Amazing #bug find and #fix in the #android #software that allowed for a simple #lockscreen #bypass simply by changing the #simcard https://bugs.xdavidhu.me/google/2022/11/.. #google : Move fast and break things!
Pretty good #article on #mfa #security and #notifications https://xeiaso.net/blog/push-2fa-conside.. I'm really not sold on MFA being the answer here. It's cumbersome and encourages people to #bypass it. To #login to some of my #accounts , I need receive three phone calls. I never check the #number and just do the #operations of the #keypad without #listening . I even thought about #scripting this process.
#youtube are #trialing 5-10 #ads before you can #watch a #video https://twitter.com/sondesix/status/1569.. Madness! If only there was a way to #bypass this: https://github.com/danielbarry/ytoff
Apparently there might a #uk #general #election https://youtube.com/watch?v=wTs95bccmj0 #jefftaylor appears to think it is #bypass a #vote of #noconfidence ... A very large #gamble as they could lose power entirely!
I like how people have now created a way to #bypass #youtube 's #removal of the #dislike button: https://github.com/pgamerx/yt-dislikes-v.. It kind of reminds me of #gab 's #dissenter #plugin - which had so much potential. Something like that, #decentralized and #integrates into existing #platforms would be a game changer for sure.
Very interesting P2P #message #sharing #offline via an #android #app named #briar https://briarproject.org/news/2021-briar.. Apparently the purpose is to #bypass #internet #shutdown ! Very interesting #app indeed.
Interesting #robotics #idea from #caltech by using a #drone and #bipedal #hybrid to #bypass having to address the current #issues posed by #humanoids https://hackaday.com/2021/10/07/leonardo..
Looks like #us #congress will look to #bypass #democracy on the #decision to lift the #debt #ceiling and just print new #money https://www.axios.com/trillion-dollar-pl.. In this case, it will be a #trillion #dollar #platinum #coin with #arbitrary #value ... Fun! I'm sure *nothing* could possibly go wrong!
It'll cost about $150 for #amazon 's new #paperwhite #eink #display https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/21/22684.. The only thing I wish is that it is #opensource - but that of course is completely against Amazon's goal of controlling the #software and #hardware stack to prevent #bypass of their #store ...

Their #response is pretty reasonable, they essentially say they are bound by #swiss #law and they give a way to #bypass #ip #logging by using a #tor #onion service...Looks like #protonmail may not be so #secure and #private after sharing the #ip #address of #protestors in #france #paris https://twitter.com/tenacioustek/status/..
Looks like #crypto is screwing up #nigeria 's #economy https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2.. The problem is, people use it to #bypass #taxes and then the #government can't be effective... #coins are *begging* for #regulation - it's very clear that any form of #capitalism *will not work* if there is no #market #regulation ! And they want to introduce #britcoin in the #uk !
