99%. These are the PYONGMEI branded headphones we see in amazon

I’m sure they’ll still continue to mimic other companies in the best way possible.

You either increase the profits or you go down the capitalism slide.

That is the question I’m asking. Sure we can blame person X, but nobody who can be put in the place of X cares about the problem. So what can we do to at least get this boat going? I want to brainstorm so that we can actually get shit done instead of waiting for the “leaders” to do it for us.

Let’s take politics out of the discussion since it is clear that even after years neither party did anything remarkable about fixing the broken healthcare system. I believe the people need to take these matters in their hands, otherwise nothing will change. So what do you as a person living in the US think that we can do to fix/improve the situtation?

You’d be surprised to see how many common libraries have vulnerabilities every week.

Start with the basics:

• Harden SSH by only allowing public key authentication and use strong keys to authenticate instead of passwords.
• Setup fail2ban (lots of online resources, check Linode guides) to block malicious IPs temporarily.
• If the data you store is something only you should see, then it should not ever be connected to the internet, airgap wherever possible.
• And finally, keep your shit updated.

Apple needs to port Logic to Windows

I’m scared, but nothing is sacred…yeah

Powerful people. People who have the money and the power are corrupt EVERYWHERE. Yet we ignore this and move on and pay and pay and pay.

You talk as if it is yet to happen.

I heavily use both platforms, whatever I talk about or wherever I go, I see targeted ads. When I speak about brand X, I immediately see ads for it both in ios and android. Plus every device mic is being listened to all the time, advertising agencies are your proof. Sure android devices collect more data in practice, however the data that’s not being collected by ios can be inferred from the data that’s already been collected. Do you really believe a company when they say their devices are made to ensure your privacy? Google literally says the same thing on their privacy policies ;) it’s all legal mumbo jumbo that doesn’t mean what it’s supposed to.

Magisk can bypass most of those issues. Might as well root if you’re using a custom rom.

It’s firmware, hence why the word ROM stuck. Once you flash the firmware to specific partitions, after the boot you can no longer modify it, unless you have root too. Technically nothing is ROM, there is always a way :).

The data collection happens on both ends. Apple only lies that it is about privacy and whatnot. Gives you a false sense of safety.

WELL DON’T JINX IT

I guess it depends on your main goal. I started out as a gambler then lost a bunch of money and started actually investing. But at the end of the day every transaction you make can be called a gamble.

Still can’t escape cell tower triangulation
