  • TIL that most phone calendars lets them change your input and contact people without your permission-even most fdroid apps

    Jump

  • Sounds concerning but it could also be benign:

    Add or modify calendar events

    Likely used to show events you've been invited to (automatically like how outlook does it), and or update an event that has changed (cancelled, location update, etc)

    Send email to guests [...]

    Send email when adding contacts to and event.

    That being said I don't believe the intent is malicious but I also haven't audited the code.

  • KDE did a funny

    Jump

  • I believe so, I calculated the area of the NHL rinks using lots of popsicle sticks, a flashlight (cause the lights were off), and a broom. In hindsight maybe I should have included a calculator but I ain't no nerd! /s

    Either way, that's a lot of land to cover.

  • lol 30 hectares of woodland... thats about 300,000 m², or 42 NHL sized ice rinks

  • Arrests Made in Project Lighthouse, First-of-its-Kind SMS Blaster Investigation in Canada

    Jump

  • An SMS blaster is a device that mimics a legitimate cellular tower. When activated, it causes nearby mobile phones to connect to it instead of a real network. Once connected, the device sends fraudulent text messages that appear to come from trusted organizations, such as banks or service providers. These messages often contain links directing users to fake websites designed to steal personal, financial, or login information — a tactic commonly known as “smishing.”

    They call the SMS blaster a Stingray when the police use it, although they dont use it to send fraudulent texts.

  • Atlassian Will Collect Jira and Confluence Data by Default to Train AI Models

    Jump

  • What a trash company (Atlassian)

  • If you use a VPN that support Wireguard configs(like ProtonVPN or Mullvad) you can use Wireguard official client to connect in the most efficient and secure way instead of the VPN provider client

    Jump

  • How likely are vpn (mullvad) configs to change over time? Will I end up having to constantly update them, which is something I assume the native app will do.

    Secondly, do the wire guard tools include things like a killswitch on disconnect so I don't accidentally send traffic if I get disconnected (eg when the VPN node I'm connected to goes down for maintenance)

  • Fighter jet

    Jump

  • We're in big big trouble.

  • I'm finally moving to Bitwarden. What are some mistakes I shouldn't make so I don't lose my account?

    Jump

  • You can tell me what it is and I'll remember it for you /s

  • What's the treatment for compulsion to intentionally spill things?

    Jump

  • IANAD but try to limit yourself to only being allowed to spill a certain drink and only on a certain surface. I've known people who had great success with boiling hot coffee and their crotch.

  • Anthropic’s latest AI model could let hackers carry out attacks faster than ever. It wants companies to put up defenses first | CNN Business

    Jump

  • This... Hear me out, we take all the AI companies, we give them each 1 PC. Their AI gets to have full control over the PC and that PC is on a lan with all the other companies' AI PCs. And then we have an AI deathmatch and the winner is crowned Skynet.

  • ‘There Was a Mismatch Between the General Audience Response and the Fan Response’ — Marvel TV Boss Says She-Hulk Was ‘One of Our Best Performing Shows’

    Jump

  • I liked this show right up to the 4th wall break.

    Jump

  • Haha that's awesome! Thanks for sharing.

    Anyways, that's a nice caboose you got there!

  • Bogus maple syrup from Quebec producer found on grocery store shelves

    Jump

  • In Quebec, maple syrup offenses are the only way someone can get the death penalty. /s

  • Artemis II Is Not Safe to Fly (Idle Words)

    Jump

  • large pieces of material blew out of Orion’s heat shield during re-entry, leaving divots.

    I'm not convinced that this isn't by design. The shield should take any and all damage so the shuttle doesn't have to. Its likely also completely unsafe to reuse a heat shield after its be used for reentry.

  • Artemis II Is Not Safe to Fly (Idle Words)

    Jump

  • this is 100% down to Trump wanting either a distraction or to be able to say “well I put someone on the moon”

    Ah yes, the 9 year old long-con distraction play.

  • Where to watch that isn't Sportsnet or cable/satellite TV?

    Jump

  • I havent been on sportsnet for a good while, but when I used it, there would usually be no ads. They would put up a screen saying something like "Commercial Break". I think i may have seen an ad or two but that's probably bad input from SN+.

    That being said, I stopped using SN for the same reason as op: constant buffering. Its like these guys have never done a streaming service before.

  • Spotify lawsuit tries to kick Anna's Archive off the web, without much success

    Jump

  • Why didn't Anna's Archive just tell the courts it was using the music to train AI? They'd have gotten off scott free /s

  • US bans any new consumer-grade routers not made in America

    Jump

  • for feds to use at any arbitrary reason.

    For the safety of the children you mean /s
