I had a professor get upset no one had the book on day 1. In her defense, she heavily used the book.
She couldn't understand that professors would make students a buy a book and never use it.
In another class a student had asked about the book a few days in, the professor's response was "we have a book?" He inherited the class last minute and didn't have time to look through all the materials.
I think it'll be okay, Honey was actually making money from the manipulation without user knowlage.
Adblocks don't make money and users are (should be) aware that tracking links and stuff gets removed.
That's unfortunate.
Another thing you can do is to keep available funds on whatever card you use online low. If there's only 1 to 2k on the card, yes it'll suck, but it won't be as impactfull as your life savings.
You a might also consider credit card with a small limit (1k or less) and set auto pay to "pay full balance" every month. Avoid interest like the plague, (those cards have insane interest rates over 20%), but if you're always paying it off in full, there's no interest to pay. If I can't pay the credit card off in full (and I mean the full limit) when I "swipe" it, I pretend it does not exist. None of the "I get played next week, so I can pay it off then" - nope, don't go there.
Supposedly credit cards have better fraud protection than a debit, but maybe that's just another one of our many "Freedom" problems.
The main thing is you're separating the random websites from the majority of your funds to limit how much can be taken. If there's a problem, I'm dealing with Privacy.com and a couple hundred bucks and can still pay the bills. I'm not trying to convince ebayclone#71 and my bank I didn't place an order for 10000 waffle makers before the lights shut off.
And of course, I'm just some rando on the internet, not an actual expert. Not even in same country as you, so take that for what it is.
Good to know.
Password manager, and use different randomly generated passwords.
The real danger is having the same password everywhere.
Also pay attention to where you save your payment info.
Everything I do online is through Privacy.com, with limits for each vendor. My amazon gets hacked? Most I'm out is $100, steam gets hacked, there goes $60. A subscription tries to double charge, lol no. Free trial wants to auto-bill me after 7 days, its not happening. Funneling everything through them isn't 100%, but at least they're not paypal, I get notified when ever even a 1 cent charge happens and I'm not leaving my bank card on a dozen random sites I'll eventually loose track of.
make it blindingly obvious to the viewer that Breakfast Is Happening™
In others words "assume the viewer is too stupid to understand up cereal + day light + kitchen + after night time scene = breakfast."
That's one issue I have with a lot of newer shows and movies. Yes the older ones were guilty of it too, but now it feels like we're being spoonfed every detail. "Did you catch the foreshadowing?? Here lets play it 3 times in slow motion, zoom in on it, and have a character say "oh look, that might be important later""
The multi-colored stuff is probably cereal.
The yellow could be homefries (cubed potato's), corn flakes, or a big bowl of butter. (I like you egg theory)
The orange goop is probably oatmeal or one of these cereal that's supposed to turn chocolate, but failed.
I suppose. I was thinking more of 1 Chinese company just spinning up a hundred copy/paste apps.
I'm assuming they both work at same "evil" company.
The guilt would depend on the crime.
Did the roof collapse despite numerous warnings from the maintenance staff about structural issues? If the worker failed to report outside the company, yes there is some fault on them for inaction.
If the company ordered some cyrpto mining baked into their software, then the developer who accepted the task and implemented it would share guilt.
Sounds about right, From my understanding, they singled out TikTok instead of addressing the actual problem they claim to care about.
[Edit, another comment says its any app with 1million users. So now there's just going to be a hundred TikTok clones all under the same umbrella just different names.]
I wouldn't read too much into it, the chosen events just both had fire.
I think that's an education problem more than a review problem.
To the average user, those are unknown apps. I'd be upset to if my phone was auto downloading crap, especially the ones like AR that sound extra useless.
Having play store deliver updates is a great idea. Lumping them together with everything else is apparently not. There could be a separate "system updates" section to separate them.
