Trying to stop kids from using drugs on school property is “stupid shit”?

It’s not surveilling children, it’s surveilling the byproducts of vaping.
…so kids can freely vape in school buildings during school hours?
people share phone numbers to people they personally know.
This is about Signal having the phone numbers. I don’t think anybody “personally knows” Signal…
Yup. My bank was even “translating” passwords to PINs behind the scene specifically so your password for the website would be the same as your password on the telephone.
I was wondering why 1 year was in the red category, but then I realized that that time could decrease quite a bit over time with technological advances
EDIT: typo
Figured as much. I thought that was just “standard”, but even “standard” can be a lot to expect lol
Passwords can be leaked, mostly by bad security on server side.
Wouldn’t this be solved by storing only hashed passwords?
That sounds legit. If your GPS location is on at all times (assuming this is on your cellphone), then they’ve got enough geolocation data to associate you to your partner.
And if it’s off? Your SIM card is acting like a GPS (though a less-accurate one than your phone). Do you trust your mobile service provider to not be selling this data? (And this would be even more of a factor if they’re also your partner’s service provider, and/or your ISP)
Exactly. They definitely could, but there’d also be potential legal issues, and it’d just be much more expensive to analyze sound data.
If it’s done on each device, then their battery power would suck, and performance would decline. Sure, they could do that, but I imagine most phone manufacturers would rather sell more phones and make money from app companies (Meta, Google) who pay to have their apps pre-installed on the phone. Or Samsung and Apple, who have their own ecosystems for mining data like Google does.
If they were instead just uploading audio to central servers (which could mitigate legal issues due to “anonymizing” the data), then they’d be paying for the computational power to analyze all that data.
Again, completely possible, and likely in use with things like Alexa and Google Home. But on our phones (and laptops for that matter), they have so many other cheaper ways to get probably the same quality of information.
I think “the microphones are listening when they’re off” is still a conspiracy theory at this point. It’s not really needed to get enough information.
Are there any ways that Google could find out that you’re interacting together?
I’m not saying these are all ways that Google uses, but I believe that each of them are ways that Google would be able to associate that language to your partner.
Who would have thought.
It’s impossible to “of think”.
The guy who’s likely to become Canada’s next PM wants to do this too.
That’s exactly what an LLM would say…
Not anymore, they tampered with it
… you never actually turn off your phone, huh? Haha
I didn’t assign blame to the website, or to anything. I just said that viewing sexual material can be harmful to children.
I’m pretty sure that viewing pornography can be harmful to young children.
Not all “minors”, but some people forget that the phrase includes both 17 year olds and 4 year olds in some states…
I have to wonder if live service games count as patient games. They are definitely older games, but they’re often kept “fresh” frequently, and occasionally are very different from how they were 6 years prior… almost to.the point that it could’ve passed for a sequel in earlier times.
Of course, the article isn’t just about these kinds of games, but the thought still came to me.
Your comment reminded me of the time I tried to connect my new phone number to my accounts, but had trouble with Amazon and AirBnB because the last guy with the number forgot to update his accounts.
Amazon told me it’d have to delete the old account before allowing me to connect my new number.
That’s not even the worst one though.
AirBnB gave me no other option than to log in to the other guy’s account through nothing but the SMS recovery code (which came to my phone since I have his old number now), starting the account recovery process from within his account, and then removing the phone number from his account.
After logging out (and closing the private browsing window and turning off the VPN), I was then able to link the phone number to my account. (And yes, I tried everything else – from within my account, it told me “Sorry, this number is linked to another account”)
Never had a problem with AirBnB or the new phone number since then though!
