Silly Videogame Forum Shitstorm thread
Raison d'être replied to Rammite's topic in Current Events, News & Politics
It's not a backdoor to bypass encryption. It's a firmware update that disables two features: the wait in between incorrect passwords and the auto-deletion of data after 10 attempts. This is so they can brute force it without bypassing encryption. Since it's only 4 digits it's easy as hell to brute force it once those things are out of the way. -

Your comparison is flawed. The owner of the phone is the company the terrorist worked for; they gave the go-ahead. This is like if you shot 20 people and the owner of your safe reverts to the company you worked for, who bought it for you. The company tells the FBI "Yes, you can search it." FBI realizes they can't open it, so they go to the locksmith who made the safe, and he refuses to open it because "WELL IT MIGHT COMPROMISE SECURITY FOR EVERY OTHER SAFE I MADE" despite the fact the key will never leave his office. The FBI has the power to make Apple create the firmware, as they are the only people on the planet who can make it, making it would not be an undue burden (it's a software company making software), and the reason is just (any reasonable person can see why the FBI wants access to a phone used by actual terrorists who actually killed people). All the FBI is asking Apple to do is to make a firmware update for this one phone so they can crack that fucker open. The order even says they have to do this on Apple's property, that they can remove the firmware before they send the unlocked phone back to them, and that the firmware doesn't have to leave Apple's property. Apple can destroy it after the phone is unlocked. Or they can spread it far and wide. It's their choice. All the doomsday talk about the FBI having the key to your iPhone is fucking moot because they won't even have the fucking key. Apple will. This shouldn't even be a fucking issue. The only reason Apple is refusing is because they think it will hurt their brand and are spinning this into "FBI WANTS US TO HACK INTO YOUR IPHONES! ISN'T THAT AWFUL? BET MICROSOFT WOULDN'T TAKE A STAND..." Fucking slimy rats. You literally could not make a more just and constitutional order than this if you tried. Here's the order itself. Pages 19, 20, and 25 contain the important bits, but you should read it all. Funnily enough, this might lead to phones becoming less secure. -

I find slamming my foot against the wall a lot helps in speeding up the recovery. Well, I can feel pain at any rate, and that's literally better than nothing. -

We didn't have videos, though we did have an 80s "textbook" which was the smallest textbook I've ever seen. -

You do not want Driver's Ed in high school. It's a semester of RED = STOP. GREEN = GO (unless there's a baby in the middle of the road). There's literally nothing you can learn in a Driver's Ed high school class that you couldn't learn by 10 minutes on a street and a quick google search. Your mother has taught you more about driving than fucking Driver's Ed ever would. -
I spent 3 fucking hours last night trying to get Far Cry 4 to connect to the internet, in the process forwarding ports, disabling the firewall, and disabling every service except the ones I absolutely need.
In the end all I needed to do was add an exception for my antivirus.

If you wake up after sunrise but before noon you're not even close to being on a bad schedule. You're basically wageslave on weekend tier. Not great but not bad either. Now going to sleep at dawn and waking up at dusk? That's long haul trucker tier, and it's one hell of a life. -
I had two dreams last night, one where I was with kids from my high school on a field trip to San Francisco or something. All I remember was that we went to a store and they were having a sale - if you bought 14 shirts they'd give you a discount or something. Unfortunately I had only bought 13 shirts before the teacher told us we were done there. Then we went to a cafeteria like area and I was about to sit next to this qt I had a crush on but decided she'd get annoyed so I picked a seat somewhere else (literally not even in my dreams), then I woke up. The second one had me and my mom playing basketball in the driveway when a young black girl about twelve came up and I guess I knew her well because we got along well and palled around for a bit. None of us actually scored a point, and my mom and the black girl disappeared somewhere. Then some kids I knew from elementary school started trickling in and we kept playing basketball. The hoop seemed to move around every now and then and I remember the end of the dream came when one of them - either Rocky or Eric - finally scored a point. Somehow the hoop was in an old wooden shed and with all of us in there it was pretty cramped. I caught the rebound and shot the ball out when all of a sudden I saw shoes clipping through the backboard. They deflected my shot and I was pissed even though I knew there was like a 10% chance I'd make it anyway. I don't know how but I imagined it was some other players in the game doing that, which I thought was weird since it was a free-for-all game. I didn't get mad or anything, just kinda had an "Oh you guys" moment and then I woke up.
