Sounds like a good joke to be of either side on to me. No harm done.
to me this is an unacceptable boundary to cross. I would never be able to trust someone that does that.
Yeah, I sort of feel that way too but maybe also is a good lesson learned.
What’s the lesson here? That software is insecure? Or that you shouldn’t trust your friends? Sad.
All of the above, plus, maybe, don't let people see you put in your pin.
don't take security for granted. Be careful.
I guess the lesson I learned is you need to pay attention to security.
Is it because the phone is very intimate to you, or because of the implications?
because they could be viewing all their private communication/media on their device and that causes a lot of anxiety cause they won't confirm or deny if they have access.
Ugh, yeah, if this was not someone I know, the pictures, yikes !
what pictures?
It's basically the equivalent of someone in the 80s tapping your phone line.
Rather someone in the 80 changing the numbers on your phone book so that you dial a wrong number.
I think he will fess up eventually, but is sort of being a dick about it for sure.
I was hoping HN could give me ideas, but now he will probably read this on HN and then really give me a hard time about it.
Instead of freaking out about it, it would be more fun to do a similar joke to him. What's fair is fair.
Yeah, I sure want to, especially on April 1st.
Maybe I should do and Ask HN, how do I get back at my dickhead friend on April fools day :)
