  • 23andMe admits hackers stole raw genotype data - and that cyberattack went undetected for months | Firm says it didn't realize customers were being hacked

    Jump

  • Look, I'm as ready as anyone to jump on companies for mishandling data. I work daily with extremely private medical information protected by an ungodly amount of laws, and it pisses me off how whimsical most companies are with customer data. This one wasn't exactly their fault though. If you use the SAME EMAIL AND PASSWORD across multiple different sites it's not site B's fault when site A gets hacked and your login information is attempted on site B. It's also not even that surprising given people willingly giving up information this private aren't exactly the most privacy literate.

    Could they have enforced multi-factor 2FA? Sure, and it would've mitigated some of the damage. However, I think we can all reason that they probably had the same password for their email and phone provider. Hardware keys aren't cheap, and most people just don't have them. It's also pretty reasonable that it would take a super long time to figure out someone logging in with a username and password was "hacked".

  • It honestly blows my mind how many people on Lemmy are completely incapable of interpreting sarcasm. I know Poe's Law and all that, but this is pretty clearly a joke.

  • So is the US slipping into Civil War?

  • I, for one, welcome the formation of the New California Republic. Washington and northern Oregon can join too if they'd like.

  • Netflix Is Doing Great, So It's Killing Off Its Cheapest Ad-Free Plan for Good

    Jump

  • Never heard that acronym. Is it torrent client, Radarr, Sonarr, and Homarr? I've been running that for a bit now, and it keeps pulling me ever closer to buying a small server rack.

  • Laccino is pretty great all year

  • I'd highly recommend trying Vietnamese coffee. I'm the same way in that any coffee will do, but it's become my latest vice. It's a great middle ground between espresso (which I find a bit too strong) and drip/pour over coffee (which I like, but I prefer something a bit stronger). It's made with slightly compressed grounds in a phin (Vietnamese coffee filter) and is basically just a slower pour over that you mix with a tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk.

    It's a very interesting flavor and tends to be much easier on your stomach because of the lower volume of coffee.

  • They hit my mom's account with the wrong household bullshit when my little cousin who lives down the street tried watching a show. Thankfully I get it free with my phone plan and never use it, so I just gave her my account.

    I'm stupidly close to buying an 18 TB HDD from Amazon, setting up Overseerr on my home server on top of the *arr/Plex stack I run, and giving everyone a login. I have gigabit so it's not like I can't support even Blu-ray playback. I figure if I set the torrent to delete after 2 weeks of not watching we'll never run out of space.

  • Sam Altman Says AI Using Too Much Energy, Will Require Breakthrough Energy Source

    Jump

  • In fairness the computing world has seen unfathomable efficiency gains that are being pushed further with the sudden adoption of arm. We are doing our damnedest to make computers faster and more efficient, and we're doing a really good job of it, but energy production hasn't seen nearly those gains in the same amount of time. With the sudden widespread adoption of AI, a very power hungry tool (because it's basically emulating a brain in a computer), it has caused a sudden spike in energy needed for computers that are already getting more efficient as fast as we can. Meanwhile energy production isn't keeping up at the same rate of innovation.

  • Let's be honest, how many hours do you really work per day?

    Jump

  • I average 7-8 hours, but it varies wildly. Sometimes I'll be at my computer for 10 hours straight getting tons of work done, and other times I'll not be getting much done and just be done for the day at noon.

    Last Friday I discovered some bullshit in how the Outlook APIs handle online meetings. If you directly create an online meeting you can then make a GET request for the meeting id and password. However, if you create an event with the online meeting parameter set to true then whatever is backing the GET request no longer works. This all completely ignores that the credentials should be returned as a response to the initial request to create the meeting. Needless to say that was a leave at noon day.

  • Gen Z is prioritizing living over working because they've seen 'the legacy of broken promises' in corporate America, a future-of-work expert says

    Jump

  • As an older Gen Z I concur. Even those of us who aren't completely fucked are extremely anti-corporate with little loyalty to any job. There's a guy named Jordan Howlett who I feel sums up the average Gen Z attitude towards all the bullshit in the world really well.

    Don't get me wrong I still work hard and try to do well at my job, but the second I hit my time for the day I'm gone. Work is strictly transactional. No one expects their employer to give them money for time they didn't work, so I ain't about to give my employer time for money they didn't give me. They'll also fire my ass the second they need a stock bump, so I'll be damned if I'm gonna stick around if I find something better.

  • creating an alias of a command with plenty special characters

    Jump

  • Not at my computer so I can't double check, but I believe you can replace the outer double quotes with single quotes. I'd also remove the spaces before and after the equal sign for the alias. I don't know about fish but I know bash doesn't like when you add spaces there.

  • Gen Z is choosing not to drive

    Jump

  • My partner and I live in Silicon Valley and it's cheaper for us to rent a car when we need it than to own one. We'd use it maybe twice a month so rentals just make more sense. We're moving to San Francisco soon though and at that point we'll likely never own a car and just transit everywhere.

  • I grew up surrounded by guns and they're fun as hell. I've considered buying my own many times but ultimately I don't want the responsibility with gun ownership.

    The most well equipped people I knew would never talk about them with anyone except those they knew well or while shooting the shit with the range master when we'd go shooting. Posting a picture or even just taking a group picture with firearms would be a massive no. At absolute most we'd take a group picture at the range, but no guns or the range itself would be in site.

  • Hollywood Keeps Reminding Us Why We Need Physical Media More Than Ever

    Jump

  • Think of The Pirate Bay, but you have to get an invite to make an account to be able to leech/seed.

    It's a private torrent tracker with strict rules (you must seed every show you download for at least 24 hours, and every season pack for 5 days, both within 2 weeks). If you break that rule you get a mark on your account, and after enough of them you get banned. As a result of these rules just about every torrent has download speeds above 500 Mbps, and almost every TV show you can imagine is on there. It's also full of people ripping new shows as soon as they come out, so new episodes pop up day of release.

    It's almost impossible to get into without knowing someone who's already in.

  • I recently got into Broadcast the Net through a friend of a friend and it is infinitely better than any streaming service in combination with the *arr suite and Plex. I had almost forgotten how much better piracy is until Netflix pulled their no account sharing bullshit. Now they get $0/month from me and that money goes to BTN.

  • Raspberry Pi is now manufacturing 70,000 Pi 5s per week, will surge to 90,000 in February

    Jump

  • Not the person you're replying to, but I bought an Optiplex 5050 with an i7-7700 for $75 to use as a server because an RPi 5 is more expensive and way less powerful. It even has a CD drive.
