Ah yes, the famous Russian Number Kitty Stations

A TOS doesn’t give you the legal right to destroy someone’s property… At worst they could deny service

My personal theory is that it’s a remnant of an old system that was only accessible by phone (hence the 6 digit pin), and they simply grafted an online component on top of it

That’s normally my assumption too but surely PayPal has proper security, right? Right??

Air Canada’s online account system required a 6 character password, which was secretly converted via T9 to 6 numbers on the back end, meaning “aaaaaa” and “bbbbbb” were effectively the same password, and this was only fixed in 2018

Unless they’ve changed it very recently, Paypal still limits your password to 20 characters

The irony of a diverse set of people from around the world talking about an American cartoon and in the same breath saying that American only knows war is not lost on me

In the EU at least, companies can say whatever they want in their ToS, it doesn’t change the fact that you legally own your digital games

Chopping the heads off the hydra will kill it this time, for sure

Sega v. Accolade was about using proprietary code, Sega lost and the small snippet of code that was reverse engineered out of the Genesis was deemed fair use because there was no other way to get an unlicensed cartridge to run on the console

Nazi Germany actually had a more liberal view of abortion than the laws that a lot of Republican states are now passing (for reasons that you can probably imagine, but still)

Strong public housing would put most of the ratfuck kinds of landlords out of business by itself, if an affordable non-profit apartment is basically available to anyone who wants one, the private companies jacking up prices for pure profit now have to compete with that, and we solve the inelastic demand issue

I basically just want a smart watch to be an extension of my phone’s lockscreen:

Tell me the time, and tell me why my phone just buzzed, almost anything else is bloat that’s shaving literal weeks off of the battery life

How far the smart watch has fallen that 5 days of battery life is now “insane”, these things should last weeks

Why does every manufacturer fall for the IPS/OLED meme instead of using a transflective LCD (like what a calculator has)?? My Amazfit Bip gets 6 weeks on a single charge with the screen on 24/7

I had to leave lemm.ee because they didn’t defederate from hexbear, any even slightly political post got spammed with 300 giant shock images, plus they suffer from the nazi bar syndrome but with tankies instead of nazis
