There was a common issue with a local ISP that their default wifi router passwords were based on the router’s MAC address.

I scanned the wifis I could reach from my flat and found one that was vulnerable. Now I didn’t know who that wifi belonged to. I would have had to knock on everyone’s door, asking everyone if it’s their wifi. Couldn’t be bothered doing that and looking stupid doing so.

So instead I logged into their wifi and from there into their router config web page (it also had the default credentials admin/admin) and changed the SSID to [old SSID]_hacked.

The day after they had changed the SSID back and changed the password.

Wasn’t reddit the digg ripoff?

IIRC digg was the old reddit until it collapsed for being shitty.

All of that is under the umbrella term of ethical hacker. Black/grey/white hat are some very outdated and unclear terms, and also terms that non-tech people don’t really understand.

Ethical hacker is a term that lay people also understand and because of that it has replaced the rest of these terms.

(And also, “ethical hacker” encompasses both the grey and white hat. So it’s not an equivalent term to “grey hat”.)

From what I read, Microsoft is planning to kick anti-cheat out of the Windows kernel too, so maybe that will help on the Linux side as well.

That’s what you think is good about hacking? That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works. That’s what you get when you get your education from TV.

Hacking means “misusing/modifying crap to work how you want”.

Ethical hacking is e.g. modifying devices you own to run software you want, like e.g. running homebrew software on a game console. It is finding and reporting security vulnerabilities so that companies can improve their security. It is modifying software or devices to e.g. removing privacy problems or tracking.

And ethical hacking and law-abiding hacking aren’t the same either, since some ethical hacking activities might be illegal (e.g. violating restrictions on modifying devices) and some legal hacking activities might not be ethical (e.g. using legal hacking to dox people).

Some sci-fi comes true. Sadly usually only the dystopian ones.

I’m kinda surprised that pretty much nobody who commented here seems to have understood the point of the post.

It wasn’t about readability at all.

It was about designing APIs that the IDE can help you with.

With RTL syntax the IDE doesn’t know what you are talking about until the end of the line because the most important thing, the root object, the main context comes last. So you write your full statement and the IDE has no idea what you are on about, until you end at the very end of your statement.

Take a procedural-style statement:

len(str(myvar))

When you type it out, the IDE has no idea what you want to do, so it begins suggesting everything in the global namespace starting with l, and when you finish writing len(, all it can do is point out a syntax error for the rest of the line. Rinse and repeat for str and myvar.

Object-oriented, the IDE can help out much more:

myvar.tostring().length()

With each dot the IDE knows what possible methods you cound mean, the autocomplete is much more focussed and after each () there are no open syntax errors and the IDE can verify that what you did was correct. And it you have a typo or reference a non-existing method it can instantly show you that instead having to wait until the end of the whole thing.

It’s like pidgeon chess, isn’t it?

Things are clear and well-studied, but people like you think that ignorance is a virtue and that something that you don’t know can’t be known by anyone else.

Well, the answer to your curiosity is there. No need for further wondering, same as you don’t need to wonder wheter the sun will rise tomorrow. We know.

But you insist on wondering even though the knowledge is already there.

So why are you still claiming that it’s a “casual statement of curiosity about the future”, when the result is already there?

The terminology you use and the insistence of ignoring factual knowledge that we have claiming “you are just wondering” or “just curious” or “just asking questions” is identical to the tactics used by conspiracy theorists and antivaxxers.

If you are persistently acting like a conspiracy theorist and antivaxxer, why are you surprised you are treated like one?

Wondering without asking a question is called “Trying to spread misinformation and backing out when being called out”.

I understand what you are wondering and I gave you the answer: No.

Long-term effects happen soon after injection and stay for a long term. They don’t happen years down the line.

You can also wonder whether the sun will turn green when you fart, and also there the answer is no.

You just responded to a comment that explained exactly what you are asking for.

Long-term side effects are called that because they stay for a long time, not because they appear after a long time. They develop quickly after the vaccination and stay for a long time.
