A highly respected school teacher of mine was known to say, “Say what you mean; mean what you say.”

Serious question: what is a US multinational?

I can think of easier ways of compromising the data besides brute forcing the keys, off the top of my head, and I’m just some schmuck. Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/538/

1. Compromise their endpoint with a malicious app on the app store.

2. Gain physical access to the device and compromise it. Use your imagination – pickpocket, traffic stop or customs inspection by a compromised agent, seduce them with a honeypot, etc.

3. Socially engineer them to mistakingly add you to their group chats.

4. SIM swap

Signal might be fine for journalists, criminals, cheating spouses, and general privacy when used properly with good OpSec but nation state adversaries have significantly greater resources than your average attacker, and thus require more significant security.

In 2022 they added a paywall to the feature which was previously free to all users of a Plex Pass server. https://support.plex.tv/articles/downloads-sync-faq/

First they removed downloads and now this? Feels shitty. I used this feature weekly to watch a show with a remote friend.

No, much like staging a coup of the U.S. government and threatening the sovereignty of free nations, it’s unethical, and the punishment should be proportional to the punishment for those offenses, according to severity.

I don’t see any exclamation marks here, just the Metal Gear alert sound.

• Push directly to master, not main
• No command line args, just change the global const and recompile
• No env vars either
• Port numbers only go up to 5280, the number of feet in a mile
• All auth is just a password; tokens are minority developers, not auth, and usernames are identity politics
• No hashes – it’s the gateway drug to fentanyl
• No imports. INTERNAL DEVELOPERS FIRST
• Exceptions are now illegal and therefore won’t occur, so no need to check for them
• SOAP/XML APIs only
• No support for external machines. If it’s good enough for my machine, it’s good enough for yours.

That’s a weird flex by South Canada.

The change reflects Google’s policy of adhering to official government names for geographical locations.

OK, so why am I seeing Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America) from Canada?

I’m pretty sure they mean half as much.

Did you do anything to stop the violent ego maniac in the White House? No? Then you’ve cooperated with him.

If you accept facists without objection, you aren’t much better than the facists.

No one thinks VPNs are “magic bullets”. I don’t know why this gets repeated ad nauseum.

Ooh, I know why! It’s because YouTubers hawk their preferred (sponsored) VPN as if it was silver bullet and that it’s dangerous to use your mobile device out in public or worse – public WiFi – without it. You can’t blame John or Jane Doe from parroting what their favourite YouTuber claimed.

As a quick note - location shared was not very precise (but still in the same postal index), I guess due to the fact that iPhone was connected to WiFi and had no SIM installed. If it was LTE, I bet the lat/lon would be much more precise.

And this was with location services off. How precise is a “postal index” in the author’s country (presumably Spain) I wonder.

I’d like to inform myself on this topic more. Have you found any discussions or observations that you could link to, by chance?

I disagree that its an obvious fail state. Surely with all of these airlines flying thousands of passengers, where users watch infotainment on their own devices, mostly with bluetooth, we’d have at least a handful or reports of spotty bluetooth on flights, right? Where are they, then?

And the entire plane wouldn’t be on Bluetooth headphones if the in-flight infotainment systems supported it as an option so what’s your point?

I assume Graphene won’t work with my employer’s MDM software. :/
