Almost any business that collects your phone number and email like that will sell it to third-parties. That’s why most offer “rewards programs.” They’ll make more selling your information than what you save through their member discounts.

Jenny has a phone number with all the digits you need to survive guerilla marketing. Works for email too

Payment redirection / theft: change a QR that encodes a payment address (bank, crypto, Venmo/PayPal link) so money goes to the attacker.

Credential/config injection: QR codes can contain Wi-Fi credentials, vCards, or deep links; a crafted payload can connect a device to a malicious network or add malicious contacts.

Dynamic redirect / tracking abuse: attacker controls a short/dynamic URL that can later be switched to malicious content after being widely distributed.

Sticker/physical tampering: attacker places fake stickers over restaurant menus, posters, or parking meters so users scan the bad code thinking it’s official.

App deep-link abuse / token theft: QR triggers an app deep-link that, if the app mishandles it, exposes tokens or performs unwanted actions.

Do you remember a commercial back in the day where someone is at a grocery store, and they ask "Paper or plastic?"

Then you see their thoughts and it's a montage of trees being cut asunder (for paper) and factories (for plastic) and the person is struck with the repercussions of both and can't make a decision?

I ask myself "Why would you develop the same functionality 3 times (ios, Android, and web), when just a good mobile website will do?" Games get a pass because of hardware needs, but for 99% of other things, it's so they can spy on you. For instance, Facebook got caught red-handed using the app in on your phone to circumvent Apple's tracking protection.

No, I hear ya! Sorry about the "RTFM" remark - it's a common refrain when troubleshooting, haha. I'm very techy and I too get frustrated with how much menu diving and tweaking seemingly has to be done. Some people love it, but I like simplicity, and I used to install this stuff! I now work in software tech for a company who endeavor to make things easier instead of using more complicated clunky programs, so believe me, I get it... the struggle is real for all of us.

The issue here is I think by trying to make it more simple, they've done tpo much, and removed the ability to tweak. For example, a bunch of automatic settings may have hidden the brightness settings.

It also could be hidden in the "expert settings" menu and uncovered once "contrast enhancer" is turned off:

Go to Settings > All Settings > Picture > Expert Settings. Select Contrast Enhancer and turn it off. Look for Brightness or Backlight and adjust as needed.

I had a yell-at-clouds-moment just yesterday!!

First I was pissed AF that I couldn't watch the basketball game that I wanted because oops I subscribed to the other OTHER paid subscription service that wasn't showing the game, and the NBA decided to split their games across several of them now....

Then I go to charge my phone and it started auto-updating (which should be freakin illegal IMHO)

and then I went to play Valorant with my daughter, so I updated the Riot client, linked it to my PSN, created a Riot ID, downloaded/installed it, rebooted my system as it requested, signed the EULA, then finally booted up the game......just to be told that I needed to enable Secure Boot in my UEFI settings just to play this one game?!?

WTF kind of DRM is that?!?

Oh HELL naw!! FUUuck-a-dat!! I went full-blown Angry Old Man Mode on all technology for a good several minutes

I literally hit my daughter with the "back in my day..." and schooled her on the beauty of this thing called the Nintendo Entertainment System, where we could go buy or rent games and they PHYSICALLY gave it to you in your hands, and it was YOURS to do with as you pleased....and there were no accounts that needed to be created, no long EULAs to [pretend to] read and sign, no downloading of patches, NO FORCED UPDATES, none of this crap. Just a somewhat buggy cartridge to play and enjoy till your heart's content (or until the game failed to boot after repeat blowing into the cartridge).

And it's only gonna get worse from here on, that's the sad part.

“Always remember, child" her first teacher had impressed on her, "that to think bad thoughts is really the easiest thing in the world. If you leave your mind to itself it will spiral you down into ever-increasing unhappiness. To think good thoughts, however, requires effort. This is one of the things that need disipline - training - is about. So train your mind to dwell on sweet perfumes, the touch of this silk, tender raindrops against the shoji, the curve of the flower arrangement, the tranquillity of dawn. Then, at length, you won't have to make such a great effort and you will be of value to yourself...

Stop giving him things to get mad about. Like, actively disengage with the superfluous shit that isn’t positively contributing to your well being. He’s a character in your head, you’ve got total control over what he has access to.

Tailor your algorithm, but pay attention to how all of the content you’re consuming actually makes you feel. I used to loooove criminal investigation shows and medical dramas, but SVU made me uncomfortably wary of people and Grey’s was an emotional rollercoaster that fucked with my cortisol levels (figuratively. I’ve had no hormones tested lol.) I actually started with the other content and my Facebook was the last to go, so it felt like it was a big thing but it was just one link in a chain of decisions to stop giving myself things to be mad about.

[-]

NightWriter500@reddit

I’ll give you that the algorithm probably isn’t in a healthy place; I tried to cut out all the politics and news after last year and just chill out with sports, but then one of my sports teams (Oakland A’s) was literally stolen from me, and the other utterly committed suicide (Sac Kings), and I was literally left with no sports hiding place. So I went back to politics and news.

And that definitely has an effect on my general mood, but I think it might go deeper than that. I lose sleep over general family interactions most nights. Just recently, my sister-in-law asked us to plan Thanksgiving, or actually told us that she’d been waiting for us to plan it and couldn’t wait anymore (not one word about it before that), so we came up with a plan. She immediately decided she didn’t like it and wouldn’t be coming. It’s relationships like these that I find myself just arguing with, daily, in my head. Is the answer to just cut them out? Cause that would’ve hard on my wife, and I think I’d still be mentally bitching them out for a long time. Is the answer to just let everything go and not get angry about it? Cause I don’t know how to do that. But this losing sleep and mentally bitching all day thing is maybe the worst option.

People who post videos that were recorded on their phone/tablet's front facing camera, yet they can't take a couple of seconds to flip the image so it's not reversed before uploading.

When I was 17, ONCE I started to leave a Target parking lot at night without my lights on and thought "Gee, it sure is hard to drive at night being so dark-" and instantly felt like a dumbass and never did it again. How oblivious are these people making entire commutes in the dark?

An even larger portion drive with strictly their daytime running lights, failing to realize that it doesn't activate their rear lights. You still have to turn your lights on! We cannot see you unless you brake, and I just know it's going to be suddenly.

It's come up so often in local subs, and a common excuse is "Oh, the mechanic switched my headlight switch off of automatic so I didn't realize..." That's not an excuse to be driving around dark.

We went for nearly a hundred years making sure that our vehicle was properly illuminated manually before just driving off. It's just a click, should be muscle memory for evening driving at all.

or get annoyed your kid is a pain in the ass when you refuse to spend the time and go through the unpleasant process of saying know and giving them consequences

LIFE will teach your kids these lessons eventually, and the WORLD does not care about your kids, so if you do, be the one to teach them, because it will be way less harsh (because you love them and will forgive them), and once they do understand, they will have way less years to look back upon wondering how many people they have offended and the opportunities missed as a result.

Ohai, poverty born and raised here. Even *I* knew by the time cell phones became ubiquitous that if you need to take a call, you step out for a bit. And if you can't, like you're on public transit or working somewhere in public, you at least keep your voice down sooooomewhaaaaat. I was staying at a hotel in Toronto last spring, and their restaurant is very very nice. My husband and I had a packed day, so we just wanted to get breakfast early and get on with our day so we ate in the restaurant probably within about 15 mins of them opening. Once we ordered, the only other table in the restaurant, which was near us, had one dude take a call on speaker just chatting. I was so tired and hungry, I actually barked at him from our table. He and the dude he was with yelled at us "what's the difference between me being on speaker and talking at the table?!!!!" just total asshole mode. Had never, ever, been called on that. But fuck off with that. I'm grossly overpaying for breakfast bc I needed every minute of sleep I could get and needed to be on my way within an hour. It wasn't a Tim Horton's ffs. My patience was non-existent at that time.

I'm not upset I did it, nor regret it, but living in the States that could go south very quickly. So I'm at the point where I'm not going to confront again, I'm just going to remove myself. Or in that situation again, ask to move tables. Please excuse my diatribe as well. My spouse used to pull bills (cash) out of his pocket in public and in cabs (international) when traveling. I harped on him for years about it, and he never heeded me. Then, an older woman in Buenos Aires came up to us in a scolding tone shaking her finger. He doesn't speak Spanish, I do. He asked what she wanted, and I told him she said to put your money away. It wasn't until literally someone else got on him that he changed course. If it hasn't happened yet, and your husband doesn't pack heat, hopefully someone else will remind him how disrespectful using his phone on speaker phone is in public. Public shame in healthy doses has its place.

I started ranting in Sprouts yesterday because the damn Mariah Carey has already started. We barely just finished Halloween.

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. My family actually gets along and loves to get together, and Thanksgiving is so much less stressful than Christmas with all the decorating and gifts. It's just make a big meal and eat and have fun all day.

My mother and I were talking today and planning on who's bringing what (I'm hosting) and we realized it's been 23 years since I cooked my first thanskgiving dinner. She had always done it before that (after my grandma had decided doing both thanksgiving and christmas each year was too much for her), but that year she said she had to cancel because she was getting neck surgery. I told her that if she was able to stand the 1 hour drive to my place, I'd be willing to cook, but I didn't have a dining room table at the time. My Christmas gift was early: she and my dad showed up with a dining room table and chairs in their truck. My boyfriend (now husband) helped my dad bring the boxes into my apartment and they built everything while my mom "helped" in the kitchen (she sat in the doorway, on the first chair the guys assembled giving me instructions on what to do). Everything came out great, and we still have the table and chairs - they have 23 years of scratches and stains and dents, but they're quite solid!

Christmas will be at my mom's - we started switching back and forth with it after my grandma passed away. Since it's midweek, we'll probably actually go on Christmas Eve. The extended family now gets together on a random weekend in December- My mom is the keeper of the host rotation, she's hosting this year, so she'll do xmas twice 😄

I worked at CVS right out of HS. ON the 4th of July, we got a box of Christmas lights in. I was told to put them out.

People who try to be polite while driving.

I had one person recently come to a full stop on a cross street that didn’t have a stop to let me go. But all they had to do was keep going, as there was no one behind them and no one coming the other direction. It took me longer to sort out WTF they were doing than if they had just drove normally.

Everyone i know has been told, repeatedly, that i do not have tiktok installed and i will not be clicking if they send me a tiktok link.

This has stopped literally no one from constantly sending me tiktok links. I just ignore them and if that's all they send me, i mute them.

Cameras at concerts

Put down your camera and watch the show

Let's be honest, you're not likely going to ever find any meaningful value from rewatching it. Few, if anyone you show it to will care.

You're probably right. I've noticed that if I so much as mention alcohol on any sub that skews a bit younger I will get downvoted. Mentioning parties is risky too. And don't you dare acknowledge any sexual experience because the virgins get mad.

It’s scary how addicted some people are and they get so mad when you point out they shouldn’t need to check their phone for the couple seconds it takes for a light to change.

I’m noticing the average amount of cars making green lights getting smaller and smaller because no one is paying attention and it takes them the same amount of time it would take a couple cars to get through before they even notice the light changed and move.

I live in a small town so it’s not too crazy. But I’d have major road rage if I lived in a bigger city. l

Feigned ignorance is sincerely pissing me off. You cannot convince me people are this stupid and unaware.

When it is called to attention, they pretend they have no clue and everyone else is so mean. It is exhausting.

Also, please require persons age 65 and older to retake the driver's test every 5 years. I understand the issues with this in rural areas and cities where transit is an issue, but if I cannot see your head over the steering wheel and you're driving 25mph in a 45mph, you are a danger to yourself and others.

I do the smart house thing, but it's basically a hobby, and I enjoy it.

But, I've worked in IT for 20 years, so I can set it all up and fix it when it breaks, and more importantly, I can set it all up so it doesn't fall to pieces when the Internet goes down.

A smart vacuum with a camera and a connection to the Internet in my house? I love the robovacs, but I block them from the interwebs right quick. And everything else that doesn't need it, for that matter.

I don't like "smart" stuff for myself either. My partner has a few Alexa devices around her place and a lot of things are connected: lights, TV, fans. She even has an app to lock her front door. I'll be cooking at her place and go to set a timer on the microwave or my phone, and she'll rush to ask Alexa to set a timer for me. I make my little jabs about it here and there, always met with an eye roll.

All of that said, she has a special needs child and these things have been very useful for them over the years. It makes things easier to remember, manage, and operate. Even if I have to do so begrudgingly, I've come to accept that this stuff might be redundant to me, but they're helpful tools for people built differently than I am. Someone else already mentioned they can also make things easier for the elderly and disabled. To that end, I'm less angry about them than I used to be.

My fireplace automatically turns off after being on for an hour so it isn't forgotten for hours, or left on after leaving the house. I can setup my lights to automatically turn on at certain times when I'm on vacation to make it look like I'm home. I can tell if I left my garage door open after leaving home and remotely close it.

Watching a youtube video is often like watching an extended commercial.

I agree with the tiny hand held mics.
