Recently, eh?
You consider the 1800’s recent? Because there were news articles reporting on the issue back then.
Here’s an article from 1896 for you to read over, provided you care about learning how you’re wrong.

Everyone in the replies here is sleeping on the raw emulation power of most people’s phone, doubly so if you’re willing to bt sync a controller to it. I’ve got a significant percentage of the SNES and PS1 libraries playable on mine.
While you may be correct I think you’re still missing the point. CLI is for super nerds. While you and I may know how to use it, the average person doesn’t, and is unlikely to put in the effort to learn. That is the innovation that Apple made in bringing computing to the mainstream. It was precisely because people didn’t have to learn how to navigate the CLI environment and instead got an easy point-and-click interface that computers caught on with the public at large, and that gained Apple an absolute ton of cash money and noteriety.
It is clearly criminal already.
Yeah but I’m not out here paying $50 to put some pixels on someone else’s post. Cry more
Your phone has to be informed somehow, from the internet, that it has data to present as a notification. The fact that you got a notification at 3:32 and then again at 3:35 is trackable data, pretty much no matter what anyone does with it, encrypted or not. Doubly so if someone has MITM attacked your data stream. They may not know what the notification contains or even what app it was sent to, but the act of transmitting and then receiving this data packet over cell network or internet is a trackable event. And I don’t really know what Apple could even do about that beyond attempting to build Internet 2 solely for the purposes of keeping the cops out of it, which is unlikely at best.
Be quiet, the adults are talking.
Because, historically, prohibition of [x] has been a highly effective strategy with no downsides whatsoever.
Now every skiddie can do it.
And this is the real, serious problem. Most people are pretty unlikely to stop a state sponsored spy operation no matter how careful they are. It’s barely worth worrying about unless you know for a fact you’re being tapped and that you will be killed about it, and even if you do know this the state can pull some space age bullshit out of their asses that doesn’t yet have a counter. Top secret military industrial research goes into maintaining that exact advantage every year, if they really want to get you, you will get got. But if Joey Dickbeater and his school friends can just point a mic at your window and then upload it to the Pass-o-Gram to decode it, you have a real problem. It’s like when TikTok kids figured out they can steal Kias with usb keys - if every teenager in America knows how to steal your car, its lifetime is going to be measured in minutes. Same with passwords.
Sounds like it’s time to buy a bunch of random cherry switches and randomize them across my keyboard…
Odd that they would mail you a survival package when their goal is explicitly to kill everyone on earth.
Right, because nobody has ever studied military history. Surely there isn’t a college degree path centered around it or anything.
There are a multitude of reasons to recommend against using Brave.
Personally I refuse to install it because the CEO and creator, Brendan Eich, unapologetically donates to right wing and anti-gay establishments. Many people refuse to use it because it games the users and advertisers with a proprietary cryptocurrency that isn’t actually useful for anything except making money for Brave. Others refuse to use it because in 2020 Brave was caught adding their own affiliate codes and tracking data to websites in the url bar, even ones that were typed in by hand. That was eventually rolled back but it didn’t help me trust them any.
Vivaldi is a better browser option, in my opinion.
They’ll suddenly care an awful lot when fish dying out means penguins and seals dying out means polar bears dying out. There is no creature that exists in a vacuum.
That would be because Cortana was hot garbage at doing anything and was significantly slower than just typing my query by hand.
If they built an assistant that was worth half a fuck maybe we might have used it now and then. I’m not very confident that Copilot is that. But it’s going to be more useful than Cortana was almost no matter what they do with it.
And that’s not even getting into the point of how much easier and less illegal it is to snipe an Amazon drone out of the sky for its payload than it is to assault an Amazon delivery truck and driver. It may not be more common in the long run than porch pirates, because that’s also easy and low risk, but I 100% fully guarantee you our redneck population will be out in some capacity hunting for Christmas presents.
Unfortunately the actions of the man who owns a rocket ship company, an electric car company, and a social media company are, by definition, technology news.
Everyone wants to bitch about how much Muskrat is in the news, well then, maybe don’t let him buy every company you want to get news on.
“This isn’t tech news” it literally is. I hate the fucker as much as the next guy but keeping an eye on his actions is necessary. Letting him run wild with the public turning a blind eye is a recipe for much, much, MUCH more disaster than has already been caused.
This particular article? Yeah I can’t give a shit about Stephen King wishing Twitter had it’s old name back. This article is worthless. But news about, for example, Musk buying Twitter, or Musk changing the name of Twitter, or Musk undermining all ability to determine fact from fiction by changing Twitter verification, is extremely important information for your average user.
It’s what is known as a canary statement. Taken from when miners used to take canaries into the mines so that the bird would die first if there was toxic gas.
If the canary is dead, something is wrong. Google had it in their mission statement to not do bad things, then that was quietly removed. The canary is dead.
Anecdotal, and I am a Windows idiot, but I’ve never had a problem like this with Firefox in my life. People always talk about how slow it is and how half the internet doesn’t work on it but I’ve personally never had a single problem. It’s just worked perfectly out of the box since the very beginning.
Makes me wonder what the difference is.
There’s nothing wrong with monetizing the filming of vulnerable people without their consent?
Okay
Boltgun accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do. Great game. It gives me the same sort of power fantasy vibe that Space Hulk: Deathwing did but lets you actually move at the terrifying speed that a space marine should.
