I always love how the scammer always looks the same, like a true con man. Every time wall street just eats it up even though everyone says hey, he's a scammer.

But maybe this time it'll be different

What in the sad incel shit is this

People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.

Amazing that they never accounted for being offline. Didn't want to stick to the schedule that was set for a week of offline? Say it has to be online (it doesn't) but just say it does. Why not keep a copy of the weekly schedule locally, and then follow that if internet drops. Have a rule that says it will continue for a week offline. But it was probably done at bottom dollar

Ironically of you had read my other comment too...

Yeah it's important to keep perspective. To Take Two this represents material loss, millions of dollars potentially gone, ruining an entire marketing campaign and wasting shitloads of money. (Remember, whether or not you agree, that's their perspective).

To this hacker's perspective, it is a 100 dollar game. Do I agree with the fact that gaming has gotten insanely shitty? Absolutely. However at the end of the day it's a game, and you're gambling your entire future livelihood and wellbeing.

man I honestly do not know how these people are so brave. Seriously. They're going to be absolutely giga-fucked when they're found out, and it sounds like they're going to be since they're using OneDrive, Discord, and it sounds like their crypto address is directly linked to a known crypto exchange who validates IDs. It's only a matter of time. At this point they should be planning on leaving the country IMO.

Also note how they're asking for Machine IDs. We only heard about their existence a month ago over "security" and already the lawyers are using them. Don't trust non-open-source.

Take Two won't forget this, they go after mod developers. They're only a step down from Nintendo in terms of their legal pushes.

If there is no jail (which at this point I'd be surprised), minimum they're going to have millions owed. Guaranteed these are some idiot kids who are going to fuck up the rest of their lives.

Correct, "safety" compromises our privacy. Now you're getting it, captain shithead CEO! So with that in mind, there is no way we can accept these cameras.

Recently too. Delta was 200 bucks hub to hub. Had family at the other hub so went semi frequently. Checked the other day and it was 600 fucking dollars. Hell no I'm not doing that.

Of course their idea is to raise prices even more! That'll get people to fly more!

So much security through obscurity, or worse the dev doesn't know how to do it properly and doesn't have time to learn it. So many completely open blob storage buckets allowing full read write, cors * * *, I'll roll my own authentication, database with plain passwords. "No one should be able to get to there anyway"

Next week having closed courtains will be illegal. What's going on in there? Probably something suspicious! Why is your bathroom window frosted?!

Very validating to hear others who saw the same. So frustrating that when I was there I really did pride myself on my work and making people's lives easier. (I always am annoyed at people who are like "har har geek squad dumb" when they really don't know what we do, doing the simplest tasks for people who are too afraid to do it themselves). Sadly, it appears that all of that has just gone down the drain as the search for more profit has eaten up all of that goodwill.

I also completely agree, with Fry's closing and microcenter only in a few places, and then radio shack long dead consumer electronics is very sparse. Like them or not we need best buy as an electronics retailer elsewise most of the country is empty.
