Yep. They even made a new 3310.

Uh, they DO still make dumb phones. And people still buy them.

This company wasn’t exactly targeted. It could have happened to literally anyone.

The problem is the cat’s out of the bag.

Open source image generators already exist and have been widely disseminated worldwide.

So all you’d end up doing is putting up a roadblock for legitimate uses. Anybody using it to cause harm will not be seriously impeded. They can just pick up the software from a Russian/Chinese/EU host or less official distribution methods.

It would be as effective as the US trying to outlaw the exporting of strong encryption standards in the 90s. That is to say, completely ineffective and actually harmful. Enemies of the US were still using strong encryption anyway.

Would it be a crime to have access to the software, or would they need to catch the criminals with the images and video files?

Problem with the former is that would outlaw any self hosted image generator. Any image generator is capable of use for deep fake porn

It’s not specific to e-girls. Can be twitch streamers, bloggers, etc

I mean personally I think it’s closer to those point and click adventure games, just shrunk down to be appropriate for a handheld of the day

EAC doesn’t open up ports into your network as far as I’m aware.

No but the game code does. And that game code also interacts with EAC. You can argue it’s a bug in Apex Legends, and it would be that too, but the fact is that EAC shouldn’t be executing arbitrary commands based on what the game code has given it, so if that possibility exists in EAC, it is still an RCE in Apex Legends and a kernel privilege escalation flaw in EAC.

The point isn’t for other fedi users. It’s to deter Threads users from becoming proper fedi users. It used to be those popups only appeared when something genuinely touchy came up. Now they’re used for anything the parent company doesn’t like as a scare tactic but people don’t realise it. Google does this too with Play Protect.

Stage 1 of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish

The government is already the one who makes that decision. The only thing new here is a line being drawn with regards to social media’s push towards addiction and echo-chamberism.

So…pornhub has actually had problems with CSAM. It used to be much more of a Youtube-like platform where anyone can upload.

Even without that aspect, there are a looot of producers that don’t do their checks well and a lot of underage actresses that fall through the cracks

I’m confused now. What is a “reader app”?

This is some of Apple’s own terminology. It applies to any application who’s main purpose is to serve up audial, visual or text-based media.

Apple allows these apps to access existing accounts via apps but not create new ones.

Conversely, not being on a platform with a very considerable amount of their current userbase could cost them massive amounts of subscribers, and possibly allow competitors to take their place.

So this looks like it’s based in Java code.

A public class means that any bit of Java code, including that injected by an attacker, can see and mess with the contents of that class.

A private class, in contrast, means that other bits of Java code are restricted to running the class’s predefined functions.

In theory it is supposed to help with the security of the data. In practice if an attacker gets to this point, you’ve got much bigger issues.

Totk can barely run on the Switch. It is pretty much up against the limits of what can be done on that hardware.

Not only that, they set a precedent that will hugely discourage the use of LLM chatbots too. Great for us humans though

So if we’re not talking about ISPs sending this out, then the reason that remote access gets turned on by default is incase the company sysadmin couldn’t physically get to the device, and they assumed the company had a firewall.

Companies almost always prioritise OOTB setup and operationality over security when it comes to defaults.

Ditto. I went one step further and put OpenWRT on mine.

Messed up thing is, some ISPs make it an absolute bitch to make this work.

Because these routers went out to everybody. Tech heads and idiots alike. It is far easier for ISPs to simply remote in than rely on the consumer who may be an idiot.
