I mean, it’s a legitimate concern. Google is bleeding so hard right now from Gen Z and especially Gen Alpha deciding to use ChatGPT first and foremost when asking questions that Google would’ve answered previously. Whether or not that mean

Right now you'd need a zero-day bootrom exploit to do something like this - still a possibility for the average high-level intelligence operative, but not the average white collar citizen. The proposal is making such a thing a feature.

Consider the possibility of an evil maid type attack before a device is setup for the first time, e.g. running near identical iOS or macOS but with spyware preloaded, or even just adware.

Things like maintaining a community’s cohesiveness (eg via restricting exterior cosmetic changes, requiring lawn maintenance, etc) are in the HOA contract in an effort to maintain/increase the community’s home values over time. And, of

Typically there is a special tax assessment district when inside city limits - for example, my property in Georgia inside an HOA has a city millage of 0.003, but the streets of the community were indeed deeded to the city. On the other hand

Personally I don’t see why you would want to delete these expired passes. For the longest time they haven’t shown up alongside active passes.

This is a lesson in capitalism. It’s so much more profitable to ignore small users bases when you can just tell them to “try switching to Chrome”. I think you’re wrong about Safari itself being the reason chrome isn’t a 90%+ market owner; r

Using a user account to do this is still considered risky since any automated API usage by a non-bot user is against TOS, and they have heuristics (maybe now ML-based heuristics) for banning accounts for 'things that "don't l

This is technically the case - I believe the existence of private channels is still sent to the client (eg. their snowflake IDs, which also reveal creation date) but the channel names are no longer sent as well.

E2EE is definitely only possible in DMs (there's no chance for servers/guilds), but the cat is out of the bag in terms of user expectations on how DMs work. So many users expect their entire decade+ history of DM contents, attachm

User bots (including hacked clients) are officially banned by the TOS, which addresses that concern. The only acceptable API usage is via bots that server owners choose to invite. And while it might be legally OK (if the bot's own TOS

Anubis is new, so there may not have been foresight to implement a solver to get around it. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the botnet actor is using vended software, not making it themselves to where they could quickly implement a so

It hardly ever raises to the level of crime. The issue is that the IRS has 7 years to audit a tax return, and since taxes are due at the time you receive the income, the interest is backdated if you happen to underpay taxes and it compounds
