I agree. It would be nice if you could self host your own api, and keep these things from turning into useless hockey pucks

Doesn’t the price end up being the same if you factor in tips with Lyft?

Did anyone find the fine print on what you agree to when you use their service? I am not surprised whatsoever.

I’m guessing they did this change because the cost of giving a free service isn’t cheap for docker?

Does this mean the vote that was made will be over turned? (If it turned out a single vote passed it)

I recommend posting the articles as you intended to. You’ll never make everyone happy anyway.

This seemed promising but it doesn’t look like it had any traction https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8471

Does this passwordless future still involve getting a cookie in your browser that can be stolen and used from an attackers machine? If so, we still have a problem to fix.

I get the 1984 vibe this has.

How should companies defend themselves from insider threats?

Suing a journalist is not a good look. I wonder what other vendors out there will take up some market share from them after this nonsense is over. Hopefully this in the end this turns into a net positive for Krebs.

It feels like a lawyer heavily tweaked this to sound better than it really is.

I am curious what happens if you modify the transponder to send something other than 1,2,3?

Maybe I missed it but did they cover logging all keystrokes entered by users over the bastion? (In the case where you need to log into it first vs merely doing port forwarding)

It’s the other side of allowing a free market. Companies will do whatever it takes to make more and more money.

When I looked mine up I could see just about every job I’ve ever had. It also showed who pulled this report over the past 24 months. I see that my credit card companies pulled it, a background check company that my current job used, and also some random “TEST Batch Account” whatever that is.

SSN + DOB and you can find out how much money I made on my w2 for many years of my life. Nice.

I am debating on doing a ccpa delete on this data. I wonder if future employers will give me a hard time when negotiating pay if they can’t verify my salary this way? Also, will I have to delete it every time that an employer sends them this data? Awesome.
