  3. I want to hack my Ps4 so bad. Every time I turn it on I get ads for Disney and Netflix. Today YouTube, the only app I use, was buried under "see all" with all their ads covering the media centre. Why did I pay for this, it should be free if I'm forced to pay for internet, use my hard drive and console and tv, and pay for power. I HAVE to let Sony know what I'm doing, I HAVE to let Sony dictate my shortcuts, and I HAVE to agree to a contract change every time they decide to change the terms of service after I've already sunk $100's into it and can't get my money back... The mafia does that, and police jail them for it. F# Sony, and my government for normalizing this level of intrusion. It's shameful AF.

  4. This is one of my favourite videos. I don't really play games but I love how you break down that giant mov sequence that got reconstructed by the seemingly benign prof-blah DLL. This was really neat, even for novice programmer like me looking for coding challenges to practise on. I can't wait to try to break a hello world down and rebuild it to run with another function in another file just for fun.

  5. 25 years handwriting javascript, css and html and I hear this explanation of pointers somehow being controlled of other memory... And still, despite hardware background and trying repeatedly, understanding dereferenced pointers and how a bug means a malicious script can be planted then addressed and then called is like "yada yada yada" every time its explained as if to a laymen it seems just as hard to understand planting an rce as it is causing a memory overflow and knowing precisely what to out in precisely that address without rebooting or or having anything else in the system not get in the way or detect the anomaly. It's still baffling to me, even though you explain it so well the simple example is a wall of code that references all over the place before crossing over aaaand "yada yada yada" lol I'm sure that's probably the simplest example, but a quick 20 seconds on how reversing the order of void and I'd assignment makes any difference would be mad helpful to follow, presuming you're going into this much detail to help people follow rather than only those who don't need the example to follow because they already do ctf competitions.

  6. Just a thought: if my anonymous personal data is sold and I get served an ad in the start menu for something oddly specific, like let's say gigantic sized condoms in industrial 5,000 packs, for example... The the cookie of that unique ad like the image cached or the video that automatically downloaded to "optimize" the website, any other site I visit can see that this specific and peculiar ad was targeted at my "anonymous" computer once, alongside the mom and pop burrito store down the street and the gym upgrade at the small university I frequent. Might evn discover I've been going there for 15 years but LinkedIn says I never got a degree, I'm just a guy who buys lots of condoms, eats burritos, goes to school but never graduates, and frequents a gym but still has 38" waist... Targeted advertising is never anonymous on the whole. They may not outright give your SSN and birthday to vulture brokers but 3 simple and visible cookies out if 19,000 could pinpoint you to a street corner, your member size, and private psychological issues. Have you ever looked up a medication you now take for life? Think that just goes away or gets forgotten ever or is it tracked for 25 years and used against you to exploit your privacy and health? Think about it. Companies aren't people, they don't go to jail they only get fined and only if a person has bigger lawyers and evidence which the company controls, alongside their terms of service they're allowed to change without notice. Why would they ever be respectful of any person whatsoever? They don't have feelings they have articles of incorporation, shareholders' interests mandates, and expense cards. Nobody should ever EVER use Microsoft recall on a personal computer. This is for schools to apt on students or libraries to spy on staff, no problem. No person should ever buy this and take it home with just the power of love protecting their intimate lives. I can't even believe this all needs to be said but clearly if the government hasn't found any fault in Microsoft's track record then there must be a lot of hospitals and police stations who might actually opt in believing they were enabling a feature. Or maybe a disgruntled employee just flips the switch one day before quitting. Who knows? There is no good that could possibly come from even having such an app even installed on any device when the system is so incredibly buggy already that it needed 3 different command prompt applications for one operating system cli to handle different tasks. Like seriously, if you can't figure out a terminal on that budget over that many decades why would a top security risk like recall being built into the OS be smart? If your users can't turn off cortana or find backups from searching the start menu, or turn off fast boot without consulting stack overflow, then why would recall be a good idea to embed in the system? How could that possibly be so hard to have issued it as completely separate software instead? Tinfoil hat time: intentional back door. Apple made a killing selling itself to Pegasus, I bet.

  7. ... Since zen 2 in 2018 AMD has been cheaper and better. Why do people insist on paying more for less performance, more headaches, more power, and a million new sockets so you can't just upgrade cpu years later without getting a new motherboard. Not just recently, I'm talking like 7 years now. Why is anybody overpaying for Intel? I don't understand the brand loyalty here.

  8. This is the entire point of the consultation stage of the trademark review. What damage is done is by people who don't understand the point of discussion and who expect perfect answers to arrive immediately because they've never had the experience of generating a new idea for themselves. Brats are annoying.

  9. If a single person was paid 6 month salary before spending millions deploying these things, the problem could've been prevented entirely. Could've shared that cost with EU too. Or we could all just move to FOSS.

  12. It's not that simple, though. Let's say I consent to being trained on, but I quote parts of your book every day and comment on a new quote from your book as my "transformative" fair use of your book. Now AI is trained on your book without your consent or a royalty paid. That's how hard it would be to trace royalties and settle disputes of outputs which are direct quoted from your work. As soon as other people produce derivative works for free I am able to train a model on their work even if not yours. This isn't the kind of legislation you want to rush or blanket broadly to protect people because it will wind up doing precisely the opposite if you're not surgical in the regulation.
