A secondary device can’t be identified by kernel level anti-cheat either. If you have a standalone device that identifies as a USB keyboard and mouse and then generates inputs that give you a 100% headshot count, there’s nothing you could detect through the kernel, since all it detects are keystrokes and clicks.

Nah that was Windows XP, where the hard drive was not encrypted by default, and the password was stored in a hashed file on the computer itself, freely accessible via any boot stick. Actually cracking it still took some time (below 7 characters a few minutes, 7 about 1h, 8 chars up to 24h, longer… LONG). But if it was a common word, then a dictionary attack with a long enough word list (most word lists have like 400k words or so) would get it in seconds either.

The funny thing with Windows XP was that since none of the data was encrypted, you could simply delete the password hash and set a flag in the registry and you would boot right into Windows with no password at all, and were then prompted to set a new password. That didn’t work since Windows 7 anymore.

You can buy a hardware keystroke recorder for a few bucks. Just plug it between keyboard and computer and it logs all inputs. Once they have the boot password (and maybe a bunch of others), installing malware and exfiltrating data is pretty straightforward. Doesn’t require a lick of IT knowledge either.

Bit more challenging on a laptop without external keyboard, but there are hardware solutions as well, though they’d require tinkering with your device.

Phones are harder to gain access to. Honestly if I wanted to get into your phone, I’d probably try to set up hidden cameras in spots where you are likely to enter your PIN (bed, toilet) somewhere under the ceiling and angled straight down. I’d probably try to switch the phone off as well any chance I got (long press the start button) so that you’d be forced to boot up and enter the PIN at any given opportunity to max my chances.

Actually hacking secure boot / accessing data from encrypted drives is beyond casual hackers, unless you don’t regularly update your devices and there are some active exploits published.

But seriously, low effort password sniffing is still the biggest vulnerability out there.

Could be beneficial for your career, but your colleagues might hate you, really depends on the company dynamics (and maybe size). If you actually like hanging out with him, don’t kiss ass and expect any kind of reward and just be yourself, personally I don’t see any harm.

They are adults, let them figure it our for themselves.

Age is just a number. Who cares.

Source? Never heard of that. German sources are fine as well.

If I don’t want something, I give nothing. Most fundraisers are pure extortion, and I can’t be bothered to check if something is legit or lining someone’s pocket. “No” is a full sentence.

Yep, agree. Heat Signature was also fun, but getting rather repetitive.

Tactical Breach Wizards

There was a withdrawal of almost 1M in 2023, and the company’s entire equity is basically cash. What you don’t find in the balance sheet are salaries paid, which would be to himself alone. The 22k in earnings from investments is merely interest on top.

Sync for reddit grossed over 2 million British pounds - and that’s current account balances, I didn’t check withdrawals over time. See for yourself, company filings for UK Ltd.'s are public.

So you might consider sync for Lemmy a passion project since it’s not exactly cashing in on the same level, no doubt, but it’s a far cry from a lone nerd trying to make ends meet.

She absolutely is able to consent. That’s what the OP means with ‘puritanical’, I guess. In the majority of countries worldwide the age of consent is 16; the US are one of the minority countries where it’s 18.

Some apps offer a keyword filter.

Not sure that’s officially been diagnosed, but he sure acts like it.

Unfortunately they use some random font to display the temperature in the toolbar that is not the system font and can’t be changed. Whatever they are using is larger than the clock font and distorts the appearance.

Here it’s side by side with Today Weather.

The original app (geometric weather) as much better, but they stopped updating it, hence the breezy fork came to be. If only they didn’t mess with the fonts, I would have loved to use it.

I’d consider myself liberal, but I embrace some traits considered leftist in some areas (universal healthcare, free education) and right in others (restrict immigration based on key economic and educational indicators, deport criminals).

I can’t switch to Linux due to software requirements for work. On my personal computer I’m using Xubuntu for well over a decade, I didn’t like the unity window manager of Ubuntu. I heard they changed to something else by now, but I can’t be bothered to switch.

Yeah what I also saw in the terms was that they reserve the right to sell their company without informing users other than through an update in the terms & conditions, and based on play store reviews, they terminate lifetime accounts if they find that you upload copyright protected files, even if you don’t share them with anyone.

Indexing my stuff and comparing it against external databases is a big no no for me.

So far I’m quite happy with sync.com, been using them for well over a decade. Data is fully encrypted during upload, so no matter if the server is ever breached, they wouldn’t get anything useful out of it.

I also got my own nextcloud instance up and running, but it’s with a shared hosting provider where I don’t feel as secure.
