I’m speaking from the point of view of the app you willingly installed that tracks your MAC address. Part of the reason iOS11 implemented built in spoofing, but I can tell you right now, I know Tim Apple ain’t on the users side anymore.

Unless they’re spoofing their MAC address, hardware fingerprinting is much more reliable and predictable. It’s easy to watch a MAC bounce all over the country/world in a matter of minutes.
At this point in history, it’s too late to implement identity protections. Your profile is already built, stored, and backed up. They even know your deleted edgelord MySpace account and that you unfriended Tom (you monster). I guess if you were born in a ditch without a SSN, and never signed up for anything, not even a house/apartment, you could go under the radar.
Yeah, I called it a rom-com because…
Spoiler
Her boyfriend believed her and was there for her, he just didn’t know how to help. Also parts of that movie were hilarious.
Because October is scary season, I feel like Sam Rami fills this niche perfectly. Drag Me to Hell (2009) is peak Rami rom-com.
Core memory unlocked. We had the yellow/orange ones in our back yard. I don’t know who showed me or why, but I knew how to squeeze that one drop of honey. Showed my daughters by making the dragon “talk” and from that day on, I never saw a flowering blossoms ever again.

It was a quiet call center too. That moment still haunts my dreams.
TheAsianDonKnots@lemmy.zipto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was hacking like in the '80s and '90s?10·4 days agoIn the 90’s, companies were super lax on data security, retention, and destruction. In my city we had major IT players like INTEL, HP, Motorola, etc. We would dumpster dive and find whole computers full of data and no passwords. We were after the hardware so all our friends could play Doom MP, Quake, or later Unreal Tournament… so we usually wiped them but who knows what was in those things. It was a lot of e-waste and because of divers with bad intentions, now there’s incredibly strict corporate rules about data security/destruction.
Yeah, what’s that about? Events like The Hunt and I’m completely locked out. Sober just puts a “totally normal, Roblox did this, and we’re sorry” message up but I’ve never know the why.
I play Roblox with my son using Linux. The program is called Sober and it’s more than fine, it’s free, and updated regularly when Roblox security/program updates.

One yearns to be free while the others are content with mediocrity of life. Which is the happiest and is ignorance truly bliss?

Kingdom Come:Deliverance II, Clair Obsure, and Elden Ring also come to mind. Heck, even the VR TTRPG Demeo was a success, all in the last 5 years. I don’t understand.

I just needed a laugh during the pandemic. I didn’t need 4 videos in a row about the end of the world, then a few about the end of the universe, followed by a future civil war. It was too much.

TheAsianDonKnots@lemmy.zipto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Nintendo sues Reddit mod for $4.5MEnglish226·15 days agoOk, but one could also argue that Nintendo was never going to release what this content creator made, it attracted more business to the official IP, the artist was expressing themselves through painstaking love for the content, and only asked for tips to support further creative adventures.
Dropped my Switch for a Steam Deck and never looked back.
Fuck Nintendo and Games Workshop. Just say it’s not cannon and fucking move on you controlling pricks.
I’m speaking from the point of view of the app you gave permissions to collect your hardware data. Y’all are talking like I think a MAC is transmitted over tcp. I don’t need an intro to OSI. Those apps use the hardware data to know if you’re using Samsung, LG, Apple, etc and they store large databases of MAC addresses on individuals. They can even build a local hardware profile to see if you sold your device, to whom, and what device you replaced it with.
