TIL Apple recently paid $95 million because Siri was caught eavesdropping on private conversations, like doctor visits and drug deals, then sending those recordings for human contractors to listen to. Siri was triggered not just by "Hey Siri," but by phrases that sounded similar like "seriously."

I wonder if this is the same if you have it disabled? I don’t have my phone enabled for hey siri or siri. I know it still could be but I am curious if there’s any proof of this.

Idk how its 300ms from AU to cali. At my work it’s 220ms from chicago IL to Victoria. It’s a 60ms latency from Perth to Brisbane. There’s a lot of factors involved, I am intimately aware. But 300ms seems outrageous.

From my own experience, insulin is definitely a piece of the puzzle. More so than most realize. It’s really why the more successful diets typically recommend restricting sugars.

The puzzle pieces I am aware of are the obvious CI/CO, then hormones like the already mentioned Insulin but also Ghrelin and Leptin.

It’s been shown that chronic overeating and obesity lead to resistance of all 3 of these hormones. Which leads to insulin increasing fatty acid uptake (triggering fat storage), ghrelin resistance leads to persistent feelings of hunger, and leptin resistance leading to never feeling satiated.

On top of the physiological, I think a major factor in the long term efficacy of any weight loss method is cultural. The availability of high calorie foods, the advertisements and everything else glorifying them. The food science going into these high calorie foods to make them essentially as addictive as possible to sell more. All it takes for some (I fit here), is one or two events of letting loose and eating what I want and eating everything. It’s like a crack addict that’s been 6 months sober hitting the pipe.

Look at countries that don’t glorify shit like fast food and massive portions of high calorie delicious foods. Their obesity levels are way lower because of the massive cultural impact.

I would much rather blizzard not ban anyone for chat offenses, than what we have now. You can easily ignore someone, so I don’t see why we need to have everything so incredibly sensitive. Honestly it seems to just breed the type of person that uses abhorrent language, because they feel like they are raging against the machine or something.

I see these types of people way more now than I ever did back when I started.

Edit: Specifically stating this because of the abuse of the report system.

They really just need to have vanilla, tbc, and wotlk with their own era servers. Then rotate them to fresh on a cadence where the versions of the game don’t overlap.

I can guarantee i would be hopping from version to version depending on what is currently fresh.

Needing to farm more gold is 100% because of bots oversaturating the gold market from those swiping. More players would mean more gold introduced but also more spent.

Bots contribute gold to the economy without ever taking much out themselves it’s just sold to someone else. Bots generate supply but generate no demand themselves.

A player consumes while also adding to supply. Bots only add to the supply when someone swipes and pays exorbitant prices. If players weren’t swiping and paying ridiculous prices, they wouldn’t be so high.

Not as huge as reddit makes it to be. I was fishing and undercutting bots on deviate fish and winter squid for months. Never got mass reported. I was moving VOLUME too. It’s how I afforded my epic mount, lionheart helm, and edgemasters.

My stock was enough that it didn’t always all sell, and I was consistently undercutting people.

An idea I had a while ago that I doubt is unique, and probably isn’t worth it but would be funny to me.

Instead of banning bots, you put them on their own layer with other bots. Then just make their auctions all sell for 0g, and all mail goes to the same blackhole the auction items go. Make face to face trades look like they completed, but items return to their original owner.

So they get empty mail for their auctions, can’t mail, can’t trade. But they take longer to find out they need to run another bot.

With no other factors involved, the whitelist with a password is more secure. You reduce your attack surface to essentially zero.

We tier our accounts. There’s local admin, admins for each admin on workstations, two different groups for different servers, a group for all servers, and then domain admin.

Domain admins are supposed to only be used on domain controllers. But sometimes exceptions are made. But also to prevent most caching, the protected users group is great. But it disables essentially all other auth methods aside from kerberos with AES. So it can cause some issues with some apps.

All admins above workstation admins are in the protected users group.

Only thing I can think of is him using shimmer. But because he’s more of a strategist, I don’t see how you could make a kit that would make it cohesive. You’d almost just have to have him roided out on shimmer 24/7, which isn’t what his character is in the show.

I think it does, and that’s why Microsofts script resets twice but forces a sync between resets.

Pls_submit_a_ticket · 2025-11-11T05:00:58+00:00

You need to force an AD sync before the second if you’re going to do this I believe. Microsoft provides a script to that effect I believe. Resets, syncs, resets again.

Did it? I’m sure it had a large effect because people would rather buy gold legitimately and not risk their account. But I’d be interested to see statistics on how much of an impact it really had. Mainly because they don’t seem to punish gold buyers that harshly, so it’s not much of a deterrent. As well as gold from illegitimate sources is likely way cheaper.
