  • Every time you enter a car there is a higher chance of “will I die during this trip” than when you enter a plane.

    Yes the “chance to survive a plane crash” is lower than the “chance to survive a car crash” but the chance to ever be in a plane crash is incredibly low, even when you factor in the number of cars vs number of planes etc.

    Old Testament god is not benevolent. They are based on ideals from a time where the natural thing to do after winning a war was to kill everyone of fighting age and take everyone else (especially the women) as slaves. Ever wonder how Moses’ people got to Egypt in the first place?

    Old testament god is a god of war and wrath. Killing only the Pharaohs would have been weakness.

    And the brain didn’t even know it was naming itself.

    The ancient Egyptians removed the brain before mummification because they considerd it to be basically useless. Later associations between motor control of muscles and the brain were discovered but it wasn’t until the development of modern neuroscience that the brain was considered to be the seat of awareness, self and intelligence.

    Client isolation doesn’t help. That is just the access point not routing traffic between connected devices. The problem with WiFi is it is a radio signal. Everybody in range can receive 100% of all communication on that network. Just by being in range the attacker can do passive sniffing. No wiretap needed like with cabled networks.

    WiFi is encryoed if it uses a password. So any public WiFi without a password can be sniffed by literally every device in range (no need to connect to the WiFi for sniffing). On public WiFi with a password, the radio signal is encrypted but everybody knows the encryption key. So everybody connected to the WiFi can still sniff the traffic of everybody else.

    That encryption is only on the WiFi level, so encrypted radio signals, not on the actually traffic level (like TLS/HTTPS etc).

    No, why would it? It will run code in the context of the current user which is absolutely enough to start a new process that will run in the background, download more code from a attacker server and allow remote access. The attacker will only have as much permissions as the user executing the code but that is enough to steal their files, run a keyloggers, steal their sessions for other websites etc.

    They can try to escalate to the admin user, but when targeting private victims, all the data that is worth stealing is available to the user and does not require admin privs.
