Back in the office days I'd see senior-tier engineers without uBlock, loading blatantly malicious ads and being redirected to fake flash player download pages while giving a presentation, Firefox message saying that their SSO password (saved in browser of course) is reused in other places and shows up in compromises, browser addons on work PCs that exfiltrate every URL visited and inject rubbish onto every page like Honey or Rakuten, signed into personal accounts on a work device...

It's kind of bizarre.

> If you're unfamiliar with an eSim, it allows you to use cellular plans without requiring a physical nano-SIM. (A SIM stands for security information management, and traditionally collects, monitors, and analyzes security-related data.)

What is this excuse of an "article" even? There is virtually nothing correct.

It's a cost per click ad for whatever Mymanu is (utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=VICE+Media) and is serving me fake 404s on subsequent visits??

Anything else here works fine out of the box: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210386

128GB M1 Pro is currently $625 at Costco, at least.

> but nobody in Australia has seen it before

More interestingly, "We contacted our offsiders at the UN Office of Drug Control, the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, as well as several well-positioned researchers in this space from around the world. None had seen the compound before."

what product are you advertising?

For free users, it's pretty much just G, MS, and GH (which is currently the only "tolerable" one, but there's no reason why it won't turn into a MS account in the future just like how they killed Minecraft)

> (Also, for whatever reason, I see a lot less angry shouting on TT, whereas twitter feels increasingly like the 2 minutes of hate from 1984)

There is an oddly specific reason for this: just about everything that might be controversial is likely filtered away into bubbles.

People will spell gay as gae, use accent marks and spaces, all sorts of things because not doing so will kill your upload pretty much. Tiktok will remove users from being featured if they look abnormal or ugly or low quality, afaik.

The only choices being MS or Google for auth, both with trigger happy defence mechanisms, is kind of annoying though.

I want to say some point they got sued for letting/"letting" certain app devs scrape everyone's data, crawl friend of friend data, which was then immediately sold/dumped/repurposed for abuse they locked down their API

Two wheelers already do this in many places. Gogoro is one option where you just pull up to a station, put your old battery in, and it'll tell you which fully charged one to pull out. If the station detects bad health or battery life it'll recycle/replace it the next time someone visits.

Can you even get the limited licence? It feels like they are comically hostile, ask for a huge amount of really unnecessary things, "KYC procedures", for a $1/day commodity software

It's more like loss of function given that it's less deadly and not more.

I have a M1 and M2 (Pro and Air, and non-M Pro and Air) and have never done this, and never seen it. I do not even have an Apple ID logged into any Mac laptop I have ever owned.

You do not need an account or an iPhone, this makes no sense to me. Was this purchased new from a retail store?

Some Visa cards do [1] now, https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FQyVcUHXEAMSKbt?format=jpg&name=... and can refuse authorisation if it's not sent.

Apple's statement was "to prevent the sharing of fraud prevention assessments with your payment card network, you may select another card". I removed my Visa cards from Apple Pay.

I see people eating off their hood fairly often. Or it's not even their car, who knows.

I'm assuming setup and onboarding is painfully manual because I can't imagine not being permanently banned from half the list of services for using a third party or coming from a "cloud" IP

AFAIK 10G is only Sonic native

I have never received checks with any bank account I have opened in my life. Are they even offered anymore?

the prevalent type of places that would hire traditional java/glassfish/websphere/etc are probably not posting on hn

if you were able to search taleo or something you'd probably go "huh there are almost no rust or ocaml jobs"

I usually ask the same (and whether they prefer tip in cash etc); I have not seen a single person say they would rather drive for uber. It's been nearly 100% toward lyft preference. I ride daily.

For person to person (not person to business), electronically, no, not really. ACH takes weeks too (yes I know your bank will credit you in advance temporarily)

There's a nonzero chance you will hit some kind of risk/fraud system based on amount too.

Wire is much better but frequently $50-100 per transaction as a fee.

did you go DIRECTLY to jetblue.com from a clean browser with ad blocking?

according to bbb reviews, cheapfareservice/skyflightcheap is one of those scam companies that purchase text ads for the keywords jetblue, delta, etc and put up their own site with the domain set to the right one in ad creation, and act as a middleman to rent seek

Samsung will return "contains banned word" if your email includes samsung

Ha. The more obscure the better, I guess. But you'd want some tooling to make it reasonable to handle.

I have a catchall and it's interesting what type of rubbish appears.

I have gotten phishing that pretends to be an AWS support case ticket reply about how my instances in us-east-whatever are about to be terminated due to a host node going out of commission sent to aws-iam-root-user@domain - a domain that has never used or touched AWS and a left hand side mailbox that has never been used once. If it's anything obvious it's probably made it onto some type of dictionary list.

If it's obviously-named, it might be brute forced. I have an alias (amazon@ and aws@) on my domain that I never used to sign up for Amazon and was never used at all, but it receives spam on a daily basis (and AWS phishing emails - it was never once used at either service).

I genuinely despise the people that make [1][2] for monetisation purposes and ad dumping. Intentionally torturing and starving small animals for likes. Fuck.

If you use any payment method on your Amazon account then it's auto linked and discounts apply.

Add slow scroll hijacking.

A politic-neutral version would be that having one company monopolise client to server connections across the internet is questionable and provides a single point of failure.
