not to mention whose recent valuations have basically been about selling their data to train models which will be used to make AI slop

fun fact: manufacturers often ship specific black friday models of electronics with cheaper internals

also depth of blocks: if i’m more than 2 or 3 indents deep, it’s probably got a bit too much logic to it and those comments should be converted to a function name

+1 davinci… it’s incredible what you get in the free version, and the studio version is getting more and more worth the money in a value add way rather than a need it way

the axe thing also doesn’t pass the sniff test

if you were given an axe and access to any location with no security and unlocked doors for 10min, i doubt you’d be able to take out any single even tiny part of AWS

well okay maybe a tiny part… as in perhaps a single AZ, but that loss of service wouldn’t effect service availability

major outages are always caused by technical issues… things like network partitions, split brain, etc cause far more cascading issues because incorrect is much worse than unresponsive

i’m fairly sure it’s untrue yes but didn’t want to comment that because i don’t know for sure, and honestly it’s a little null and void because they definitely do broadcast all kinds of bluetooth stuff which is equally trackable (though i guess with all the wifi location data you can correlate someone in the store to where they live pretty much perfectly accurately where bluetooth info is less useful in that regard)

i’m 99% sure your phone scans for available wifi networks, sees one it knows and then connects, but i could see a situation where it’s 2s faster to just keep trying so for a “good user experience” some shit company decided to start doing it… but i’m pretty sure for apple pr google that’d result in a CVE

right? like if white space weren’t required, how would you format your code differently? arbitrary white space all over the place? no indentation? that is some spicy garbage code

Would or is also a really good way to sniff WiFi passwords. If anybody says “Well yes, I am indeed $HOME_NETWORK_NAME” your phone just hands them the password.

okay that’s very untrue… wifi passwords aren’t really passwords; more accurately they’re pre-shared keys… they are used to generate the encryption parameters used to talk to the AP. the password is never sent over the air, and there’s a 4-way handshake
