I’m speaking from the point of view of the app you gave permissions to collect your hardware data. Y’all are talking like I think a MAC is transmitted over tcp. I don’t need an intro to OSI. Those apps use the hardware data to know if you’re using Samsung, LG, Apple, etc and they store large databases of MAC addresses on individuals. They can even build a local hardware profile to see if you sold your device, to whom, and what device you replaced it with.

I’m speaking from the point of view of the app you willingly installed that tracks your MAC address. Part of the reason iOS11 implemented built in spoofing, but I can tell you right now, I know Tim Apple ain’t on the users side anymore.

Unless they’re spoofing their MAC address, hardware fingerprinting is much more reliable and predictable. It’s easy to watch a MAC bounce all over the country/world in a matter of minutes.

At this point in history, it’s too late to implement identity protections. Your profile is already built, stored, and backed up. They even know your deleted edgelord MySpace account and that you unfriended Tom (you monster). I guess if you were born in a ditch without a SSN, and never signed up for anything, not even a house/apartment, you could go under the radar.

Yeah, I called it a rom-com because…

Because October is scary season, I feel like Sam Rami fills this niche perfectly. Drag Me to Hell (2009) is peak Rami rom-com.

Hmmmm… only 12 billion USD. I thought it would have been more.

A friend of mine who helped me through some tough times always said, if you lend or give your money away, never expect to see it again. This was in response to me not being able to pay him back when I promised. I eventually did pay him back, but his kindness and generosity still haunts me with guilt.

At my fist big boy job my dad sent me one that locked out my keyboard and mouse then cranked the volume to 100% as it yelled “hey everyone, I’m watching porno over here” followed by a super loud moan. It was a quiet call center too. That moment still haunts my dreams.

In the 90’s, companies were super lax on data security, retention, and destruction. In my city we had major IT players like INTEL, HP, Motorola, etc. We would dumpster dive and find whole computers full of data and no passwords. We were after the hardware so all our friends could play Doom MP, Quake, or later Unreal Tournament… so we usually wiped them but who knows what was in those things. It was a lot of e-waste and because of divers with bad intentions, now there’s incredibly strict corporate rules about data security/destruction.

I know you didn’t ask and this is just anecdotal evidence from my employer, but the people who tried to reverse engineer this guys work were given strict deadlines they never met. Pen testers to straight up turnaround kings, this guy buried them all and had to be bought out. It was cheaper to buy him out than it was to pursue the next step. Stay safe my friend, stay valuable.

We recently had to buy out a director that kept all the technical knowledge to themselves for the last 20 years. They were almost always available 24x7 for outage calls and it became clear his teams didn’t know shit about anything, especially when said director was sick or on vacation. He was labeled a danger to the infrastructure and settled for a multimillion dollar buyout with a full knowledge transfer. Retirement age, fat 401k, company stock and other investments… yeah, he took that deal immediately, like no hesitation.

Wasn’t Baldur’s Gate 3 a massive success? 15 million copies, well over half a billion in gross revenue. Kingdom Come:Deliverance II, Clair Obsure, and Elden Ring also come to mind. Heck, even the VR TTRPG Demeo was a success, all in the last 5 years. I don’t understand.

I mean, I didn’t watch this video because I lost interest when the channel started getting really dark around 2020. I just needed a laugh during the pandemic. I didn’t need 4 videos in a row about the end of the world, then a few about the end of the universe, followed by a future civil war. It was too much.

When did I say game mod? But yeah! Fuck Nintendo and Games Workshop.

…and when it’s time to run? Tool use didn’t stop a 400lbs gorilla from ripping you limb from limb. Dicks out for Harambe. I’m still not over it.

Ok, but one could also argue that Nintendo was never going to release what this content creator made, it attracted more business to the official IP, the artist was expressing themselves through painstaking love for the content, and only asked for tips to support further creative adventures.

Dropped my Switch for a Steam Deck and never looked back.

Fuck Nintendo and Games Workshop. Just say it’s not cannon and fucking move on you controlling pricks.

16 year Reddit account, so much content given to them over the years, perma banned for hate speak a few days ago. Apparently saying people should support all innocent civilians (especially the children via PCRF) and make food and support flow… is hate speak. Fucking bootlicking cowards. I’m glad I got banned, fuck new Reddit.
