How an Earth are you being exploited by putting a copy of your bank card on your phone?

“You” in that context was the entity pushing the feature. I’m not sure what point you think you’re making about Facebook tracking tbh, but I don’t use Facebook so you’re asking the wrong person; to claim I am mindlessly defending dark patte

Apologies for the implication you’re stupid, I didn’t really mean that and it was uncalled for at any rate. I don’t disagree regards dark patterns, your example just felt a bit irrelevant to the specific topic being discussed (Amazon pushin

Yeah you’re right, there was no need for the last bit. I’m still struggling to see the relevance though, trying to get me to buy things is very different from trying to get me to use a feature you profit from (in my opinion). You also have

How is that even relevant? Your phone was trying to onboard you to a _free to use_ feature. If you can’t see the difference here, then I suspect there probably was a button labelled “fuck off” and you didn’t see that either. Honestly.

Lithium-ion battery fires are self-oxidising, so I don’t think a blanket would have much effect.

Have you tried Former2? I think it does what you’re asking for. https://former2.com/

That Roman’s wealth is (still) effectively infinite, I thought OP’s point was very clear.

Could their employers not just pay them a reasonable wage? I’m already likely to be overpaying for the food/drinks being served which is supposed to cover the business overheads, if it doesn’t you have a failing business. I don’t see h

I assume it wasn’t your intention, but I read this comment as very harsh on the author. I, too, remember the 90s and I think calling OP a script kiddie was somewhat uncalled for. I don’t work in security, but I’ve always been very intrigued

How many 20 year old PCs are 64bit? AMD didn't introduce Athlon 64 until 2003 and good luck running IA-64 with anything resembling a modern OS.

Of a similar vein, I can heartily recommend the book How to Manage Your Slaves by Marcus Sidonius Falx. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Manage-Slaves-Marcus-Sidonius-Trilo...

Isn’t the point of “polite notice” that it looks very much like “police notice” when glancing quickly? That is certainly how it is abused by horse riders on the road around here.

I’d be curious to see this, could you link to some examples? Cheers.

Data not linked to you Identifiers: Device ID Usage Data: Product Interaction Diagnostics: Crash Data Performance Data I don’t see anything untoward here. Can you provide evidence to explicitly support your claim or not?

It wouldn’t make any difference in this instance, all the computational stuff still happens. I just took a long exposure on my 12 Pro and purposely moved the camera around a bit and my phone produced a sharp RAW image.

I too am surprised to hear this. GP can you point to said spyware in the GitHub repo? https://github.com/home-assistant/iOS If not I’ll have to go with Christopher Hitchens on this one.

Thanks for the Solovair mention, the Mrs is currently going through the process of buying Docs (online, so stacks of boots in the hall) and I think I've convinced her to give them a go. I do enjoy a well-made boot.

I received a C&D from Facebook many moons ago. I was a young man and absolutely shit myself, to the extent that I don’t even have the source code anymore. All I did was publish some CSS to make Facebook look a little less shitty.

If you use a screwdriver or similar to open the socket covers (shove the screwdriver into the earth socket) then you can indeed use a CEE 7/7 in a UK socket.

To drive the point home: you can’t have your cash until you have taken the card… I really do feel this is better in every way.

In the UK (and most of Europe afaik) the card is ejected immediately before the cash; the ejecting of the card indicates your authenticated session has ended.
