Ruffian Price posted:yeah the real question is are these all FB profiles or just the ones that were consciously created That tweet was a bit misleadingly worded. It's not "all facebook accounts have been leaked". Rather, the original post was "533 million fb phone numbers have been leaked and the cracker is selling them", and that more recent tweet was "All 533 from that leak are now available for free".

Remember the old phone book app you could install on FB to turn it into a Rolodex?
|
You had/have to add your phone number to Facebook to use TFA. In the sense that using it for SMS TFA also added it to your profile (but you could hide it). And I think you also need a backup phone number when using authenticator app, so this applies even if you don't use SMS TFA.

Facebook winning that case was correct and the non-insane world outcome. The guy suing facebook was arguing for an interpretation of the law where any device that can both store numbers and dial them (read: every single smartphone in existence) is illegal. The thing the guy was suing about was that someone used his phone number in a facebook account and they sent him 2FA texts. As interpreted in that case “equipment which has the capacity — (A) to store or produce telephone numbers to be called, using a random or sequential number generator; and (B) to dial such numbers.” means it has to include a RNG or call sequential numbers. Spam calls don't work that way anymore, but the definition of the banned thing has never been changed since 1991

Facebook deserved to win that case (I cannot believe I am typing that) because that plaintiff’s case was batshit, but it was totally possible to fix the statute without banning all cellphones.quote:The phrase could describe the manner in which the telephone numbers are to be called, regardless of how they are stored, produced, or generated. The Seventh Circuit ruling considers this as possibility ‘D’ and rejects it because no one had advanced this interpretation in the lower courts and because of the presence of a comma. Hardly dealbreakers.

There's also questions of risk tolerance. They may be aware that something like Ring is a garbage heap sledding down a hill of burning turds, but think that it's still worth it.

Not an expert on security but I work in IT and I am more technophobic now than 20 years ago. Our TV is just a TV. No IoT stuff, don't even use streaming services. Kinda starting to turn into a luddite, really. Only exception is medical science, that's 100% good.

I feel the same way. Having worked in IT for over 15 years, I have only become more distrustful of any technology that isn't fully under my control. If it cannot function properly without an always-on connection, I don't want it. The only real IoT we had in the house was our radiator thermostats, which could be programmed and controlled via ~The Cloud~, something I bought and installed in a moment of weakness ("how much harm can anyone really do with simple control of our heating?"). Those have now been replaced with simpler versions that are standalone and can only be accessed for programming via a temporary BT connection that you have to initiate with a button press on the device itself and a PIN. That is maximum amount of smarts I will tolerate.

As a computer toucher who wanted to have home automation I went with Home Assistant and zwave switches/thermostat/sensors. None of it touches the internet. There is no cloud. All the switches work like a switch, the thermostats work like thermostats. They can just be activated by the automation as well. Something goes wrong? Turn off the box running the software. You're left with a fully functional house.

You're left with a fully functional house. We did pretty much the same thing - light controls that all go back to being "dumb" bulbs or switches when the internet goes out or some service goes down. Voice controlled lights - particularly with some useful presets that span rooms - are just insanely convenient.

Yeah, it's a 1200 sq ft. condo which is basically half of a house build in ~1900. It's all mini-splits but they don't have any networking stuff despite being new. Based on my conversations with energy auditors most performant way to use them in test houses was basically to set a reasonable temperature and leave them the gently caress alone.

Thermostats, garage door openers, dishwashers, and even self-closing spring hinges are “home automation” in some sense. It’s just that when a particular piece of automation is really useful and relatively cheap, it stops being “home automation technology” and starts being part of the baseline for what we expect in a home.
