I'm not saying I'm in IT, but I'm tired and read the question and thought, "Why are they asking about printers?"

My perspective is that people in the USA are more likely to THREATEN to sue, which a lot of the time is an empty threat, and a lot harder to quantify

I don't know if they still do, but Facebook used to count viewing a web page with a Facebook "like" button as being an active user

Twitter has always been "small" but popular with people who work in the media, so you hear it mentioned on the same level as Facebook by those people, even though it's never been any where near the same size

No, no, this is why I walk around naked. If they're going to be spying on me, I want to make them suffer

The memes were making fun of the fact that no one had seen it, somehow Warner thought that re-releasing the film would make the memers go to see it, but that would have gone against the point of the meme

I get personal choice, but if you are looking for privacy focused, wouldn't a browser based option give the developer less information than installing an app?

 

Basic cyber security says that passwords should be encrypted and hashed, so that even the company storing them doesn't know what the password is. (When you log in, the site performs the same encrypting and hashing steps and compares the results) Otherwise if they are hacked, the attackers get access to all the passwords.

I've noticed a few companies ask for specific characters of my password to prove who I am (eg enter the 2nd and 9th character)

Is there any secure way that this could be happening? Or are the companies storing my password in plain text?
