Yup, the rabbit hole is quite deep. That’s only the people we know to have been targeted by this version Pegasus, I’m sure the dark figure is much higher.

Unfortunately, as far as I understand it, not really. NSO and for sure many other companies offering similar spy software use multiple 0-day exploits to get into your device.

At least for the Pegasus one, a system restart seems to do the trick in removing it in most cases, although there are some reports on surviving even a factory reset on some phones…

The other question is, if you are not a person of interest like a high-ranking politician or journalist, you are most likely not going to be a target of an attack. On the other hand, you never know… and that’s the really scary part.

I’m sorry, but I really don’t get it… the bigger question is and always has been where can I watch it.

It was a bit easier during the beginning of the streaming era, but never that easy, especially in Europe…

I need a stupid app (JustWatch) to tell me where I can watch a movie or show… so how is it easy to watch? It’s also not easy if I need 4+ streaming services…

I swear I got a nice and clean shot of Nessie… but unfortunately my camera fell into the water… such a bummer!

Oh, I see… I should’ve worded it a bit better.

I don’t know too much about these kind of studies, but it is based on a questionnaire filled out by the parents. I imagine it is quite hard to account for so many variables, since everybody interprets things a bit differently…

I’m just finding that fact sad that people but their 1-year olds in front of a screen for 4+ hours a day, that’s all.

Those poor children… this is really sad. And I’m really surprised they kept at it for so long.

Some people are really disgusting and simply don’t care about others… it’s a shame, really and that’s the reasons we can’t have nice things.

Guess what I’m humming right now after reading tetris?

For me it’s Dark World Theme - Zelda ALTTP (SNES) and Big Blue - F-Zero (SNES).

And in general the Zelda OST.

Perhaps, they added, Apple could add a warning message when using the Control Panel toggles that alerts the user that tapping on its Bluetooth icon doesn’t completely shut off Bluetooth and their iPhone can still interact with proximity-activated beacons, such as Bochs’ contraption. So they are saying “off” isn’t really off if you do it in the control center, you have so go into settings to completely turn it off.

I don’t know if it turns itself black on (blue) when something is trying to connect.

I was indeed blaming the end users. Yes, the bluetooth off thing on apple devices is super annoying and I don’t know why they still force it…

Bluetooth is off, so maybe the notification is legit from apple and needs authority for a connection? The thing is, why would you connect to an Apple TV when you are not at home? Or share your password with another device when nobody asked you in person (e.g. WiFi password)?

Form my understanding, this falls into the same category as phishing SMS or mails. You as a user need to know if this is legit or not.

The target audience for this are not people here on lemmy… it’s our parents, grandparents and more in generally people who are not tach savvy… and/or just don’t care.

This is why we need to make people aware of this and teach them how to respond, basically not to click on everything you see. I’m still doing this in my family and I’m very proud of my 80 year old grandma, that dodged a few very convincing scams. :)

And haha, I never thought of backdoors, but yes, they are also produced by humans.

And once again, the weakest link in the security chain are humans…

surprised pikachu face - who would’ve thought?

Not too surprised tbh.

But what will happen to the console market in 10 years? Does it shift to a subscription model and you choose games via your TV and everything is streamed?

But I’m glad CoD will still be around - at least some constant I can rely on haha
