Ooh, you beat mine: 848330 (unfortunately, mine was hacked over 5 years ago, and by the time I realized, their logs didn’t go back far enough for me to validate that I was the original owner)

I just tried this a couple different ways:

1. Removing permission for “nearby devices” - this unfortunately appears to block both Bluetooth and NFC permission
2. Turning off the phone’s Bluetooth - NFC still works while the Bluetooth radio is off, but you’d basically never be able to safely use Bluetooth anytime you aren’t watching your car. Setting a PIN is still unfortunately the only way to go, and hope that a dedicated attacker doesn’t also find a way to capture your PIN (e.g. camera zoomed in on your screen).

I mean, if she’s already dying, what’s the issue here? I’m losing money if I have to stop and call 911, when she has a perfectly good phone to do it herself.

What’s scary is that I think the owner of userbenchmark actually believes that statement. Which might explain how he’s so out of touch that he thinks his own crap doesn’t stink and deserves to be locked behind a subscription. I’m just sad that there might be a not insignificant number of people that pay for it.

Well, they are a minority.

When I was twelve, I woke up convinced that the color yellow was called yellow, because humans had figured out that word was intrinsically linked to that color.

I was devastated my “epiphany” stopped making sense after I fully woke up.

I sync OneDrive to my Synology as well, another reason I’m okay with the “double” traffic is that my and my wife’s photos from our smartphones immediately get backed up to our Synology, even when we’re away from home.

Yep, the only thing better than encryption is for the data to not be on the device at all.

Obamacare requires employers to pay for healthcare if you work more than 25 hours (of course, some businesses like McDonald’s have an exemption, anyway). Anon is claiming his employer is intentionally cutting hours to avoid healthcare costs. I have no idea whether it’s actually very common or not.

Why do you assume that complaining is the same as saying Twitter isn’t allowed to do this? I can still think it’s shitty without thinking they aren’t allowed to do it.

Just think of this as more of a YSK, instead of breaking news. 😉

Dog whistle literally just means coded language that an ordinary observer might not notice, but can be used to subtly identify other like-minded individuals.

Not all dog whistles are necessarily bad (depending on perspective). I’m an ex-mormon, and one dog whistle is a tapir. Without more information, it is too subtle to really know for certain whether I just like tapirs, or that I’m actually ex-mormon. But eventually, two ex-mormons might see enough signals to finally confide in one another.

A lot of the language you used is innocuous enough, and I didn’t feel like it was at the level @hoodatninja claimed, but it definitely had a “Reddit was becoming too woke” vibe to it, without actually coming out and outright saying it, aka, a dog whistle.
