90% angry nerds fighting each other over what answer is “right”

It’s only a crime if YOU do it citizen.

Corporate law breaking is just a cost of business.

Now stay in line peon.

As an asshole that deserves the highest price hahahaha

Gotta pay the bills somehow, and I’m just happy they care about privacy.

It’s like the worst case of broken window fallacy lol.

He’s just made himself poorer.

Like the money would have done more good if he’d donated it.

But I guess that his actual goal was to get attention, since that’s the currency of the day…… and the worst part is that it was amazingly successful.

Like he couldn’t have spent a better $4000 anywhere to get this kind of publicity.

Someone is running a smear campaign on Firefox, and I don’t know why.

The tech doesn’t track you, it’s very clear on that but the misinformation about it keeps popping up everywhere.

Easy, none of their systems were designed to track illnesses, they were designed to track “people with different skin colour than me”

Obviously I’m exaggerating, but the way they would follow a person likely wasn’t conducive to tracking the illness. Even if it wasgood for Covid, they’ve spent 20 years keeping quiet about it so that you don’t realize how much info they have on you and exactly how creepy it is.

They’re not about to advertise the depths they can go to just because your grandma and a few hundred thousand other people are going to die.

I’m very sorry that your life feels so out of control that you need to lash out so quickly with condescension.

Did you want to talk? Or perhaps explain where you think I misunderstand?

And if you “device type” that…. You’ll see a router likely.

Yes.

And they would ask “why is there a router on your network”

Probably just MAC address lookups, but also possibly something weird like “ttl “ stats

It’s a rarity afaik, I’ve only heard of one or two cases, but a concerning report to me personally.

Though I’m Canadian so it’ll be a few years before it filters here (assuming it catches on)

Yeah, they can still tell that you’re Nat behind another router.

But they don’t like it because it gives them less access to your network and more possibility for something to be wrong

Some isp’s have been detecting the second router and giving people shit for it.

But I’m with you on that, I don’t trust the isp’s backdoored router-modem. Hard pass.

Yes, but since you deposited a fake check, they’ll freeze all your bank accounts while they audit and investigate you and everything you do.

It’s very unpleasant.

Here, let me pay you $700 for this item that’s worth $500 and you can just send me the extra $200 difference. I have to do it this way because it’s your father’s, brother’s, nephew’s, cousin’s, former roommate’s will and I’m just signing the whole check off to you.

Meanwhile the original check is fake and now you’ve lost the original item AND $200 and the bank is investigating you, and not them.

The greatest thing about Bill was Melinda.

I always give “companyname@personaldomain.com”

That way datasets are harder to correlate and I know who leaked 😝

Nope, the ai will continue to get better, and soon spotting the fakes will be nearly impossible.

You don’t get to being the CEO of a large company without being an asshole of one type or another, and outrage drives views and clicks.

Soooo…. You get what you incentivise.
