Erm, WhatsApp would suggest otherwise.

WhatsApp was the vector for zero click access to a target’s phone from Israel’s weapons grade hacking Pegasus toolkit. They would send a video call, typically in the middle of the night, and with no input from the used they’d get full access. My personal belief is that they used functionality WhatsApp itself uses to access user data.

There was also an encrypted phone called ANOM, which had this trick calculator app with a hidden encrypted messager. “Made for criminals, by criminals”. Except, when the guy started his business he got investment from the FBI and Australian Federal Police to pay for the servers and some of the phones themselves. Basically every time it sent an encrypted message it sent a separate encrypted message to the ANOM servers. It’s entirely possible (perhaps even likely) that WhatsApp would do this also.

As for Google, they’re truly insidious. Lots of banks now require you to connect to Google captcha servers - they don’t give you the pictures, it’s just the back end, basically the tracking parts. Then there’s the controversy about them collecting location data when users have said no. They absolutely do collect data they shouldn’t.

I viewed it on a work connection, can’t wait to see what happens.

Ejaculation is supposed to refer to written statements, though. As in, Watson ejaculated over Sherlock Holmes. (He literally did, the word is used all over the books).

I was leaning towards fuckletoes also, never heard dicksplash although it wouldn’t be a surprise, but really any of them would generally be appropriate. You’re supposed to get a little creative from time to time.

My favourite one that not so many people have heard is “that’s rare as rocking horse shit”.

Article: there’s a video, but we’re not going to show it, just trust us!

No she thinks it’s fair for women to discriminate against men, “for at least 300 years”.

All software from torrent sites should be treated with a wary eye.

Sure, but where did they get my phone number from???

It’s like Facebook locking you out of your account and requiring you to present government ID, which they’ve never seen before and thus cannot use to prove ownership of the account. The request itself is a thinly veiled fish for more valuable information.

I never even provided my phone number to Paypal, then one day they started requiring me to use it to verify logins.

I dunno, if a car kicks up a rock from the road and smashes a windscreen, that’s considered no one’s fault. Even though the car in front kicked it up.

In this case, NASA have assumed that things would burn up in re-entry, based on past experience and modelling. For some reason that didn’t happen here. However, that might not be enough to prove liability - if NASA is considered to already make reasonable efforts to prevent this.

I’m guessing you don’t actually work on the sites. Generators are often in containers and not necessarily obvious, or out of the way. Depends on the site and what the job is, though.

In general, a site would prefer to have a proper connection (cheaper), but more often than not it’s not available.

1. It’s not always practical to get power to a site, depending on the utility and whatever upgrades they need.
2. Solar doesn’t generate enough, and doesn’t generate at all overnight (when plant would be charged).
3. Most plant lives on site and transporting it off site to charge is just going to add to costs and likely increase pollution (you need lorries to move them).

It’s a good idea, and one that’s growing, but it’s still niche and it will be a long time before construction sites are fully electric.

Yeah I was aware of that as I posted it. I work on construction sites. More than anything I was highlighting how vehicles isn’t the only problem.

Definitely better than Boba, but I think the fight scenes have been better than Ahsoka, and the plot premise also.

The witches are nothing new in Star Wars lore (I think Darth Maul came from their tribe), and I’m all for getting more of that.

I thought the SW Acolyte was alright so far. It’s a bit slow and drawn out, but not bad.

The Netherlands is also a monarchy, and Denmark.

The more I hear that they won’t announce the Switch 2 the more I think they will.

Lol how do you think construction sites generate electricity to charge the batteries?

If you want lemmy to work well, speak with /u/[email protected], he’ll sort you out. Dude is a legend and runs the best instance, IMO, but is always willing to help other instances.

I’m shocked, shocked I say.
