Think about the Pentium versions of the Celeron, too. XP was their peak time.

Do it 2 days before highly anticipated mod drops

ursakhiin , 2 months ago to Memes in was this not allowed before?

This interaction is so indicative of the reality of device fandom.

The Android user isn't storing information about the iPhone in their brain.

The iPhone user is responding like everybody knows everything about iPhone features and it was dumb of the android user to not know this thing.

Dude is effectively open challenging data-miners. Regardless of how people feel about them, this is going to motivate them to try.

Even if this one game limits them until things are found, the techniques likely won't work again as the data miners will then look at how they could have discovered the keys given knowledge of how to find them.

This is what is meant by it being an arms race.

ursakhiin , 4 months ago to Privacy in I am genuinely horrified to see how much data google collected from me

This is entirely speculation on your part.

Google has been more transparent that it happens. Apple is definitely collecting information on everything you do on their devices as well. It may be just as much info.

With their new pay later feature, you know they are at least collecting enough info to make financial decisions based on your profile.

They also collect health data using the watch.

They collect more than that in order to better understand how to keep people in their ecosystem. I'd wager the latter will about cover what OP was surprised by Google capturing.

Microsoft is another story. They are the most valuable tech company in the world right now due to AI. Which indicates that they are training some powerful AI on data that has been gathered in a number of places.

ursakhiin , 4 months ago to Memes in fries are another $8.00

Man. Maybe I'm lucky, but the five guys near me is 11.29 for a full sized cheeseburger with no sides. 12.69 is the most expensive one with bacon but I usually just do the little one which is 8.79.

They do charge an arm and a leg for the fries, though. Which I guess is to be expected since their measurements for a small fry is "all of them"

It's it possible the meme isn't as good as you think it is?

ursakhiin , 5 months ago to homelab in Use case(s) for owning a homelab?

Something I'm not seeing here is many people in the cyber and info security spaces will have a homelab capable of complex configurations in order to mimic enterprise environments for their research.

This could be as simple as a single VM or as complex as multiple segregated networks to try to traverse.

Unless your government id has a PO box on it you're likely not going to get the results you're looking for. As somebody else mentioned, that info is public record.
