It’s about as dangerous as using IE in the old days, or Edge in administrator mode.

Idk about door dash, but my son was delivering through Uber and he got all the tips for his deliveries.

Cancel and demand a refund. Also tell them that they’re poop faces and have poop for faces.

They do get the tips.

Oh, that’s a good way to get them to ring the bell. I tried making them ring the bell other ways, but they never do. Uber Eats has a feature where they need to get a code from you to prove they handed you the food. I had several drivers leave the food at the door and then text me, asking me for the code. Fuck off

That’s smart, but probably frustrating as an authorized user.

The newer keypads make you touch two random numbers before you can enter the code, to prevent this very problem.

That’s still 256 possible combinations. Isn’t it?

We were all hoping that Red’s help meant Hyde wouldn’t turn out this way.

I guess it depends on where the beach house is located. I stayed at a beach house in San Diego for a week once in my 20’s, and it was fucking amazing! That was one of the most fun weeks of my entire life. The short 2’ wall in-between the beach and the house kept all of the sand out, and there weren’t any seagulls. We sat on the porch drinking beer, BBQing, and inviting people who walked past to join us. It was paradise.

That’s too bad. Apparently their holo lens was really good. But pricing it at $4000 meant most people weren’t interested.

I have an LG OLED too. There’s a setting for recommended content, or something like that. I turned anything off that looked like it meant ads or tracking.

So they recognize that the owner of the product is trying to prevent them from collecting data, and actively try to circumvent the owner’s security measures? This shit should be illegal, and carry a huge fine. You paid for the device, and it’s connected to your network, which you control. I’m sick and tired of corporations thinking it’s totally okay to be straight-up spyware and adware. Some supposedly legitimate companies these days make old-school computer viruses look down right respectful.

My TV is connected to the Internet and doesn’t do this. There’s a setting to turn it off.

“Ad enabled”

They were hungry, just like everyone else during 99% of human history.

It’s hard to get someone to understand that which they’re paid to not understand. Seems there’s all kinds of Facebook shills up in this thread.

Edit: oh, and would you look at that? Right out of the gate with the exploit stage in full effect .“Threads” has been an internet term for these forum discussions for as long as the internet has been around, but now zuckerfuck wants it all to himself. Now a billion upon billion different forum posts are going to inadvertently mention his stupid-ass platform.

Right… because Facebook has never bought out or destroyed competitive platforms.

Meta can’t even keep Facebook or Instagram functional. They get worse with literally every single update. New things are broken every time I visit. They need to take care of what they have, not go looking for other things to fucking ruin. Stupid-ass anti-trust pig dogs.

If you’re a senior engineer, then you should have a team of juniors doing most of the coding. Your job is to architect, peer review, meet with stakeholders, etc… At least that has been my experience. Unless you are on one of those small teams with all senior engineers and then you have to do all of the above, and the coding too. I’ve had that experience as well.
