If it were a professional operation, the first thing you would do would be to not give away the source of where the traffic is coming from and route the traffic through an intermediary.
In this case, the EU does have consequences for data breaches where proper protocols are not followed.
Additionally, this is not private information .. most anyone can look this information up. ID numbers are not confidential information like SSNs are treated in the US.. they are just a number to tell person A from person B. You give this number to everyone without thinking about it because it's how every company you interact with identifies you.
In this case a rogue company, or compromised company, used their access to contact the central database to download everyone's information.
In my country we essentially use the same system, except for we still allow companies to download the whole database if they want to instead of making individual queries.
In this case the access to their system was unauthorized, and under GDPR data breaches have to be reported within 72 hours. Companies can't make the decision on their own that it's not a big deal.
When on a random CLI though my personal preference though is still to use telnet as the commands are easily memorized and there’s something more natural about typing the email out and then sending it.
At the end of the day it is still making a best guess at what the user wants based on data it has seen before.
It still requires someone smarter than the output to be able to evaluate if the result is any good, or just hand waving.
Leave a message in the pull request that if they want to argue their case for a pull request they can send a message through a communication channel of your choice, and say that anyone sending a message with AI generated text, even to help with language and grammar will be banned.
I don't get why if i'm paying multiple thousands of dollars for a phone that they still bundle what I consider spyware and give the user no option to uninstall it.
On my last Samsung I went into the settings and disabled all of the apps that I couldn't uninstall .. and when I checked the settings like 6-8 months later, those apps were still disabled, but in the meantime they had installed a few more facebook authored background apps without my permission.
I will not be going back until they stop this.
Whatever Apple did to block access to the cache does not negate the fact that these notification messages are still being sent in plaintext through Apple and Google’s servers.
It’s hard to imagine that Apple/Google couldn’t just be compelled to hand this information over if ordered by a court and wouldn’t need your phone at all.
And this loophole possibly only hinges on the fact that most law enforcement maybe never realized this was something they could ask for.
Or perhaps this is happening and the public just doesn’t know it yet.
This is a simple supply and demand curve.
Higher demand means the price goes up .. this has been true of things since before SaaS and before computers
A 6% overlap is hardly unifying.
The few Trump supporters I know think the whole thing is fake.
Most notifications are sent by backend servers straight to Apple/Google
These devices came out in 2007-2012
14-19 years is a respectable lifetime for a handheld electronic device.
(Yes, that David Lynch)
There is also tm.org which is a worldwide organization offering courses in most countries.
Technology changes at a fast pace .. so new questions would get asked, and then closed by moderators and pointed to similar questions that might be 5 or 6 years old and no longer relevant.. essentially ending the discussion on many topics and actively preventing progress in certain areas.
SpaceX made 8 billion in profit last year and xAI is losing 1B per month.
The whole IPO is convincing people that datacenters in space that are orders of magnitude more expensive than ones on earth is a financially viable business model and that tens of millions of people that already have internet are going to give up fiber for starlink.
It’s FSD and robotaxis x100
They are creating countless customers for life.
Yes I understand that GPS still works in airplane mode, but the app should not have my location made available to it when I am not using it
You might not feel it right away, but the closer you are to these things, the more your health is going to suffer over time.
A million dollars for a single bet is extremely high stakes.
Find servers that are used by people in your desired audience and there is usually an appropriate channel to post in.
Let people know what you are doing and what you are looking for and interested parties will message you.
If you're interested in digging into the people that were doing this, they had a website dedicated to everyone telling their stories of how they went about their own individual journeys.
The website was called thepowerofpoop.com and looks like it's gone now, but is available on the wayback machine including individual articles and images.
I would go back to at least 2022 .. I think they possibly got in legal trouble at some point and started taking things down.
