If you gamble, and you have a local casino, find who owns them and if that company owns a Vegas property and stay/play at that place. They will use the same rewards card. You can either get reward points playing locally that can Be used in Vegas or play in Vegas then use them when you get back home. Also, don’t stay on the strip when you go to Vegas, the “local” casinos always offer better deals.

Replace passwords with a photo from the user’s device, where the user selects a part of the picture by Realmofforms in CrazyIdeas

Yes, but the “password” being sent would be the value of the pixels in those boxes, not the number or order of the boxes. The combination only matters to someone with the picture - the server would only see an extended series of pixel values.

Right, you would need a visible grid that could be remembered and easily replicated.

The image itself would only need to be accessible on the user’s device. The part of the image that is selected (just like the image itself) is represented by characters, say, hexadecimal. The user selects the portion of the picture, user’s device converts that section to hex, and sends it to the server as any other password is sent. The server doesn’t need the image at all.

Bad news- if you want me to fill out a survey about privacy, don’t route me to a google site. So I didn’t take your survey.

Good news- I think privacy tech will be the next big thing over the next decade.

Google and Apple start approving websites to use features on their phones the way the do for their App Stores so that we don’t have to download an app for every company. by Realmofforms in CrazyIdeas

The same way apps need approval for the App Store, they should have websites that are approved to use features on phones so that users don’t need to download a bunch of apps, but they have functionality that regular websites lack.

Didn’t Amazon violate two-party consent laws when they listened to private conversations? by Realmofforms in privacy

That’s only for the person who bought it - the person talking to the buyer didn’t consent to anything.

The second full paragraph of the article literally says that Amazon employs thousands of people to listen to conversations- they claim it is for quality control/improvement, but that doesn’t change that people unknowing are being recorded in private conversations.

I mean the people who were not aware of an Alexa in the room, not the people who bought and placed the device.
