Capitalism bruh

Facebook is Meta, no one cares about Microsoft.

So the acronym is MANGA

There is malware that only captures traffic when visiting banking websites.

That’s some slimy ass wording.

Snowflake’s position is that the customers fucked up and didn’t secure their shit correctly.

Then TicketMaster says the unauthorized access happened on something “hosted by a third party” as if it’s Snowflake’s fault LMAO

Defragging is about… defragging: making the data contiguous (a continuous stream along one arc of the same radius) so it doesn’t have to jump around.

The 3DS got rooted by playing a music file. Anything can happen homie.

Take unlimited water and sell it

So what if a site had terms of use so they can gain that right? Would you turn off your adblockers then?

Jumping a turnstile is less theft than adblocking. That subway train is gonna run whether I’m there or not. On a site, you are more directly consuming their resources.

In any case, due to capitalism you can’t give companies an inch cuz they are required to abuse the shit out of it to squeeze out as much money as possible. It’s not enough to show an ad at the start of a YouTube video, now you have to have multiple unskippable ads at the start and also in the middle of it too. And that’s not enough either, now you gotta track people across websites, even if they aren’t logged in, to show more ads. And that’s not enough either, now you gotta sell user data because if you don’t, you’re leaving money on the table. It’s gross.

The problem isn’t necessarily “stuff not sent over vpn isn’t encrypted”. Everyone uses TLS. It’s more that you are no longer NATed behind the VPN egress IP. When governments want to assassinate anyone who touches a destination IP, having the true source IP instead of a VPN source IP is pretty helpful. For this to be practical you first need a botnet of compromised home routers… which they already have.

In a corporate environment, traffic that is VPN’d typically also undergoes better logging and deep packet inspection.

Usually in situations like this you might be able to schedule it super far in advance, and then maybe a week later call and cancel to get a refund due to “unrelated reasons”

Guess you don’t have to try hard to sell a product if people are addicted to it, be they cigarettes or fidget spinners.

“Have you seen this”

10/10 marketing effort

Life really was that easy back then huh (except for that whole racism thing)

So it’s the seller’s responsibility to say “BTW I got this for free so you should pay me less” even if the product is of objective X quality?

All these comment chains are bonkers, yo.

Back to the main article, the entire point was supposed to be that the guy was making money by being a middle man that spent their time handling logistics in a way that made it worthwhile to acquire a thing and sell it to someone who felt they were getting a good deal. That’s much more value than “herp deep I’m a landlord, where’s my rent”.

“Using their privilege of being a coworker of someone who is in a position where it’s more valuable to them to give away furniture cuz it’s more annoying to sell it” is kind of a stretch. Not that it should matter but the vast majority of my shit was IKEA garbage from 11 years ago.

No I’m talking about making profit by acquiring something for less than it’s worth (the proof of this being that you are able to find someone who will pay more for it, during a short enough time frame that it is worth your time to do so)

People are quick to shit on real estate “investors”, this is kinda the same thing.

I moved recently and instead of dealing with the hassle of having to haggle, I decided to post on an internal company channel and give away all my stuff to coworkers. Since I was going to get charged for disposal, having a random unknown coworker (presumably a trusted person) come to my place and take away stuff for me for free was actually saving me money. Plus I don’t have to deal with actual strangers from Facebook who would probably try and haggle last minute. I got value out of that transaction.

But what if those coworkers sold my furniture instead of keeping it for themselves? Is that somehow dishonorable? What if someone decided to have their entire income be based off flipping furniture like this?

And if you’re OK with all of that, why not keep going and flip houses? It’s the same shit. You are not improving the product in any way (and sometimes house flippers do renovate). Or do things magically change because of the Barrier to entry?

Where do you draw the line between this and flipping houses?

“yes, please keep using Jenkins” -every red team ever

Apparently a condo is an apartment you own. So they’re buying an apartment complex wholesale and then selling (not renting) individual units.
