I think there's no realistic way the autofiller could ensure that all fields are visible+obvious to the user, so may as well just have the autofill bring up a prompt saying 'about to fill these fields: <bulleted list>, look good?'

Then at least a user has an opportunity to think 'why does it want to fill in my address wtf'

I mean that does zero protection against someone clicking through and maybe the real solution is to have the user just type that poo poo in but there you go

at work we just bought a 55" TV that is "a giant android tablet" since it runs android and has a capacitive touchscreen and everyone in the office but me thinks it's so cool and amazing and i'm just like "lol it's gonna get ransomware and become a $5000 wall decoration"

i wonder if it's been patched for that issue where just opening any kind of image on the thing owned it

or if it's been patched at all, actually

makes me think of that medium article that came out around christmas telling people to make windows stop calling home because microsoft could watch what you're doing

if you're paranoid about an os calling home, don't use that os

i was setting up my new ps4 and it took me like 4 tries to get the password right because it's a 15-character generated one and i couldn't see what i was typing in because of the password entry field

if you're gonna use dots for letters at least let the user unmask it like windows

why the autorun checks? do analysis tools like to just use windows autorun to start the malware in the VM? seems like a bad idea if its so easy to spot but I guess most investigators won't think to sit there and twiddle their thumbs just in case so eh

Bhodi posted:

I suspect this is a check to short-circuit similar to RunningInVMAndApplicationOlderThan5Days to prevent 'dev' builds (built after the hard-coded feb 2015 date) executing automatically. It's a way to pin auto-execution to only code that has (presumably) been tested to work in the build-test vm framework and prevent auto-execution for newer code, though it's a really wacky way it do it. I could see doing it this way if you have some sort of framework that you use for both development of new features and testing of the operation of mature ones, and your build system inserts that date into the code based on last tested-good configuration (or you alter it manually).

my understanding was that they really care a lot about pirated copies not appearing before your legit customers get their hands on the officially released version. long-tail sales have always been pretty garbage in comparison to launch day for aaa games, so you really don't want pirates cutting into those launch day sales

after that who really cares, but it's not like you're going to spend actual money on patching out drm later, since that gives you literally no benefit

Two months may not seem like a long time, but between 30 and 50 percent of most games' total sales occur in that time. Approximately 50 percent of the total sales of Spyro 2, up to December 2000, were in the first two months. Even games released in the middle of the year rather than the holiday season, such as Eidetic's Syphon Filter, make 30 percent of their total sales in the first two months. If YOTD follows the same trend, as it almost certainly will, those two to three months when pirated versions were unavailable must have reduced the overall level and impact of piracy. On top of this, since YOTD was released in Europe one month after the U.S., those two months protected early European sales from pirated copies of the U.S. version.

social media sites should have a 'duress password' the way home alarm systems do. When you use that special password, the site goes mostly empty for the user account so you can prevent to have nothing on there

the solution i heard once is where you have two alternate passwords, one of which has a bunch of stuff that's really embarrassing (fetish porn or whatever) but not actively compromising
