Your advice demands a certain level of economic stability.

In a Recession, that ATM theft happens in broad fucking daylight.

In a Depression, it’s the police robbing you.

This. A man’s wife passed and they both agreed to essentially donate her body to science. He wont even be alive IF they can ever reverse her condition.

Her body is the experiment. Not his life. People move on all the time. That’s life.

I see what you did there. Cold blooded move.

While this is not completely correct, it is also not completely wrong. The thing is that password guessing attacks are generally high effort attacks because they have to be customized. Far easier to wait until Microsoft (or Google or Apple) mess up and then get in with a generic attack. At least Microsoft does it often enough. Or use mass-phishing for another no-password-required attack that works reasonably well in practice.

Best door-code ever!

Because the design flaws in TMI 1/2 are not fixed. And the thing has aged a lot since TMI 2 partially melted its core and very nearly blew up Fukushima-style. I recommend reading the accident report for a few sleepless nights.

Even worse: Most of the end-user computers run just one OS and most of the Mobile devices do so too. Ideal conditions for an internet worm to take over everything within a few hours. Houses of cards standing on sand in a location with frequent strong winds ...

Well, the human race will eventually learn a lesson here. Maybe it will be a tiny bit mire careful afterwards. Or not.

To add to that my settings of "telemetry: off" even survived a downgrade from Win10 to Win11. (Gets displayed in the settings, but cannot be set there. Needs some obscure "organizational" settings, which still can be done locally.) That means MS did not dare reset it and for good reasons. It would have been an actual crime for them to do so.

Ok, since come people are so clueless to think I am trolling. I am not: https://www.schneier.com/blog/...

This stuff is a massive security problem at this time. The AI pushers do not care how much damage they do and their fanbois are completely disconnected from reality. LLMs are not the servants you are looking for.

I guess that depends on who you are. There are people that endlessly watch soap-operas on TV. AI slop can supposedly reach that level. Maybe.

While freezing is a bizarre way to bury a corpse, this is still a corpse and there is no chance of revival, ever. The damage done by the freezing is exceptionally severe and irreversible, as there is no data on the "good" state.

Hence, who cares? Stupid people doing stupid things. This is just a stupid person with money. People with money are not smarter than average.

So they fold corporation on paper, walk away from the loan and open up a new corporation that gets to use the facility.

Dude it's 2025, by now you should know how this game is played.

In Europe, MS has managed to credibly assure it is all getting anonymized and aggregated. That was likely not a lie as they got threatened with a prohibition to sell their product (which got almost no press). In the rest of the world, obviously detailed data is collected and not getting anonymized or anything.

I forget which town but one of them immediately removed all the cameras when somebody did a foi request.

You're not going to find out where the billionaires are going because like Steve Jobs used to do they hide their license plates.

But your shitty little Republican mayor who frequents the local gay bar doesn't have the resources to do that. A

This. IRS knows they aren't getting much blood from a starving stone. Another reason why $400K+ is a reasonable threshold of income to suggest a higher chance of Federal audit.

Auditing everything from business travel expenses to the actual (private) plane itself to ensure it's being used as deducted is probably low-hanging fruit that rewards well.
