Mad.

Edit: They’ve edited both of their previous posts to re-frame the argument after the fact and removed a personal attack. Classy.

See my previous post…

It’s better to be safe than sorry is all I’m saying.

Also 3 separate cases have been posted above. Just continue ignoring those, I guess.

My brother and a buddy both have Alexas. And yeah, I hate being anywhere near the thing.

If no proof is offered (in either direction), then the proposition can be called unproven, undecided, inconclusive, an open problem or a conjecture.

Stating that you don’t think that it’s possible is irrelevant. It’s either happening or it isn’t. True or false. P or ¬P.

is extremely unlikely to be true in my opinion.

Is an argument from ignorance. Not trying to be rude, but this is basic logic.

Yeah, but it’s rooted and running a custom ROM ;)

This is why jailbreaking/rooting your phone is so important.

It’s better to be safe than sorry is all I’m saying.

Edit: There’s also this.

This has always blown my mind. Watching people willingly allow Big Brother-esque devices into their home for very, very minor conveniences like turning on some gimmicky multi-colored light bulbs. Now they’re literally using home “security” cameras that store everything on some random cloud server. I’ll truly never understand.

The first rule of Usenet is: You don’t speak of Usenet. They like being kept off the radar, but braggers can’t help but bring it up every opportunity they get.

All mail is automatically forwarded then deleted. So the inbox is left empty (except the backups I’m keeping for possible legal coverage.)

Exactly, removing birthright citizenship should only be possible through a constitutional convention. It’s not up to SCOTUS what parts of the constitution we do and don’t recognize.

I’ve been using Proton Mail for a few months now and I love it. Setting up auto-forwarding + delete is pretty simple in Gmail too. Then I set my phone to sync my “empty” accounts so that Google doesn’t delete them.

You should check out the NEO Surveyor mission. Planned launch is in 2027 :)

I’m guessing it would depend on how early they’re detected. I’m not involved in planning or anything, just putting what I know about them out there. But yes, they would be who NASA calls when they find something.

I know they were involved in the DART mission. With the satellites used being launched and operated out of Vandenberg, a Space Force base.

They mainly manage our satellites. Including communications, intelligence gathering, GPS, missile detection systems and monitor/protect them from attack/EM interference. That includes all of our civilian satellites.

They also make sure we (the whole planet) don’t end up like the dinosaurs. Which is nice.

Now they just need to take down Moe Rogaine’s podcast.

Just because I mentioned one scenario and didn’t mention another, very specific scenario doesn’t mean I ruled it out completely. And yes, that is a straw man, see Nutpicking.

You’re also giving them the benefit of the doubt and assuming that the encryption is implemented properly. Which is something the NSA has botched before and could very well be used to ground allied aircraft during joint operations. Which, again, would be stupid.

You might want to give this a read, then re-read my original post. I never said there wasn’t a backdoor, just that it would be stupid.

That’s not what I said, at all.

PS - I work in InfoSec (CISSP). Please tell me more about what I’ve been doing for past 20 years lol

I really need to re-watch that show. But I can’t stand all of the useless bickering lol
