Because usually those are masquerading as legitimate apps.

Real example: Google allows "Muhammad mahmood ali" from Pakistan to run fake ads pretending to be a more famous corporation (flagged, google replied that this individual isn't breaking the TOS somehow, flagged again, the bot replied that yes, that phishing page doesn't break AdWords TOS - probably the scammers are serving different content according to the IP address)

When someone searches for "dji app", they get an ad that looks legitimate and goes to a fake landing page where they say to download and install this apk, showing a fake "100% safe and trusted" logo.

So, they can't say the list of the infected apps, because the real apps aren't affected. Someone could have been tricked by a fake ad to install an infected version of "bank of America" but the real app is clean

I made something crude with python and flask, but it's only to print address labels, always the same settings (paper size and so on)

So i just put a textbox, press the button and it prints there.

When printing generic stuff, you would need to set paper type, paper size, color or BW, if have both sides printed, if printing from a specific tray, then some kind of user authentication (i am lazy and i didn't care about privacy so i used cloudflare access), so the complexity becomes much bigger.

Before making my crude script I searched long time for a free or cheap solution, but I didn't find. If you find, let me know

ah, good to know

It's the same for the United States and their secret no fly list

Watched that company. They make cheap ad filled copycat games. They can't be bothered to spend one day on filtering the words from the free dictionary that they used. Same for the support email, they are too busy counting the ad money, there's nobody reading them

You call the restaurant and explain the reason, they would be super happy to mark as cancelled on Yelp, but still keep booked on their system: Yelp is not giving this service for free, but they charge a lot of money on each single reservation.

And hopefully realize to stop offering the service at all

In our country the national do not call registry is fake.

We are so smart that we gave the management of it to a "non profit" foundation that charges legal call centers millions of euros. It's 10000x cheaper to ignore the law and call people illegally from abroad. If get caught (very hard as numbers are spoofed, not illegal to spoof a number) pay the slap on the wrist and continue operating illegally

Because apparently it's a problem only when a Chinese company does it. There are no problems at all when it's GM, Toyota or Ford moving factories from the USA to Mexico for cost cutting reasons

He actually did that. It's not me saying "huh but at least fdm is less toxic than resin".

If you make a 20 minutes video about air quality and smells when 3d printing filaments it's a bit ridiculous to insert a sponsored segment saying "a low odor resin that can be safely cleaned with ethanol" like if it required less care/protections

Kinda like UAE funding a movie against fracking.

idiot in the eyes of Capcom. For them, they're gullible people that need to be milked. Who cares if they can't access what they paid for?

Not laughing at the paying customers but laughing at Capcom.

This move is completely ineffective against pirates (previous IPA already available; future IPA will be just cracked)

Not to mention how hard and inconvenient is to jailbreak a modern iPhone.

Japanese companies watching their IP with the same eyes of Gollum watching the Ring

Many users bought Resident evil for iOS because it was working offline. Perfect for long trips. But a new update adds a mandatory DRM online check at start-up.

I wrote bought, but actually the word is rented. One day Capcom stops updating the games (and this is 100% guaranteed) and a few years later the "owner" gets "This app needs to be updated to run on this iPhone"

Meanwhile, people who pirated a cracked ipa, don't get any issue in playing the game offline. DRM exclusively hurts the paying customers.

Need to ship receivers to customers and those could be seized at customs if they're illegal radio equipment.

Then, new customers would need a VPN to sign up, and old customers might have trouble renewing with local payment methods

They made millions thanks to crypto bros buying the Solana phone (rebranded osom with custom ROM), claiming the free shit coins, then sending it to e-waste.

Unfortunately those millions weren't invested in new products but to fund the CEO lifestyle.

I love how the endgame was to trying getting acquired by HP for billions but that failed.

Everyone's (also humane ai pin) trying to get acquired by HP, the ultimate bagholder, expert in overvaluing failed startups

The share is higher than you would expect because they include all apple devices in them because the apple soc is capable of running ai. Of course who's buying a MacBook it's not doing it because "it's an AI PC". Should have included all gaming PCs then...

The report says Lenovo ai PC shipments went up 228% last quarter. Uh... They put on sale their copilot+ devices on the last week of Q2, then of course at the end of Q3 you have such high percentage. They could have said "10000000000000000000000% yoy increase"

No, it's not phishing, it's legit, the header match with google and the link goes to https://accounts.google.com/AccountChooser/signinchooser?continue=https%3A%2F%2Fadmin.google.com%2Fac%2Fac%2Falert%2Fdetails%3FalertId%3D3...

Why not just write the message there instead of letting me login to watch the important notification?????????????????

Can you notice that it's a bit leaning to the right?

One day many years ago I had too many drinks and being stupid and naive and I bought adobe cs5. I still use it on the same computer I installed it a decade ago. Activated and installed only once. Today they revoked the access to it. Clicking the link they say "revoked because purchased from an untrustworthy reseller"

Yeah... untrustworthy reseller, look at the invoice and see who sold&shipped that physical copy...

sold by adobe themselves

Contacted support, they said that they won't do anything about it because it's EOL.

Moral of the story: don't do like me. If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing. Never give your money to Adobe.

(it's a tablet in a smartphone form factor, it doesn't have cellular connectivity)

For reference, android 14 was announced 6 months before the launch of this device.

It's a bit surprising that Google still allows device certification with such ancient, unsupported and vulnerable OS.

All the marketing materials don't say which CPU it's using except "Qualcomm octa core CPU" - that means nothing as the description could apply to the Snapdragon 415, which was a low end slow system on a chip released ten years ago. Maybe it could explain why they're using an ancient version of Android - the soc that they're using it's a leftover found in some warehouse and it's already unsupported by the manufacturer; they're forced to use android 11.

"please don't buy our phones"

TL;DR: for a whole decade YouTube allowed a copyright troll to claim all the rights on a recording of a washing machine end cycle chime

The account of the copyright troll is still standing and it's not permanently banned

IMHO in this case YouTube should permanently ban at the first offense any copyright troll that maliciously claim as their property something that's in the public domain

Also: if it wasn't that it affected a big streamer with lots of followers, YouTube would have ignored the problem

Google artificial "intelligence" suggested to add glue to let cheese stick to the pizza, because a decade ago user fucksmith on reddit said so
