The FBI don’t need a back door, they just to find the plaintext default password some unpaid intern built into the product for testing purposes before Russia does.

before Russia does.

You mean admin123 one?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

asd123! is a very secure one we use everywhere

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In my experience, it's always P@ssw0rd

For high security substitute one of the s for $

I present Dual_EC_DRBG as a great example of "you can't trust shit"

But also CPUs and motherboards may be compromised too. Whether it's by China or the US.... It's a plausible thing. Intel IME and AMD Secure Processor amongst others...

I will never not roll my eyes when someone writes a plural with a fuckin apostrophe. Low quality, low effort.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Agreed. I'm seeing this more and more here. I would expect this from middle management dipshits who failed upwards. We're better than this.

when i see it, i just hope its someone who is not a native english speaker

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

This mistake is more typical of native speakers. Same as with using “of” instead of “have”.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah most non-native speakers never get this wrong. I wonder if it's because non-natives learn the language in a structured environment like school, whereas native speakers learn it by absorption, and everyone speaks english long before starting school?
Or maybe it's just because the American education system is absolutely fucked

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the American education system is absolutely fucked

I've always felt it's a cultural issue. Just about every kid I knew thought that school was the worst prison imaginable. It was something to hate. If you disagreed with that, you were a "nerd" and should be mocked and bullied for it. That was reflected in the media at the time I grew up too.

What I don't really get though is how people can read plurals every day 100 times with their own eyes and still not internalize how they work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could it be that if every kid thinks school sucks, perhaps it's because the school sucks?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I always thought it was due to anti-intellectualism. In America it's a thing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

yeah, but i looked at ops other posts and some of them are in french, so my guess is they are indeed not a native english speaker

I of no idea's what youre talking about. People write that? Makes no sense? But this weird of/have I recognized already

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Welcome to the internet. Spelling and grammar is optional here.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But the pedantry is mandatory

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes, out of hundreds of people who read horrible spelling and grammar, 2 or 3 might complain. If you ask me, the ratio is pretty low. For example, often posts will have a very short title but still manage to contain at least one obvious mistake. If people are going through the trouble of posting at all, you'd think they could be bothered to read back over the three words they wrote instead of mashing the post button without doing so.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

This seems to be a popular opinion, but that doesn't make it a good one

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I read this as "[A singular] company is showing [...]".

But i'm not a native englishian.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As the uncle of a five-year-old, I will never tire of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse memes.
