Idiots will always idiot. Like the old stories of $3,000 toilet seats that idiots swore were government waste... despite the fact that said toilet seats were on the fucking Space Shuttle (IIRC).
People with zero sense of scale. That's the real issue.
Ruby Franke, a once-popular online mom influencer with millions of followers, has been sentenced to four one- to 15-year terms in prison for child abuse....
Oh look, it's a bunch of fucking Mormon psychos abusing children again.
How the fuck many times do we have to read this shit before we just outlaw Utah, throw everyone in jail, then let them out one by one as they're proven NOT to be child abusing cuntweevils?
Yes, fuckwit, toxicology reports are part and parcel of FUCKING EVERY INVESTIGATION involving an autopsy.
You have no fucking clue if this person was poisoned. You have no clue if they were forced to ingest medications against their will. YOU HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE HOW THEY ACTUALLY DIED.
Which is why an actual fucking professional that isn't a reactionary online cockmongrel does an investigation INCLUDING A FUCKING TOXICOLOGY REPORT.
If you want to accuse me of being transphobic while you yourself are a goddamn moron, FUCK YOURSELF WITH YOUR OWN FOOT, YOU IGNORANT CUNT.
The World Health Organization voiced alarm Tuesday at the rapid spread of measles, with more than 306,000 cases reported worldwide last year—a 79-percent increase from 2022....
Welcome to the real world. Every organization is shit. All jobs are trash. It's only a question of finding one that treats you a LITTLE BIT less like human garbage than the others do. There is no happiness. There is no joy. There is only wage slavery and the knowledge that when you die the blood in your veins will be used to lubricate the wheels that grind others into their graves.
I just received a new Fire TV cube gen 3, because my old one is malfunctioning. I know, I hate these devices myself, but it’s the only option right now, since a new version of the Nvidia shield isn’t coming in the foreseeable future....
You have an Amazon account, dude. Amazon already has your fucking information. ALL OF IT. Including things like card numbers, addresses, phone numbers, and your purchasing and viewing habits.
It pulled wifi settings from another Amazon device that you have, most likely.
It also downloaded your fucking information when it accessed the internet.
Do you really think there's some fuckin' rando sitting there doing nothing in an Amazon warehouse until the moment you order this thing, when they just plug it into a server and download your information to it?
No, it connected to your wifi and downloaded it.
Welcome to how almost every single electronic device operates.
If you're worried about miners or bots you shouldn't be purchasing invasive shit to plug into your home network. In fact, you shouldn't even have a home network.
Yes, that’s what I said; your amazon devices are giving away your wifi info to new devices.
No, they are not. You make it sound like any asshole can walk by and just turn something on and get your wifi info.
If you're worried about a device somehow being compromised between being shipped by Amazon and making it to your front door, please dispose of all electronics and go live in the woods. That level of paranoia is not reasonable.
My dude, if someone is able to just walk up to your house with a random device and hang out long enough to establish a wifi connection and pull out any sort of useful data you have WAY BIGGER PROBLEMS than someone potentially using your Amazon account to order dildos.
First of all, they have to already know you have that device.
Then they have to physically get close enough to it for a connection to be made.
THEN they have to hang around long enough for any sort of updates and shit to happen.
THEN THEN they have to try and figure out how to get any useful data from this connection, which is likely an extremely limited one unless they've already established how to pivot out of the device and into something else in which case they probably would have just done that through your original device anyway.
THEN THEN THEN they have to find a way to remove said useful information to a device that can actually store it.
All while standing next to your front door holding their dick.
It would be FAR easier to just leave a random USB stick on your porch and wait for your dumb ass to forget it isn't yours.
Or, even easier than that, just goddamn buy your information on the open market. They already have your address. It's not like you can't be found.
Have I illustrated quite yet why these low percentage attacks are the realm of movies?
Oh, by the way, the person with the device has to have received one that wasn't already tied to THEIR account in any way. You know, like by the automated system that sends these things out reading a barcode on the side of the box that associates device IDs with a particular account. Not sure about anything else but this was the case a decade ago when I bought my first Kindle. I'd imagine it's a bit more sophisticated now.
Go hang around a random apartment complex with wifi sniffing boxes and see how long it is before someone tackles you.
Honey, if you think a wifi password is needed to pivot to a network then you don't know what the word pivot means. At that point you're fucking BREACHED, BITCH. There's no pivoting, only ownership.
Ah yes, just jailbreak the Amazon device with phantom software that somehow has completely different checksums but still... has the same checksums.
All of this just illustrates you're an ignorant-ass that doesn't know how any of this works, wringing your hands about scenarios that DO NOT EXIST IN THE REAL WORLD.
If I absolutely need to get into your network I'm not fucking around with a fucking rooted Amazon FireTV I'm just going to CRACK YOUR FUCKING WIFI PASSWORD DIRECTLY.
Apparently I have all day every day to fuck around so why do I give a shit about it taking a week or two?
More likely, I'll walk up to your door with my phone in my hand and go "Hey, I just moved into the apartment next to yours and the wifi up at the office is broken. Could I log onto yours for a moment and pay a bill real quick? I apparently don't get any damn signal here either. I just moved from a fuckin' building where I had no signal, you'd think they'd have figured it out by now!"
And almost every time this will be more than enough.
Speaker Mike Johnson is facing international criticism over his lack of swift action on Ukraine aid, which is ratcheting up pressure to make a critical decision that will not only have massive implications for his rookie speakership but also for Ukraine’s ongoing war effort against Russia....
So according to your dumb ass absolutely no public servant should ever be allowed time off, should never be allowed to go home, should never be allowed to do ANYTHING as long as someone has a sad somewhere in the world.
It is, quite literally, every moment of every day. Your ignorance is fucking astounding.
Pick any time that Congress is not in session. There is ALWAYS something they could be passing to save one group or another. Painting this shit as "OMG CONGRESS DUN CARE" is the kind of garbage-tier anti-government horseshit that ends up with idiots voting for Republicans. "Well, if da gubmint dusnt do nothin' then why have gubmint?!?" You hear this shit every time Congress is out of session for any reason. There's ALWAYS some bill that just absolutely has to be passed even though none of it mattered six months ago. It's politically expedient to complain about it now, so that's what happens.
Congress is not full of goddamn robots, and their schedule is prepared well in advance. If you call them back to vote on this shit, you're necessarily delaying OTHER votes and hey, guess what, when they go on break there will be YET ANOTHER vote that wasn't done because they went on break that's NOW the big boogeyman bill that they should be voting on rather than going on break.
Fuckin' bleeding heart RINO accepting Federal money like the fuckin' welfare queen they are. We need to just separate from the US and start our own country so we don't have to HEY WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN I DON'T GET MUH CORN SUBSIDIES?!?!?!??!
