You are a king! Thank you!!

That's great, thank you!

They disabled guest uploads on mobile long ago.

I've already seen tons of examples of people getting 3 day bans for the silliest of things, like calling someone an idiot.

They seem to be trying their hardest to turn away their main user base.

Instant assumption based on former pattern recognition.

Secureboot and FDE will still protect against this. The attack in the linked video just uses a flipper zero to mimic someone holding your phone and disabling protections then installing malware.

Even if the phone was on, unencrypted, and locked it would fail.

Edit: I initially misunderstood where you were coming from. Yes, today things are more secure, but if someone has unfettered physical access to your device they can just as easily install hardware that waits for you to login and then do these things or replace your charger plug (on a mobile device) or use a modified Bluetooth or USB proxy to keylog (on a full device). We're of course getting into high-level corporate attacks at that point if to be unnoticed (i.e. no popups, prompts, unexpected changes), so the average user is much more safe.

Security 101: Physical compromise is full compromise. If someone with the means has access to your unlocked iPhone, it's game over as quickly as Android. Remember JailbreakMe? That was the NiceGuy™ version of iPhone hacking. Now companies bill governments millions of dollars for iPhone jailbreaks and you can't even sideload apps after.

Probably as many as functional Tylenol users are injecting. In my meth days I knew of 2 people that injected. It was always smoked or, less commonly, taken orally.

> The couple is concerned for the people living with no services [...] Scaramella estimates he’s called or complained to different government agencies “30, 40” times.

That is an awful lot of concern!

Adderall will have me overly focusing on one thing if I take a bit too much. Meth will have me sitting at the computer for 8 hours knowing I have other obligations if I take a bit too much. I'm also much more distracted and likely to hop to new random things on meth, versus hyper focusing on one thing.

Plenty of functional Adderall users also, which is mixed amphetamine salts.

And although more rare, functional desoxyn users too, which is a methamphetamine pill typically used for narcolepsy and severe obesity.

> Substack is more than well-positioned to create a Twitter alternative.

Substack Notes has been released which is likely the cause behind the Twitter ban of substack links.

I haven't been this excited for potential commercials in a long time. The Navy has great commercials. Bring on the Chair Force!

Sure, without making an entire Medium article for you, which I don't have the time to do, I can't prove they weren't all shitposters, although there are some notable names, but that would be a lot of them.

I'll also direct you to the moderator list of the /r/lexfridman sub. No real people, none of them ever comment, and his subreddit is one of the most [deleted] I have ever experienced. If you look at reveddit, also check the comments. Quite telling. https://www.reveddit.com/v/lexfridman/?localSort=num_comment...

If your response is "maybe he just likes a heavily curated subreddit" then all I can say is keep coming back.

For being so open minded, he sure does have an incredibly tight grip on information control. This is coming from someone that used to think Lex was the cream of the crop.

There are countless examples of people being blocked by Lex for harmless tweets and extremely minor criticism. I only skimmed it but here's the Twitter search for 'lex Fridman blocked' https://twitter.com/search?q=lex%20Fridman%20blocked&src=typ...

I guess I have to look into it more, because I didn't think you could be sentenced for something you weren't convicted of.

How would you know where to define all the maps for all the buttons, links, text fields, etc on apps that need to be used?

He was never prosecuted for it. AFAIK they didn't even really bring it up.

You could show the user a picture of the page, but what about interaction? Seems like remote desktop would be far easier.

I see in another comment you said you cured your schizo-affective Bipolar disorder without medication. Do you mind if I ask how you did that? I have a condition (probable personality disorder with extreme anxiety) and I've been taking methadone to get off of opioids for about 4 years now, and I noticed that when I go down on my dose, my symptoms start to flare up. So in essence I'm keeping it in check with the same class of drugs I was using to self-medicate with. I have done DMT and it did do wonders for me (went from daily suicidal ideation to almost no suicidal thoughts in almost a decade) but I think there has to be more.

I'm confused. What are you on disability for? Surely not for using DMT...

I didn't know that, but it almost makes me trust their service more. While I don't share their views, I do think technologically capable extremists are probably who I'd most want behind a service that I use as a layer for anonymity and privacy from everyone including government agencies.

I think that was their subtle joke.

> For it to be lost completely in an attempted intercept is highly unusual, he notes.

My major question is, did the drone self-destruct to prevent retrieval and reverse engineering?

Perfect Privacy. VPN chaining, setting so your IP address always changes to be the one closest to the server, no logs (audited), stored in ramdisk, unlimited connections and bandwidth because they don't even know who's connecting.

Cons: it can be slow and have issues with disconnects sometimes.

I assume this will still work with uBlock Origin et al. activated?

> It's odd to me that they repo'ed rather than contacting him to say 'hey, there's a problem with your account.'

I imagine there's a lot more money to be made making someone pay for the fees and costs of a repo, than a phone call asking them to pay a few dollars. Although his friend could also be lying about the few dollars part.

One lab coat, one pair of jeans. Half core in lab coat pocket, half core in jeans pocket, to prevent the lab coat pockets from coming into contact if they were in opposite pockets of the lab coat.
