How do you do that?
- Comment on Pleasant Politics: Politics without the jerks 4 months ago:
Really cool idea! I agree on the whole most people are incredibly nice and will go out of their way to explain their reasoning. But a small, loud group seems to crop up in political discussions. It’s interesting because it’s not always they they don’t know they’re being rude, but rather they know and are proud of it because of their beliefs.
- Comment on Authy got hacked, and 33 million user phone numbers were stolen 4 months ago:
They absolutely gained unauthorized access to the data. Their access was not intended or sanctioned. If it was intended to be public and accessible like it was, this wouldn’t be a story and they wouldn’t have locked down the access.
- Comment on Authy got hacked, and 33 million user phone numbers were stolen 4 months ago:
They absolutely exploited unintended functionality. If this was intended, they wouldn’t have added rate limiting and locked down the api after. It was clear to say this was certainly not an intended use of the api.
In a video game for example, if there is a an item that caused excessive lagging just by placing the item. Placing a lot of them with the intent to lag the game would be an exploit. They only used items sanctioned by the game, but for unintended reasons and they would likely be banned for exploitation.

They gained unauthorized access. From that guys definition that is a hack, no an exploit

You will always be able to spoof your MAC address if needed. I don’t see the standard ever changing enough to prevent that.

- Comment on Tesla Cybertruck May Have A Rust Problem 8 months ago:
Do specific cars actually make you think of other men’s cocks? I too think pavement princess trucks are a joke but I just don’t understand why other people seem to think of genitals when they see vehicles.
- Comment on A "Healthy Amount of Cheese" is always an Unhealthy Amount of Cheese. 8 months ago:
You asked how much was healthy, I gave an answer. Then you say add more? Lol what’s your point? You can eat an unhealthy amount of carrots. If you have self control issues maybe you shouldn’t be around cheese, is that the answer you want?
- Comment on A "Healthy Amount of Cheese" is always an Unhealthy Amount of Cheese. 8 months ago:
Depends on your nutritional goals and other food sources. If you eat nothing but fast food, you probably don’t need any extra fat or sodium. But if you eat pretty lean, eating some fat calories from cheese certainly isn’t a bad thing.

You can have anchovy free Worcestershire sauces. It’s actually a generic term for a class of fermented sauces, many have anchovies, but it is not a requirement
- Comment on X appears to be juicing MrBeast’s views to woo the YouTuber to the platform, pushing video upload into users’ feeds as an unlabeled ad 9 months ago:
That’s a fair point, however with a good bit if the videos recommend to me I highly doubt they are paying for exposure. Many don’t have the absolute basic skills when it comes to cinematography. Personally I enjoy watching random non professionals show their interests. But I don’t think they are paying to show their videos to people like me.

My YouTube recommendation page is full of channels with sub 100 subscribers. Because I actually watch them since I find those videos engaging for different reasons. I’d you actually watch small YouTube channels YouTube is more than happy to serve those channels to you.

How could a bird live for any amount of time with that much plastic in it? I would think that one pointy pink piece alone would be enough to rupture their stomach and kill it
- Comment on Apple And Google Are Sending Your Push Notifications to The Government 11 months ago:
I think they are saying the notifications are still sent. They are going from the app servers to the push servers. From the push servers they COULD go to the Gov and to your phone. Your have the notifications turned off so they don’t go to your phone. Doesn’t mean they don’t get sent elsewhere though
