Really now, would you?
I was on the line, like, what do you want me to do?
Wake up 5 minutes earlier so that next time you won’t be late. OMG, how dare I even say that out loud
Nobody has cellphones in schools for hundreds of years and after a few years of having them it’s funny to see how all kids think that it’s impossible and a human rights violation to be without
For me it’s mostly how the body reacts to the bullet, the hands going up a little Ina reflex, but you can see he’s already lost control of his body. That part is always what gets me
commitmentslies from Microsoft
If you, for even a second, believe anything Microsoft tells you, you deserve whatever comes next
Teams is the absofuckinglutely worst
It’s the worst software product I’ve ever have been forced to use
I use it every day for years now because we don’t really have much of a choice, yet I haven’t had a single day where it actually worked as it would
Typically screen sharing is broken, the cam doesn’t work half the time, the first 5 minutes of every call and meet is always “can you hear me now?” because the fucking audio settings always get set wrong… sometimes it just dumps my browser in a loop that causesy entire computer to freeze, requiring a hard reboot, custom backgrounds never work
But all our customers use it because reasons, and it being a closed system, it leaves you with no option
Meanwhile Google meet (as evil as Google is now) just works. Zoom just works. Hell, the next cloud video calling system just works.

It doesn’t happen a lot that headlines make me vomit a little in my mouth but this one did
This is not a social media ban, this is limiting children’s access, something I agree with
Problem is that the responsibility for that is left with the providers, which is how we get to identification requirements for websites, which I vehemently disagree with
Do it, but do it differently
I just saw a post where grok was saying that the video of CK bring shot was a meme and that CK was perfectly fine
I mean of course they should integrate this into every system.in the US army
I’m looking forward to the Wikipedia article about that army that utterly destroyed itself with sheer stupidity
A hash is just a mathematical algorithm that generates a somewhat unique number from any input, and usually in such a way that the tiniest difference generates a completely different hash.
I can put a single letter in a hash, I can put the entire Bible in a hash, I can put the entire universe in a hash, the output is always the same amount of bytes.
For example, if I have a hash algorithm that generates a two letter hash, a-z, then the input “Lemmy” could give me “WK” while “Lemmx” (literally one bit difference in binary) could give me “AV”. If I put the Bible in there, I could get out “XX”, for example.
The same input always generates the same output, and another important tidbit: hashing is always one way, you can’t do it in reverse.
Also important, as you probably already noticed: the hash contains (usually, but not necessarily) much less information than the original input. This means that at some point, two different inputs can generate the same output, that’s called a collision.
If the entire world would use the same hash all the time, and users would all use the same password for every website, then all the hashes for all the websites would be the same.
Now, humans are humans, and most humans use a fairly limited set of passwords. Sole people try to be ingentilent by replacing “s” with “5”, thinking that computers won’t get that.
Then, somebody started compiling a list of all known passwords with all variations and put them in a table. Then they went over each password, and hashed it with a bunch of well known hashing algorithms. Those tables, called rainbow tables iirc, are super easy and fast lookup tables if you have a hash and want to see what password it could have been.
Now what can websites do to protect against this? They can “salt” the password by prefixing then with a random text string only known to the website. If I download the database of that website, all the hashes will now be different and I won’t be able to do the lookup anymore. Better even would be to also include the user id in there, making it even harder to decipher.
What can users do? Don’t use those “Kn0w13DgE” passwords, use a random string of characters. Use unique passwords for each site. Use a password manager which will do both for you so you won’t have to remember anything
That’d basically how these hash tables work, they have the account and hash and known password so you can do rapid lookups
I’m sure it does, but had they done their security right it likely wouldn’t have happened.
Yeah, 100% secure doesn’t exist but at the same time it’s always closed source companies like these that turn out to have horrible software security. Can’t say for sure of course, but at this point it’s a safe bet
That’s like arguing that if a bank takes my gold to put in a security deposit box but then puts that box open out in the street. Of course the bank would be responsible for the theft.
Hah! Amateurs… I XOR all my passwords twice like real hackers do.
Eh, sorry, no.
Yeah, it is extremely hard to make something impenetrable, but claiming blanket everyone will be hacked is nonsense too.
If a company does IT well it will very unlikely fall victim as they’ll be a very hard target and not worth the time and money.
When a company comes out with that they’ve been hacked you can bet dollars to donuts that they’ve neglected their IT department and infrastructure because the very vast majority of cases have shown that problem
I did get the point
I’m telling you that your point is wrong
Smart textiles may soon be able to control devices or monitor health steal your health information and sell it to insurance companies
Guaranteed
Ding ding ding
It’s just manufacturer managers going to the el cheapo solutions, which gets them the bonus they way, then the leave. Then it’s surprised Pikachu face time when the entire system stinks and is worthless
Financial and corporate mistakes are not crimes! How dare you, these are decent people, shame on you!
it can eliminate all crime by locking up all citizens
I gotta admit, that is a great idea!
No it wasn’t
First connections were between universities. Tim Berners-Lee at CERN then came up with web pages to easier share information
There was nothing capitalist about the internet back then
Sort of agree?
Yeah, guns must be banned completely in the US, fully agree, but phones in class too. Waiting with one for the other won’t make anything better
