Great movie. Assuming that data is basically a tool for doing PsyOps, it certainly puts the social networks operated by for example Chinese companies in a different light. That would mean total control. Could you imagine if the Silicon Vall

They gotta fill the whole spectrum of people, I suppose. As long as there is something for me, I am satisfied and I do find a gem of documentary once in a while or an old movie, I didn't watch for a long time.

If it works, it works. I remember standing at the base of the new Tencent double tower, when it was being constructed. They were almost done with the concrete skeleton and the beams looked all crooked standing there looking up at the struct

I remember one of these guys from back in the early computing days. He would go after young kids for pirating c64 games. What a prick.

I once contracted at a company that gave out random three letter initials to people. Prized ones were initials such as SQL, TCP and the like.

I now know how that woman at the end of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" must have felt... That movie might have been a metaphor for corporate work places.

I understood it as if they used GSuite as well. How would 200 independent Google accounts be shut down, if one of them violated the terms. That sounds like an even bigger problem then..

That might be my fault. I worked on the tcpip and sms protocol stacks for the 55 and 65 series Siemens phones.. Sorry.. I know of at least one small Easter egg if anyone has a S65 lying around somewhere. I don’t believe it was discovered by

Actually the reply to the ping originates from the network itself and not the phone and it would work with any class of SMS - you just need to set the “delivery receipt” bit in the SMS. Then the network will send a receipt to the sender whe

Don’t use strongVPN. They shared my info. Got a letter from some Hollywood lawyers after someone had been running a torrent download over my VPN (would share my WiFi on and off from my phone with visiting colleagues, if they had trouble wit
