Funnily enough, my new ulefone allowed me to at least completely disable that crap. First one where that is possible. Even the shitty swipe right and you get Google’s forced news app, which you could “disable” so that it would show a shitty screen with “please enable Google News!”, can be completely disabled. First time in like 10 years on a non custom ROM that I could do this.

So? Who cares? Drive letters were always a dumb idea.

Also, obligatory “get your butt off of windows, switch to Linux.”

So basically you have a tool which you use for certain tasks and when the tool broke you could not do all those tasks as easy as before. Well d’oh.

Yeah, smartphones are ubiquitous now and required for many tasks so if you break your smart phone, doing these tasks gets harder, of course

I don’t see that as a bad thing, these are tasks that smart phones have taken over and improved upon massively. That is a good thing ™

There are lots of ways in which smart phones are bad for us, any of the items described here aren’t on that list, really.

That needs just two words:

Thank you.

No, still not.

Sooooo

Chrome is out

Firefox is put

What is a professional Brower that can do all what the above two can do, but is open source and not riddled with adware or ad allow ware, spyware and other shit?

Is there any browser left that we can still use for all sites?

Water proofing is a good reason though, I want and need my devices water proof

However, at least there are phones that are water proof and still let you exchange the battery

Aaaaaaand I can switch to residential proxies, I can still appear from wherever the fuck I want.

You. Can’t. Stop. This.

All this will do is cause actual criminals to hide it better, that is it.

I don’t blame a girl for doing a job that lands her food on the table. I blame the guy employing her because she’s the cheapest option

Having said that, this design was so bad that she should not have been doing any of this. If you don’t know that SQL allows you to select multiple columns then by all means, do a tutorial, it’s not that hard.

If you don’t even know what encryption is, that passwords need hashing and what not, then you should really question what you’re doing

OPs question was about the worst code I’ve seen, that was the worst I’ve seen

What’s wrong with webp, exactly, besides maybe some systems still not supporting a decades old format?

A program that HR had built so that all employees could they their payment receipts online

The username was the companies’ email address, the password was a government personal id code that you can lookup online, a don’t change, and you can’t update the password to something else.

So I told the director of HR this was a bad idea. She told me I was overreacting until I showed her her own receipt, then she finally understood that this is a really fucking bad idea.

Okay, so now she out me in charge of debugging that program.

So I setup a meeting with the director of the company they hired, he came by with the developer: a 21 yo girl who I think hadn’t finished college yet. Great start! Apparently it was her idea to do the authentication like that so that explains a few things.

So we dive in to the code.

First of all, the “passwords” were stored in blank, no hashing, no encryption, nothing. That wasn’t the worst.

For the authentication she made a single query to check if the user email existed. Of that was true, then step two was a second query to see if the password existed. If that were true, the email had been authenticated.

So let’s say, hypothetically, that they had actual passwords that people could change… I could still login with the email from anyone, and then use MY OWN password to authenticate.

This just blew my mind so hard that I don’t think I ever fully recovered, I still need treatment. The stupidity hurts

So-called “bossware” lets managers keep a close eye on employees’ activity, tracking everything from knowledge workers’ website visits to the gait and facial expressions of those involved in more physical activities.

It would be so hard to not furiously masturbate to the camera just to shock the fuck out of those assholes.

Anyways, this is sick behavior. If you have so little trust in your employees, than you are the problem, not them

Just not very humane

You snapped a motherboard in half? That’s quite a feature, those things are quite tough and with a lot of places to cut yourself open

It’d be easier to simply hack the software and reprogram it to just act normal

Duck their software licenses. I buy a car, I pay for it, it’s MY car and I will very much decide how to use it

Well to be fair, financial data should be public, it would stop so many crimes, so much corruption.

Maybe AI saw the problems that hidden financial data causes and just decided to do the world a favor!

For the record, I am a fat retard.

Well Elmo, that might be the first, and likely last thing we both agree on

So now my SSID has to be myname_nomap_optout_dontscan_ffswhy_fuckoffanddie?

Just like a broken clock shows the right time twice a day…

Anytime any non scientist wants to genetically engineer babies you should get very worried

When crypto or ai bros want to do that get outright scared
