I'm not sure if this counts as spying but in UK they are allowed to monitor people to quite a large extent if I got this right. I think refusing to decrypt your device when requested is also punishable.

Aaah.. I see what you mean. Tbh that sounds reasonable as long as it's applied without political pressure and such.

:) I didn't know that. I though most/all countries in the west have an equivalent.

In UK we have something like that(can't remember the name of it though). The courts can forbid all parties involved to have any public discussions, They can ban topics from reaching the public through normal mass media means. To make it even worse, they can prevent individuals to do this sort of thing too. Prison time and/or fines if you don't comply. Democracy at it's finest.

You can't(as a single company/entity) find a work around something like this. Proton had a court order from the country they operate from. You can fight court orders but you can't usually disclose them(gag orders and all).

The only reasonable way(i can think of) to make it a bit harder for this to happen would be to have a second(and maybe a 3rd)unrelated entity/company in an adversarial country that you can use as a relay. In this case use it as a VPN service to access the e-mail on Proton servers.

Anonimity is inconvenient these days... and next to impossible if any govt agency is out to get you. The only way you can make it hard(er) is to spread over multiple jurisdiction and rotate accounts/discard them after a few uses. A system similar to one time pads of sorts combined with PGP.

Encode it in the DNA of a few million tardigrades. Spread them all over the planet.

Off topic: For some reason, when I read "pip install" my mind drifted off to "apt-get install kung fu" and I started grinning like an idiot.

You know... I'm starting to think you are correct to be entirely honest. If anonimity is banned we can actually see who is part of those twitter cancel mobs and actually fine and imprison those harassing other people and send death threats.

50% /s

I'm 100% against it tbh. There are people that would be dead without it(just in case anyone missed the sarcasm)

Not sure how to describe it but I see it like more of a approach and limitations or tech problem.

1- can't study it,in details, live with 0 risk of damage

2- can't test injecting data without risk of damage

3- the live data that we can extract/record (while monitoring input) with current tech is limited. I'm thinking that we're still at the stage comparable with using a multimeter to test a 8 layer pcb, with no schematics, while it's powered on.

I, personally, think science will get there at some point, but we'll need some serious tech advancements to do that.

Let's hope it doesn't work like it did with The Met.

"deceit, falsehood or other fraudulent means" => editing the URL is neither of those. Forgig a cookie for access is, just like randomly trying passwords and usernames.

The closest real life example I can think of would be along the lines of: - your car is in a public parking space and someone look inside vs - the same car is in the garrage and someone breaks the door to look inside your car

The only problem I noticed a few times on hn is that some comments go dead even if they are right on the money. Edgy or not is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things if the content of the comment is correct. I didn't end up down the oblivion hole just yet but I did see some that had good points... just not mainstream. Like round earth and trepanning used to be. One is mainstream while the other is now gone and considered barbaric. Some things take time to prove... or dissapear.

On the positive side: You don't have to content with baiting and such things for long.

In a world where cash is starting to dissapear, payment processors and banking in general should be regulated and treated just like some sort of utility company (Ex: Water, electricity).

Advertising is a different beast altogether. Being able to to exchanges (money for goods, etc) is something quite a basic right(If I can call it that). That doesn't apply to making money though. I don't think it's normal in any way to force anyone to conduct business with someone they don't want to unless is a basic necessity in that particular day and age.

Wouldn't a % taxation at source be more effective in retaining money inside the borders?

Tbh some people here do have a decent point. A private individual can't deduct rent and such. One could argue those are neede to keep working.

That is exactly how it works even with the extension. By building what ammounts to a GUI to a glorified database you are deciding on the interaction level with the database.

The fact that the extensions helps automate some tasks if a different matter. If it were an industrial level scraper that scraped anything public... that could be considered malicious and can cause tangible financial losses.

This extension on the other hand... You can't really justify sending a threat like that. You can come up with excuses but that is it.

I was actually waiting for 12 rollout before installing TWRP on the 9Pro. Now I'm not so sure it's a good idea... I'm having trouble as is is making changes to system apps and Priv-App, don't need more headaches.

Looks like you are right dude. Might as well start getting used to Lineage. I'll miss the oneplus camera apps though.

I'll chip in if it contains the unregistered ones in there.

I'd trade my flat for all transactions involving everyone in the medical field (in UK) for the past 4 years(including relatives and friends). If only location data is available... I'll do with that.

"group of people we (as humanity) want to privilege to offset the years of discrimination" -->the humanity part is the part that have a problem with tbh (explanation below)

The "(as humanity)" should be removed. A protected class in US/UK might of been the oppresor in other countries. Example below.

Romania and Bulgaria have been invaded countless times by the ottoman empire for hundreds of years. Why would a romanian or bulgarian even consider protecting them(muslims)? Black were part of that same force(and high ranking officials) that pillaged the 2 countries. Why would eastern europeans even owe them anything?

EDIT: As an eastern European I don't ower any of them any protection. If anything those 2 classes owe us according to historical facts.

Dude. I'm not debating if it's good or or bad.

I personally had the vaccine because I have high blood pressure and I'm borderline diabetic at 40+. I made my call and took my chances. Others should have the right to make their own call.

I'm saying that "no downside" and those sort of claims are outright false and people should have the right to choose for themselves wherether the risks are worth the reward.

Tell this Lisa Shaw's family that there are no downsides: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-58330796

"Literally" it's the trailer that killed them.

This is recent and not peer reviewed:https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.24.21262415v...

And here's some news from Israel, one of the most vaccinated countries: https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/309762

I'd say that is pretty clear cut when looking at the numbers from Israel.

I might be wrong but maybe the point is that it's not proven safe long term.

While a good majority(like me) had it and it worked out well for us (risk vs reward wise), some might not be so lucky and it pissed me off that some people are like frogs in a well with a very narrow viewpoint.

It's now proven that it can cause death. 1 death is more than enough to justify not having it. Neither you or anyone have the right to force people to take that risk for the benefit of others. I only took it because I covered all most my bases and my chances of survival in case of Covid were pretty bad.

It wouldn't be the first time that problems appear after a long time and take ages to be proven. The most extreme example of that that I think is thalidomide.

EDIT: If you are going to reduce it to a game of numbers. Some risk side effects so that the majority goes on with their lives, then... when communists were leveling a church and the houses of 500 people could use the same justification since they were building blocks of flats for 10000 people on that area it was justified?

when you're in the situation where you need a kidney replacement uncomfortable positions are the least of your worries.

Like you said: I'm amazed by the fact that were close to having a replacement. Not sure how many will be able to afford it but still. It's one step forward.

In RL you'd be able to catch and identify the thief. Digital... a bit different I'm afraid. Online - you'll struggle to prove with 100% certainty who did it. Anything else apart from proof is propaganda/assumptions. Not facts.

What makes you think those accounts were really from China and not from Australia, Taiwan or even Iran? Anyone can do it with a tiny botnet/a few ssh's into consumer routers or by buying less popular browser addons.

My point was this is not news worthy by any measure. It's just bashing for the sake of bashing. If you want to make it news worthy, tell me you indentified 1k or 2 of aged twitter accounts that spwe propaganda. Not 1 week accounts.

This is absurd. 26 accounts? 70 accounts? This is script kiddie level.

You can buy accounts for pennies(literally) linked to @outlook.com on blackhat marketing websites. You can also buy the tools to administer all of them.

£500 (estimate) would get you from black hat marketeers:

- 200 twitter accounts (new) - you can also get aged ones but more expensive - bot

- around 25-100 proxies to rotate when posting (depending on quality 25 would suffice)

- someone to do the work for you (a part time PA)

- a win VPS to run it all

I do have times when I look at my phone and think about the first "computer" I touched. I'm still amazed sometimes of how tech changed since I was 6-7 years old(talking almost 40 years)

I'm no fan of lab growing anything because or banning people from raising animals or having food plots because those that make the food make the rules. That being said... I wouldn't be suprised to see, in 2-3 decades, something taking off in that regard. All it takes is one stroke of genius and a ton of elbow grease to change it all.

I always carry it with me but usually they have some sort of screen casting tech around already. I do make it clear from the planning stages that they need to provide either one of 3 video inputs to their selected system (HDMI/DP/Screen casting) or they need to provide the computer that I can use to remote into my 13"(this is what they usually choose if they have older screens or projectors).

For this exact reason I carry a projector(with a mira/chromecast dongle in my car whenever I have to train engineers at our partners offices).

You can have IoT devices with LAN only. IoT doesn't mean that it needs to understand DNS and access WAN. For that you can have IoT gateways with proper security in place.

The problem with "part of the device lifecycle" is planned obsolescence. I would be up for it though if manufacturers are forced to release the source code and all service information they have the same day they drop support/updates for a product.

Edit: I don't think you realise how many applications of lot of "IoT" things have where they are only on a LAN with 0 internet access. Internet access should be optional, not mandatory.

I would consider IOT trash any IOT device that demands/requires an internet connection to be functional. The same would apply to any smartphone that requires a sim on first start (or after factory reset). Embedded devices should not even be alowed online.

Automatic updates I have mixed feelings about because they (sometimes) have a bad habit of breaking things and give me a ton of hassle.

I would also add: on a much higher surface area. Something like 20000sqm to allow the species(mice in this case) to form different groups/tribes
