shhhh. it just works.

are you John Apple?

is there some reason you’re taking personal offense at Apple’s security failings?

you thought ios was secure.

it isn’t. ho hum.

hasn’t worked yet, 2fa doesn’t help with third-party breaches, and apparently doesn’t help secure Apple’s back end either.

they’ve got to invest more in basic security infrastructure instead of placing the burden on the consumer, but I don’t think that’s going to happen either, since apple consumers are still happy getting breached every year.

surr… that’s how breach timelines go in general, it’s a lot easier to “hack” lax security procedures directly or for third parties that Apple or Microsoft shares sensitive information with than it is to attack any database directly.

it looks like mom’s fried rice is a separate dish that has more ingredients, you can add mushrooms and meat and a bunch of vegetables, but the recipes for this “kids” mom’s fried rice only have egg, rice and cabbage, plus sauce:

a speck of evidence for homemade laotian whiskey being popular?

there are hundreds of homemade bottles at every market.

each market seller or restaurant that has whiskey offers their own homemade laotian whiskey as well.

I’m not from Laos, but I lived there for a while.

is that a nyala?

yeah, these data leaks are all about break into iOS specifically to access iCloud data and accounts, I don’t know about their backup servers.

If they can get the data up front, why go around the back?

The iCloud leak from 2014 was all leaked login information also, it’s why they finally implemented encryption.

oh but Apple officially says that the 2014 attack was only due to fishing and brute Force attacks.

idk, enforcing encryption directly after that was a good idea, but I doubt they would do it unless it was necessary or vulnerable.

I feel like I read a new article with Apple IDs being leaked every year.

looks like there there have been six major apple data leaks since the 2014 incident you’re talking about, so a major leak based on exploits every year and a half, and then there’s also all the individual articles that pop up with someone saying they received notification that they’re iCloud data or Apple ID was leaked, which I don’t know the frequency of but I see all the time.

seems to happen fairly often.

easy to avoid if you want to avoid it.

I think you have a higher regard for the stringent ethics of poverty-stricken moonshiners than I do.

but what you’re saying certainly could have happened also.

I tasted it and immediately I had red flags go up in my mind, the bottles I tried(had to make sure) definitely tasted homemade and not completely divorced from methanol

The article keeps mentioning that the drinks could have been spiked, but that seems very unlikely and a weird way to poison someone, especially since there doesn’t seem to be a motive or relationship between the victims.

what’s much more likely, given it’s Laos, is that the whiskey was poorly homemade and the bar sourced their whiskey from that. unskillful distiller, laotian whiskey is a cultural tradition and whiskey is pretty easy to make. all you need is a still, but if you keep all of the distillation, the beginning of the liquid coming out is methanol, which is very poisonous. after the methanol is gone then it’s all ethanol, which is the alcohol you’re used to drinking and is less poisonous.

it sounds like this was in a bar, so the supplier of the bar probably got lazy or didn’t want to waste any of the distillate they were making and kept the methanol in through negligence or greed.

that sounds… vulnerable.

is that why Apple devices perpetually get broken into and all the pictures/info shared?

because their login information is held by a third party?

yep, I did a deep dive into the scientific paper mill industry and you are exactly correct.

the only other metric I have heard about(besides just buildings being built) for scientific advancement within China comes from the sheer volume of papers they submit which have been studied again and again and at least 20% are entirely fabricated, but the number is probably much higher and the academics don’t have time to weed out all the irrelevant ones so they just let the irrelevant ones go through, but there’s a dearth of innovative progressive science coming out of China as far as anyone can still tell.

they straight up have paper mills and it’s openly known that those papers are one either based on completely fabricated data, or two based on irrelevant already known data.

as far as editors trying to check all of these false papers out of China have reported, it’s sort of like if you were submitting an article to an automotive mechanics magazine, and you just did a book report on what a piston is.

like yeah, that’s what a piston is, but no knowledge is being gained from a report on an already known technology and its known applications.

so how do those papers get into the magazines?

very often those paper mills offer a grant to a legitimate scientist who needs to get a project done and they’ll agree to be credited as a co-author on these ersatz Chinese papers so that they’re more widely accepted.

there’s six different related articles about the same thing on that website, and the metric of declaring them “science cities” seems to be the amount of buildings they have built in the cities, rather than verified scientific advancement.

more than? how?

The apple shape is pretty indicative for me.

judging by your username, you share certain similarities with Bruce Willis.

and he seems to forget who he is these days, so yeah you might actually be Bruce Willis.

no, I’ve never heard covid victims called “those left behind”, that is a rather morbid bit of prose from your part of the world.

"he means the ones just staying at home. Not the ones covid killed. "

as far as I can tell, yes.

you call people killed by covid “those left behind”?

those left behind
