I even have my phone upside down in my pocket so the charging port is facing up.

This is probably the difference, people who put their phone in with the port facing down in their pocket have lots of opportunity to pickup lint as the phone is going into the pocket on the way down, and then also as you’re moving, any lint collected in the bottom of your pocket can enter the port. Unless you have super baggy pants, debris won’t be randomly entering your pocket from the top and getting into the charging port if you have the phone upside down with the charging port facing up.

My friends missed a wedding ceremony because of this, showed up an hour late and were very confused. I guess people who live right next to a timezone border turn off the automatic updates on their phone?

Wait, you skinned it for hours but it wasn’t dead, and just walked off? Or it was dead and some animal took it while you weren’t looking?

Before Unicode adopted it in 2010, Gmail had added it in 2008 to their email client: https://medium.com/hackernoon/10th-anniversary-of-the-poop-emoji-aab16fcb5b08

All of these claims are easily able to be checked from the archived version of the site . It was not using home grown encryption algorithm.

The last version released was independently audited and “found no evidence of deliberate backdoors, or any severe design flaws that will make the software insecure in most instances”

I had never heard of the warrant canary for TrueCrypt, and quickly searching for news of the time, was unable to find anything to indicate that there was ever a mention of NSL on the website, so nothing to remove if they were served with a NSL.

My assumption has been that the author was pressured to add a backdoor or abandon the project since it was an issue for law enforcement. After TrueCrypt stopped releasing new versions, it was audited and there was no sign of any backdoor or flaw in the encryption. Now on device encryption is more common but so are cloud backups, and law enforcement has found that going after cloud backups is much easier to subpoena. Plus there is a more mature industry for law enforcement to provide tools tools to bypass encryption without the developer complying.

And the reason for calendars is because the reminder that an event is starting is usually sent as an email from Google, with the description that has spam links. We’ve been training people to look at the sender to gauge trustworthiness, and with a sender of google.com, people feel like they did due diligence and can trust the contents of the email.

Incase you need context like I did: Andrew stripped of ‘prince’ title and will move out of Royal Lodge

Wow this is so good. Love the judge in this case:

Proven had demanded a preliminary injunction that would stop McNally from sharing his videos while the case progressed, but Proven had issues right from the opening gavel:

LAWYER 1: Austin Nowacki on behalf of Proven industries.

THE COURT: I’m sorry. What is your name?

LAWYER 1: Austin Nowacki.

THE COURT: I thought you said Austin No Idea.

LAWYER 2: That’s Austin Nowacki.

THE COURT: All right.

When Proven’s lead lawyer introduced a colleague who would lead that morning’s arguments, the judge snapped, “Okay. Then you have a seat and let her speak.”

Still not sure what you’re talking about. What was the sensitive information stored on servers that got sold?

What is the context for the sensitive information being sold?

You’re going to go to cast iron hell for this

It just takes one time logging in without having VPN enabled for your account to be associated with a location. Their ad network probably filters out known VPN IPs, or IPs from countries where there are no ads to serve up, which might leave the only valid IP address associated with their account to be used.

It’s really a no win situation though if the boy complies. Newsmax will show footage of a game he plays in as evidence that boys are playing in girls sports, and the idiots who watch will believe it and support even worse politicians and laws.

I’d like to believe, but the source for the article is a random Medium article which claims there were leaked document, but the headline is clearly click bait. The medium post doesn’t go into any details about this, it just outlines some open source tools with “ai” to do basic tasks to run your infrastructure in AWS, not what any engineer working for AWS would actually be doing.

Is this a sauron riding a Kyurem from Pokemon?

I think with your example of “call mom” there’s some relationship thing in contacts you have to setup, even if the name of the contract is mom. I’m not sure how you tried with calling other people, but I’d suggest changing the contact name for your mom to a very specific name, and then try using that name and saying something like “Call Mary Elizabeth Jones” and see if that works.

Also I’d try initiating voice input different ways. Your car button might just trigger the input and send it to Google Maps. what if you hit the microphone button in Google maps on the screen and then said the command. What if you said “Hello Google”?

Personally I’ve always found voice input hit or miss, and Google has been constantly changing things it’s hard to even keep things straight on what you’re supposed to do. I would say your best bet is to try every conceivable option till you find what works, and then use that for as long as you can until Google breaks it.

It’s called leeching

I still find it so hard to believe a person at a McDonald’s in a different state was able to ID him with the information publicly out there at the time. Putting on my conspiracy cap, I have to imagine that some sort of tracking of him was done that the feds don’t want people to know about, or it was something that may be ruled unconstitutional and risk the case against him. If a random person calls in the tip, then there is reasonable suspicion on the local PD part, which would result in questioning and a search.
