So, in early 2000, ICQ was popular here. "Every kid" with a computer seemed to have it installed. I was not a popular kid, so I probably missed most of this, but I was once invited (or perhaps invited myself) to a kind of multi-person "group chat" in ICQ.
In this environment, which I only rememb...
I recently saw that episode again and had to finally pull it up on a map. It doesn't look that much like one (although perhaps it would qualify as the most penis-like of all the countries)
@JohnZhau are you familiar with the winter hats? SE does it every year
@JohnZhau I don't have any references for you, sorry. Are you asking hypothetically or because you have an actual compromise you are trying to track down?

They had a rubber ducky hat then which you get by starting a question and then discarding it
Oh yeah - I switched from Fiber back to cable because I was having the siding replaced on my house. The fiber literally came in through a hole in the wall, so the repair guy and I looked at it to try to figure out if we could unplug it and plug it back in easily.
T-Mobile tried to make the case that "No legitimate user would ever use more than 1 TB/mth", but the court told them to fuck off. "If you advertise unlimited internet, you have to offer unlimited internet"
They then tried to add small print, stating that after 1 TB you would get slowed to 60Kb/s, upon which they were sued by customer protection, stating that they advertise unlimited internet
@MechMK1 Good. Over here they just don't bother advertising unlimited internet. I actually had Cox add data caps to my account after I had already been their customer for a year or two - that really ticked me off, but unfortunately I didn't have any other options.
My home state (Florida) has about twice the land area as Austria, with a very large fraction of very rural areas. There are lots of places around here where the only ISP is satellite internet.
(although to be fair we also have more than double the population)
My suspicion is that the infrastructure cost makes it impractical to actually provide internet to a decent chunk of the population, especially in rural areas.
And the resulting lack of competition explains the rest
Who wants to take guesses at the source of this data? It's not a surprise that Ring outright denies the possibility of a breach. I'm going to guess that it is a snapshot of data made by a Ring employee. Or their systems have been fully breached, and the attacker just hasn't dumped it all yet. I definitely don't buy the suggestion that none of this data came from Ring
@TomK. Like I said, I never take buzzfeed news too seriously :) I've seen a lot of articles lately about people's Ring accounts being hacked. In all cases of course Ring has insisted their security is fine, and the breaches are the result of insecure password practices on the part of their users (which is quite possible). I have yet to see any articles where Ring has unquestionably been breached, and I'm curious if Ring has actually gone and gotten hacked or not
I read mods can see the IP of users. Although I understand the usefulness of being able to see connections between users... wouldn't a hash of the IP be sufficient?
