Uploading sensitive information to a completely untrusted third party and then remembering to "mark it private"
Strava has a global preference setting to mark all future uploads as private by default. Set it once, all future activity is private. No need to remember each time.
In this case, it is not the device itself - it is the web site.
strava.com allows the user to mark every run/ride/swim/etc as public or private. You'd think that members of the military would be smart enough and tech savvy enough to mark their uploads as private; yet here we are. This isn't a technology problem, it's simple user error.
Zuckerberg is personally trying to screw over the people of Hawaii to make his mammoth estate even bigger, by stealing public land.... so I think being a dick just comes naturally to him.
Internally all these companies preach "Agile" and "continuous software delivery". Guess that's just all to pacify upper management, since it isn't really working.
Set them up for people driving without a front license plate.
- it's an equipment violation, so it attatches to the registered owner; doesn't matter who is driving
- trivially easy to prove with two photographs; one of front, one of rear
- huge number of people to target
- doesn't pick on any minority, ethnic group, or economic class: everyone is issued two plates
Depends on whether you're buying pirated DVDs from that shady guy beside the 7-11, or downloading and burning them yourself.
And, I already *have* NetFlix; watching one more movie doesn't raise the cost at all. I pay $9.99 a month so others in the family don't beat me up for cancelling NetFlix; so anything I watch myself is free.
This is a geek site. I didn't think I needed to add the disclaimer "with the right kind of knowledge".
You need the right kind of knowledge to do anything with the USB port as well. Just sticking in a USB stick with "ABBA's Greatest Hits" on it won't work. (Well, maybe in a Volvo.....)
The manufacturers I'm familiar with allow firmware updates over OBD2. So if you can't get access to something with stock firmware, flash a new version that does allow it.
(Assuming that there is connectivity in the first place; if e.g. the entertainment system only connects to 12V and ground, there won't be a remote hack).
1) pay $$$ to watch a crappy pirated version
2) pay $$$ to watch it at the theatre with 200 random ill-mannered strangers
3) pay $$$ to buy an official DVD and be forced to watch countless ads
4) watch it on netflix for free, no commercials, with people I know
Uh.... explain to me why I need to pay money again?
Toner cartridge I bought (online) today was $12.99; so a $15 upcharge would be over 100%.
A 6% charge in my case would be 78 cents; which I'd pay in a "gotta have it now" case, but since I'm buying when the printer says it needs ink, versus when it stops printing, a week from now is just fine - I'll take the lower price.

I think it's called "marketing".
Sad that the highly paid Cupertino employees get a bonus, but the assembly line staff in China still get far far less than minimum wage.
screw over as many people as it takes

If you hate science because it conflicts with your religious beliefs, you probably donâ(TM)t want people using it to justify stuff.
That's why "faith based" is still permitted.
While JavaScript is admittedly a really bad programming language, Python is a very good one.
You sound like one of those weenie user-space developers.
The answer to "is Microsoft screwing us" is always yes.
Quick quiz for you: what cell phones are NOT made in China?
my tires squealed on the pavement and I stood on the horn, swerving around him
Yet another way to win yourself a Darwin award.
He *would* have won the award, but your driving ruined that opportunity. Now he's free to reproduce and pass on the stupid gene to his kids.
If slashdot puts up a story for every linux kernel release, they'd better buy more server space.
>> Asynchronously, about 60 seconds after boot, a systemd timer fires which runs "/etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news --force"
So: proof positive that systemd is an evil tool of the devil.
Will it run linux?

If I break into a car, I can:
- possibly attack it via USB; limited ability to hack, on limited car makes and models
- plug a laptop into the car's OBD port and have complete, total access to the entire car, on every car on the planet
Why would I be concerned about USB, when you can reprogram all of the car's computers via OBD?
My viewing choices for a new movie are....
1) pay $$$ to watch a crappy pirated version
2) pay $$$ to watch it at the theatre with 200 random ill-mannered strangers
3) pay $$$ to buy an official DVD and be forced to watch countless ads
4) watch it on netflix for free, no commercials, with people I know

The manager was walking by and I said what's up and showed him the online price. He said quite quickly, show the cashier, we'll give you that price.
Was the manager walking funny? Because if I saw a $15 upcharge I'd tell the manager to ram the cartridge up his ass.
a task that consumed some 1,200 man-hours every year
So, one single person working 24 hours a week. No wonder the US debt is so high.
If these people had the wherewithal to do that, they wouldn't be in prison in the first place.
So what the hell *are* they doing with that laptop they stole?
Besides, you don't need a virtual phone number. Just use a calling card: https://www.virtualprepaidminu...
Exactly. There is no star rating for "chance of injury due to fire".
The x86 architecture makes me extremely pissed off.
