The child who mods down three of my posts in a row every time they get mod points has them again.

If the people who run this site wanted to reduce mod abuse they could do it any time, but they don't want to.

They only want us arguing about stupid shit that doesn't matter to increase the page count so they can show ads for shitlords to morons who haven't figured out how to block them yet.

Remember when this site had benevolent management? Those were the days.

There's a brigade of idiots who are mad that other people know more than they do collecting an apparent majority of modpoints on Slashdot. The design of this site's moderation system can't survive malice, it's pathetic.

If you're deleting any information you think might be requested later as part of a legal case, that is destroying evidence.

No surprise that pro-Trump Apple is pro slavery. They literally see those prior employees as their property.

I agree that decentralization is what's needed. I would argue that we shouldn't even have a president, at least not like we have one now. I don't think that the constitution ever worked well in this area; We just never had a traitor president before, so that part of the constitution didn't have to work so hard.

That guy is stupid enough to think that someone who criticizes Clinton is pro-Trump. You're not going to be able to have a real conversation with a cultist like that.

Recover is literally the opposite of backup. That means by definition it wasn't irreversible. Words have meanings, they matter, and you're ignoring them.

Even GP knows more about this than you do. If you have reason to believe law enforcement may request the data, then it's illegal to delete the data.

If an NSL arrives, you've either got other problems, or you've already agreed to assist the feds in spying like Microsoft did long, long ago, and the NSL is a legal cover for your actions which will prevent you from ever having to testify about them in court, with the excuse of national security as a cover. You don't have the slightest clue, which explains why you're commenting cowardly.

Lol looks like some maggot came asking and looked at it instead

These platforms are starting to let people bet on wildfire activity. What a fun way of incentivizing arsonists.

Read my posting history before you ask me that, kiddo

Put aside the personal data for a moment.

This also included all of the customer's Xbox digital "purchases".

Microsoft is literally known for poor security, including in their services. Azure was hacked at least twice where there are literally no logs, so Microsoft has literally no idea what was accessed.

It's unconscionable to permit Microsoft, a corporation known globally for incompetence, to cut off people's access to content they "purchased" because their account was hacked. Sure, it could be the user's fault, but it's at least equally plausible that it's Microsoft's. Remember, this is the company that built literally the only Chromium derivative that loads all of your passwords into memory on launch in plaintext. What if your account got hacked because some attacker who got onto your machine in the first place because of a buffer overflow Microsoft should have fixed twenty years ago read your passwords out of your browser's memory? Who's liable for that? Answer, NOT MICROSOFT! It's your problem, sucker.

Not to say that this is OK because HFT is OK... instead, HFT isn't OK because it's basically the same thing.

nothing actually gets owned --> claiming it was sold to the customer is fraud
