Go ahead and give them your Social Security number, and see what happens.

“Socially I’m rated 3/10, but for security I’m an 8/10. Now that I’m replying to this, I think my security score just dropped a bit, though.”

I mean… Is it really spying? Your company can detect which AP or Switch you’re connected to (or if you’re using a VPN from home), so they do have that data anyways.

Wasn’t it also some kind of DNS problem on top?

Just use the terms as every layman does:

• Dumb X <- offline/manual/no app (or none that works if you’re not in your home network/no cloud
• Smart X <- requires a increasingöy more costly monthly subscription, spies on you and shits itself on the thought of losing internet access. Usually yields worse results than Dumb X

Remember “After Dark”?

According to that bill, does a wss connection count as a securely tunneled connection? If so, that’d break several webapps LOL.

This is a nice demonstration - and it probably isn’t even much work to run this segment in the show. Those people do not think about covering their tracks, as they do not have “anything to hide”. Also you only need to find a few easy targets in the whole audience group.

As for shooters and such - some have a message to broadcast with their actions and make it easy to link those posts to them. Others may not grasp the amount of tracking and surveillance and may be just bad at covering their tracks. Also they probably didn’t factor in OpSec that much. Granted, they might cover up in the days or weeks before, but there may still be some (years) old posts that they didn’t think about that makes them easy to identify.

GMT+3 would like a word

Please wipe verification ass to continue

In store:

Clerk: "Well, then… I’d guide you to ShinyBrand. They tick all the marks for what you’re looking for and…

Customer: aren’t those the guys that made me watch a 7 minute unskippable ad, when I was in town on a public toilet suffering a spontaneous and explosive diarrhea, while waiting for a new piece of toilet paper to wipe my sore ass from all that shit?!

It means, that when pressed, I reject all my concerns what will happen to my data…

Oooohhhh, those memories - back then, when I googled and the results always linked to ExpertSEXchange - but the company proxy server blocked that because it obviously is a porn site… 🤦

When I was working at a local supermarket, we had the instructions to explicitly ask anyone for ID that we deemed 40 or younger, when they tried to buy tobacco or alcohol. For that exact reason.

How it started:

Or you need a customer service agent, but don’t actually care about your customers and don’t want to pay someone

How it’s going:

IKEA

Chevy

GPE is only Pro and higher. No luck on home.

I have a Copilot license at work. We also have an in house „ChatGPT clone“ - basically a private deployment of that model so that (hopefully) no input data gets used to train the models.

There are some usecases that are neat. E.g. we’re a multilingual team, so having it transcribe, translate (and summarize) a meeting so that it’s easier to finalize and check a protocol. Coming back from a vacation and just ask it summarize everything you missed for a specific area of your work (to get on track before just checking everything chronologically) can be nice, too.

Also we finetuned a model to assist us in writing and explaining code from a domain specific language with many strange quirks that we use for a tool and that has poor support from off the shelf LLMs.

But all of these cases have one thing in common: They do not replace the actual work and are things that will be checked anyways (even the code one, as we know there are still many flaws, but it’s usually great at explaining the code now - not so at writing it). It’s just a convenient method to check your own work - and LLM hallucinations will usually be caught anyway.

When I click on catbox.moe images on Lemmy, I don’t see a difference between being on a VPN, my WiFi at home, on mobile data oder a random Hotspot. It either loads like back in the days when we had dial up connections or in >90% of the cases I get a connection timeout. It’s a pita to the point that I check the link on Lemmy before clicking on it and have a very hard time to not justify instantly down voting the poster for using that service.
