Best you can do is auto wipe after 10 failed pins.

I don’t understand why they don’t just migrate .io into a non-country code domain. Hell, they could auction it off to anybody (company, country, or person) who wants it bad enough. Let it live alongside the other custom domains.

We’re kind of seeing that with those private jet trackers. But that’s not changing anything except getting those accounts banned from social media.

This should be illegal. There is absolutely no good reason this should be available to anybody. It should also be considered unconstitutional; if one of those dots is a person, whether you directly know who the person is or not, it should violate the right to privacy and the right of illegal search and seizure — no questions asked.

Because right now’s political climate is about how abortion is being billed en masse as murder, and people are having to go to other states to get abortions (even for miscarriages), so the states that bill abortion as murder want to be able to prosecute the women. So there are a lot of fears that states will be tracking women through tools like this, and it turns out the fearful were correct.

Let’s bring back those animated gifs (mailbox and under construction) from the 90s. That’ll get everyone riled back up again.

Hm. I wonder if I could get those lenses in my prescription. That would be neat.

Now would be a good time to start a line of headwear that has infrared leds to shield your face from cameras.

That’s an excellent question. Unfortunately I do not have an answer. But I believe it’s worth discussing some means of redundancy for the IA; even if it’s as simple as rsync to other hosts.

Maybe it’s time to federate the IA.

“transparent metal” that breaks if it gets too hot, gets wiped with a microfiber cloth, or tapped by a wedding ring… 😂

I want to feel bad for cyber truck owners, but at the same time these problems are not new and not unknown. So if you know that something is known to have problems, and you still buy it, don’t be so shocked that it has problems for you too.

It was only a matter of time before insurance companies did something. I mean is it really that surprising that a company known for not wanting to pay out money if they can avoid it would want to not insure a rolling money pit?

You know what else is overrun? Paywalls or other “requirements” where I need to signup and/or pay to access something that should be free.

Don’t get me started on those fullscreen ad interstitials that force me to watch an ad I’m not interested in before I can continue either.

Let’s face it, the Internet today fucking sucks and it’s partly to do with these so-called news outlets like the Atlantic.

I miss the days when barely anyone heard of the web. Sure, it wasn’t as feature rich, but then again, those features are overly abused in the name of capitalism anyway. It’s like those strip malls that have nothing but shitty restaurants, nail salons, and tax preparers. Gone are the days of fun stores like hobby shops, comic book stores, local mom & pop toy stores.

They just sucked the fun out of it all. 😡

Could you mean network radios?

Whatever it is, I’ll bet it’ll be 3 nanometers thinner than last year’s model!

The rights of children, especially privacy, has never been a priority for anybody except the children themselves.

I’m not terribly surprised by the mixed reactions to this comment. As an Apple person who owns several Apple products, I can confidently agree with @Random_Character_A@lemmy.world.

A lot of (not all) are elitists and cannot fathom that the quality of Apple products has significantly declined, while the pricing has significantly risen. It’s sad too, because Apple is supposed to mean top-shelf in quality.

Apple urges developers to not use DeviceCheck for anything beyond basic device verification, and if you’re a developer that’s also misusing it, then you should definitely cease that—there are probably more reliable ways to check whether it’s the same user trying to access an account from a device or not.

Sounds reasonable…

But then, why would you use it?

For example, you might use this data to identify devices that have already taken advantage of a promotional offer that you provide, or to flag a device that you’ve determined to be fraudulent.

Oh, ok. Wait, what? But…

As an American there are several factors that weigh in situations like this:

1. Legal language is a foreign and difficult language to grasp and understand. That’s why lawyers go to school for as long as they do. Yet, citizens are expected to understand it as if it were plain English. So a lot of us don’t read or understand what we’re agreeing to; especially when it’s 10-s of pages long.
2. Out of sight and out of mind. Unless it happens to us personally, there really is no incentive for us to do anything about it. It’s as, I know, but we’ve been cultivated as a culture with its head in the sand. Hell, even our constitutional right to peaceful protest has been all but stripped away from us.
3. Financial barriers. It is expensive to fight legal battles, most especially against huge corporations like Disney. A lot of lawyers demand a lot of money up front, and getting our day in court to take years. Corporations can afford to stall. Is plebs can barely afford the initial consult. So unless it’s something considered “in the bag”, it’s probably not financially feasible.

I was about to comment that this is going to be appealed, and unless something changes with SCOTUS, my money is in it being reversed to some degree.

Not entirely true.
