New fork in 3… 2… 1…

Oh thank goodness, I knew reality couldn’t be this fucking crazy!

What if you set a durress password to something simple like 12345, plead the 5th, and the cops try to brute force your device? Would it still be your fault or is it the cops fault since they are the ones who entered the password while trying to bypass your phone’s security measures?

Also, what if you explicitly tell them there is a durress password, but refuse to tell them what it is? Surely if they were informed of the risk and proceeded regardless the blame would fall squarely on them for risking a process that might “destroy evidence”

You can take this headline and replace the word consoles with just about any electronic device and it holds true imo.

Time to get shwifty.

Wrong

You’re right that they don’t need to, but in reality they do whether they announce it or not.

In 2017 I tested this at home alone in my apartment in by myself using my smarphone by finding a site with lots of banner ads, monologing next to my phone about a topic with no relation to my current life at the time for about a minute, then refreshing the page. To my horror, the exact thing I was monologing about showed up on every single banner ad. Nothing in my life was going on related to that topic and the only thing connecting me and the topic was my own vocal words.

That was the moment I decided to avoid Google/big tech for the rest of my life.

In 2021, I bought 4 4TB bad HDDs for $65 each. I decoded to buy a spare a couple weeks ago in case this shit decides not to stop and an hdd fails since most of my shit is on my NAS. It was $170 for the exact same model.

Me: looks outside Capitalism: still exists Me: “dam, it didn’t work”

Time to throw out the roku I never use.

I think it’s a fantastic idea, I just don’t think they’ll like where it leads.

Grayjay too.

For real though, I will move over to the other lane as soon as I safely can, some people don’t know how to wait for 5 fucking seconds.

True, but I would think developers should at least be following it with the code they’re actually working on.

Normally I would think of phishing as something that only the scum of the earth would do, but whoever wrote this is cool in my book.

I want to know if docker containers and kubernetes pods count as operating systems. If us plebs are forced to manually age verify, then Google should also be forced to have a human manually verify the age of the owner every time one of their pods spins up. I know it wont happen but imagine how hilarious it would be if we could hold them to that standard.
