent memory area. The OS then reads this as code to run… and boom you are in.

This is oversimplified and proberly not explained correctly, but its something like that; and that kids, is why its important to update your OS and software.

Sometimes they find bugs like this, that have existed for many years before being discovered.

British people do…

Nah, at that time AudioGalaxy was in full spring and I was rocking the MZ-R30 Minidisc walkman.

Again, they dont care about privacy in any other way than the want your data for themselves. Are you really that naive?

Nah, Americans just mistake subsidized healthcare and prohibitive gun laws as actual communism

Go watch Louis Rossman, he shoots down almost all of your Apple propaganda, eh ment arguments.

Oh please, Apple doesn’t give a shit about their customers nor does any other major corporation for that matter. Only money matters.

But It’s in no way helpful advice to someone who is lonely or otherwise struggling. It’s almost along the lines of “why don’t you just cheer up”.

Helpful advice would be something along the lines “I understand you are struggling, maybe it would be a good idea to check out therapy”

“You need to love yourself, before you can love someone else”

I feel old now…

Most young people are basically tech illiterate. Yeah they are fantastic with new apps and phones. But have zero idea how any of it works under the hood.

Ask them to transfer a file from a computer to a USB drive, most will not know how. They have no idea how a file system is structured or even that an app has to specifically made for different platforms… e.g. Facebook app on Apple is completely different from Facebook on Android and the two will contain different bugs and different settings.

We are almost back to default browser = internet
