000001010011100··on Netflix Password Sharing Is Illegal, UK Government Agency Says
Great, but if it is my account and I grant them access to use it, it is not unauthorised access.. I authorised it, it is my account.

Well it is actually, this tweet is advertising. Netflix is asserting that this is OK, saying the opposite somewhere else (EULA) means that this would be false advertising. Which IIRC would most likely get them in trouble with the FTC, and other bodies around the world who are there to protect consumers...

Judging by this response you don't seem to have many things that could or would take up your spare time.

Please, please please think about you comment when/if you ever have kids. I guarantee your perspective will have changed a great deal.

Except that in the past, Netflix has sent tweets saying things like "Love is sharing a password" [https://twitter.com/netflix/status/840276073040371712] ...

That tweet, in my not-in-any-way-legal-opinion says that Netflix allows password sharing.

As such, it is not a clear cut example of unauthorised access.

My favourite too. I wish I had the brain space and the time :(
000001010011100··on Ask HN: Where are the simple Git GUIs?
I use gitui. Its a TUI written in rust and it is great. I mainly use it for looking at the gitlog, committing, and pushing.

If I recall correctly this is exactly how the 3DS was hacked... Nintendo locked down the os userspace to not have access to certain parts of memory... the GPU however had DMA and access to all ram... there is a Chaos Communications Congress talk about it. Interesting stuff.
