Either this article is poorly researched, the study is scuffed, or both. It isn’t the uniform but the type of which that the school enforces. There are plenty of schools with gender neutral uniform policies, heck the one I went to in Aus had 3 options, one of which is sports specific for all genders.

Ah yes, just Australian wildlife things. We don’t have currawongs up here in QLD but we still have butcher birds earning their namesake.

Same with Express/Nord VPN sponsorships. Many people debunked the adverising BS they were spinning about blocking tracking when really it only masked a tiny subset.

As someone who studied infosec, those ads were infuriating. Now I just sponsor block it all because I’m beyond tired of it.

God help us all if we have to break out the Emus

It’d be like the phone equivalent of Linux’s diagonal monitor orientation, only now the touch screen experience is beyond fucked.

Strangely enough this might work for round smart watches though.

Is it just me or are these stories getting a little bit ‘competitive’ on the worst possible accusations with lessening citations. All I could find on this are 15+yr old articles and Instagram/Tiktok influencers.

I’m imagining that shaped as an Alolan Exeggutor.

With a couple of tweaks you got yourself the Zoomer app edition of Mortal Combat.

We have truly distilled humanity’s confident stupidity into its most efficient form.

Hahaha, I wish.

You would be amazed at how ancient and poorly maintained many web servers are on the modern internet. SQL injection still consistently make the top 3 web app vulnerabilities as of 2021. If that isn’t being sanitized properly I don’t expect emojis would be handled much better.

Through a low tech social engineering attack referred to as SIM Jacking, an attacker can have your number moved to their SIM card, redirecting all SMS 2FA codes effectively making the whole thing useless as a security measure. Despite this, companies still implement it out of both laziness and to collect phone numbers (which is often why SMS MFA is forced)

I’m inclined to agree, otherwise it would be like calling a FPV kamakazi drone a missile.

Naming aside, kinda terrifying that these could theoretically be travelling autonomously far deeper than any sub thanks to the lack of a pressure vessel.

You assume that the state ever took responsibility for their role in Chernobyl. To them that was all someone else’s fault just as it will be Ukraine/NATO’s fault for setting off the mines and not bending a knee to Russia’s demands. Real-world logic doesn’t make sense to them, never has.

I’d like to think Typescript does a lot of heavy lifting where JS fails when it comes to web development. On the otherhand there is no fixing fundamental flaws in PHP.

Sure bad programmers write bad code, but if a language tolerates something so obviously janky via implicit unseen magic, it’s just encouraging bad practices. PHP makes this worse by tweaking core behaviours in weird and wacky ways that can easily lead to security vulnerabilities.

I’ve been working with PHP for two years now (not by choice) but I still sometimes forget the weird behaviours these not-arrays cause. Recently I was pushing/popping entries in a queue and it fucked the indexing. I had programmed it like I would any other sane language and it wasn’t until I was stepping through the bug I realised I had forgotten about this.

I hate PHP for so many more reasons. It baffles me why anyone would think it was a good idea to design it this way. Thankfully my current job involves actively burning it down and preparing for its replacement.

As a software engineer who has dealt with so many incidents resulting from the garbage coming out of salesforce. SO. MUCH. THIS.

I swear it’s always in a perpetual state of duct tape no matter where I see it used.

I’m not surprised in the slightest. The politicians and managers in charge of said gov systems are usually of an age that have no idea the basics of how technology works, let alone infosec importance. It’s then contracted out to the lowest bidder on deadlines that wouldn’t permit proper hardening anyways. It’s not even a US specific issue, Australians deal with this dumb fuckery regularly.

Then you get some piss poor public apology, someone gets thrown under a bus, and the cycle repeats ad infinatum.

Expecting all network operators to do that is not feasible or reliable. Tesla controls the car, protocol, charger, and payment processing. Everyone else outside the walled garden is openly handling a much bigger market with many more variables in more countries. Forcing customers to use an app for each brand of charger is also an accessibility nightmare. Fear mongering about skimmers is a dumb reason to remove traditional payment methods.

This is all before we get to the lack of screen or keypad means fuck all to security (it’s also an accessibility issue to remove them). If I can break into a Tesla charger wirelessly and fuck with your car, I’m going to do it, walled garden or not. Just look at the state of IoT.
