xkforce@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that gets a lot of hate for absolutely no reason?0·2 years agoOMFG there is no evil conspiracy by USAA and every other insurance company against pitbulls JFC. Pitbulls are just statistically much more dangerous than other animals.
xkforce@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that gets a lot of hate for absolutely no reason?0·2 years agoThese are multibillion dollar companies (actually they insure trillions in assets) whose whole job is to be very very good at assessing risk. You thinking you know better is peak Dunning-Krueger.
xkforce@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that gets a lot of hate for absolutely no reason?0·2 years agoI worked as an insurance agent. In the states I had my P&C licenses in, we were legally required to base rates on data. i.e statistically how much the company paid out in claims given certain factors. One of the things we based rates on was the breeds of dog people owned. Pitbulls and certain other dog breeds do not just have a bad reputation because people irrationally fear/hate them, they actually do pose a greater risk. Just like teenagers by and large, aren’t as safe drivers. It isn’t “fair” in that the dog didn’t choose to be the breed it is and some of them really are good dogs but statistically, averaged over the whole, they are more of a risk than other dog breeds are.

Is there a text format (alternate characters) that allows you to bypass detection?0·2 years agoThe fact that you wont give examples speaks volumes.
xkforce@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•T-Mobile sued after employee stole nude images from customer phone during trade-inEnglish0·2 years agoDude the goddamned phone requires that you confirm permission to access or manipulate anything on that phone. You cant just plug a usb cable in and fuck with everything. What the hell sort of phones do you guys buy that it just does that with no security measures?
xkforce@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•T-Mobile sued after employee stole nude images from customer phone during trade-inEnglish0·2 years agoYouve never actually had that happen if you think its that easy.
Guys no…
-
You cant wipe a phone remotely with your google sign on unless “find my device” is enabled, which it never was.
-
My phone does not just give access automatically to any device plugged into it. You are REQUIRED to give permission from the phone. Which cant be done because the screen is fucked.
-
Your phone SHOULDNT be accessible in this scenario because allowing any device to just plug in and download everything with no authentication is a security risk.

xkforce@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•T-Mobile sued after employee stole nude images from customer phone during trade-inEnglish0·2 years agoSo what do you do if you literally cant wipe the phone I.e broken screen? Just never have anything there to begin with?
xkforce@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Tech workers - what did your IT Security team do that made your life hell and had no practical benefit?1·2 years agoThe DOD was like this. And it wasn’t just that you had to change passwords every so often but the requirements for those passwords were egregious but at the same time changing 1 number or letter was enough to pass the password requirements.
Do people actually get mad over that? Why?
A lot of women are still taught from a young age that much of their identity should be being a mother. And some of them (usually highly religious) are taught that it is worth dying to be a mother to multiple children.
