CMYK BLYAT! posted:not really when entering a credit card number on a computer tho. the string of digits is much longer, entered more infrequently, and most importantly is used to enter a lot more than just that credit card number only. v mossad or not mossad territory where realistically someone that wants card numbers is just gonna buy them in bulk from someone that attached a skimmer to an ATM, not try to deduce them from wear patterns on a phone screen. otoh, this is samsung* and it's entirely possible they've had malware apps in their tv appstore that do some weird poo poo like record cursor position or something. obviously the solution to that isn't "randomize the keypad", but i could see their top tier engineering talent thinking it would be *the company that brought you antivirus scanning for your television

it is so incredibly easy to snoop remote control ir though that i don't find it that unreasonable to try to mitigate it a bit. it should be a pretty doable task to build a simple but sensitive device to snoop ir from all the windows in an apartment building at once.

seems weird to be mega worried about someone snooping your IR blasts to steal your Netflix password. unless you’ve already gone full bars on windows and reinforced steel door territory

probably there’s just an option to mark fields as “secure” so it won’t let you use a malware and emoji font keyboard for your gmail password, payment card information seems like you want “secure,” and on the tv “secure” means you get the scrambler, at no point was a specific threat discussed

i guess this goes here. jesus loving christ https://medium.com/@rossformaine/i-was-googles-head-of-international-relations-here-s-why-i-left-49313d23065 quote:It was no different in the workplace culture. Senior colleagues bullied and screamed at young women, causing them to cry at their desks. At an all-hands meeting, my boss said, “Now you Asians come to the microphone too. I know you don’t like to ask questions.” At a different all-hands meeting, the entire policy team was separated into various rooms and told to participate in a “diversity exercise” that placed me in a group labeled “homos” while participants shouted out stereotypes such as “effeminate” and “promiscuous.” Colleagues of color were forced to join groups called “Asians” and “Brown people” in other rooms nearby.

in any sane company the adults in the room would have shut that poo poo down ages ago if only to avoid the inevitable lawsuits and labour complaints. at google, if there are any adults in the room, they've long since been marginalized and are probably just looking to keep their heads down, because the executives clearly do not give a gently caress about labour issues, except to the extent that they can play syndicate with their fiefdoms

that's fine if they don't test other browsers it's even fine is they say that Chome is the only browser supported but blocking IE and presumably Firefox and Safari for no reason is bad.

Clicked a link to join someone's "Teams" chat for the first time the other day, got told I had to either download a standalone client or use Edge. Lol, sounds legitimate. (So I launched Edge then got prompted for credentials and had no idea if I could use a private account or needed one in their corporate structure and gave up, continuing to use email. We'll call that a success!)
