I own a small USB stick that acts as a camera. But in reality it’s just a HDMI input on the other end. Now beat that with software

I’d be rich if I had a penny for every time a savegame or config file is stored somewhere totally whack.
Fun thing of you enable protected folders on windows: No app can get write access your Documents folder (or Images or Videos or…) unless you put them explicitly on the whitelist. That means you get to experience all the programs that are crashing or hanging or… just because they’re simply assuming that that’s the best place to dump data and because these folders always exist, you don’t need proper error handling in case you cannot access them…

That’s exactly why I set a custom, selfrecorded ringtone as my on call ringtone. I had used a default one prior, but after a few small heart attacks, it was a no brainer.

Casual sex […] has no survival value
I wonder how many people less of our species were on earth w/o casual sex. It doesn’t have survival value for one personally, though.

Another example of a false friend:
German: Bekommen (to get), English: Become (werden)
Hence a joke I often heard while learning English:

Guest: “I become a steak.”

Waiter: “Well, I do hope you won’t, but I could ask the chef, if you insist…”

While I’m totally with you, many people may be affected by the orange one, even if their not from the US. US politics influences a lot of places globally.
- Comment on Anon is in a simulation 1 month ago:
The earth’s diameter is about 12.700km. that’s 12.700.000m.
Assuming it were a perfect sphere (it isn’t, but that shold give an estimate), the distance on the surface “to the other side of the world” would be
180°/360°*pi*12.700.000m=19.949.113m- also assuming not using satellite communications.Phone signals will either travel as electric fields in copper cables, as radio waves or as light waves in a fiber channel. All cases travel with speed of light
c=299.792.458 m/sThat means, that the time to send the signal to the other end of the world takes about
19.949.113m/299.792.458 m/s = 0,0667s. Now add a few electronic components on there to refresh the signal or transfer it from one medium to another (e.g. the radio tower receiving the RF signal and sending it via fibre out). All of these add a few milliseconds - that’s in the range of 0,001s to 0,01s.You usually start to notice that sound is delayed for movies when it’s more than 0,2s delayed - and that’s with the visual cues. While calling someone, you cannot see them which gives even more leeway. So you probably won’t really notice the delay in those calls.

Also, even without a prior pentest the admins should have a rough idea where problems areas are (or maybe even know them for a fact but cannot completely patch/disable them to not lock out legacy systems or so). A completely empty report would definitely raise suspicions

Even if the deletion request is federated - what stops me from using a modified server that ignores them and stores them anyways?

That took me way to long, too. I’m not from an English speaking country and don’t really know the song, so I didn’t pay attention to the notes and just tried to find the pun in the text, didn’t find one and gave up. I only noticed it, when this post scrolled by me for the second time.
I should have never given up, as that only let me down…

- Comment on What is stopping a scammer from HTTPS certificating a "nonsense.ReputableBank.com" 2 months ago:
Yeah, but now you’re talking about communicating with web.archive.org and not nonesense.reputable-bank.com as in the original post. In this case you’re not even trying to hide the fact, that you aren’t affiliated with reputable-bank.com and were back to square one and you could also just use reputable-bank.com.some.malicious-phishing.website to host your page.
Btw: all modern browsers will warn you when you access a non-encrypted website - some immediately, some only when you try to enter data into a login form.

- Comment on How are scammers getting my email address? 3 months ago:
Some companies just blatantly sell your data. Others get breached and you are part of the package that gets sold by the hackers.
The only “way around” is to use unique mail addresses for each signup/company so you can easily lock it and switch to another one when it gets known.
Just assume, that everything that you type in a form online (or in any other way send to a company/another person digitally), every email you send, everything that gets digitized about you, etc. will be public one day. Either because the other side of the transaction sold it or because they (or you) will be hacked eventually.
Btw: HaveIBeenPwned does not necessarily contain all breaches. I have several notifications of companies that got breached and leaked my data that are not listed in HIBP…
