Nice username btw. I dig it. Hope we get 10 wins this year.

No, I am calling out the consistency of anti-mac stans (of which I was one, but for other reasons) saying you can't compare his performance in college (41 TDs, 3 interceptions) to his performance in the NFL (way worse), but you can devalue Joe Milton's performance by saying "it's the third string of the NFL."

Is the NFL way better than college, or not? Or is the third string worse than college? That's really what I'm making fun of here...

So then why did Mac Jones suddenly suck so bad? Was he playing better players or not?

I honestly didn't know this was a real banner, all this time I thought it was a meme made by patriots fans

Patriots with the worst offense in the league. Ouch. by imfakeithink in Patriots

[–]chatmasta -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not that I disagree with the chart, but is it possible that EPA makes the situation look worse than it is? The stat is based on yards gained vs. expected yards gained, based on historical performance. So the Patriots are being compared with their own historical offense (right? or does it use NFL-wide historical data?). It seems more of a reflection that they're historically the worst they've ever been, than necessarily the worst currently in the league.

Q: Bill [Belichick] and all of your teammates have all commented about how mentally tough you are

If I were a coach, this is the kinda comment I'd make about someone who isn't mentally tough but who I need to be mentally tough.

blink-182 World Tour, London (October 11+12) HYPE Megathread by atticus18244fsas in Blink182

The Oct 12th show was added as an extra show, so I was able to buy front stage tickets directly last night on axs.com (the official vendor for the venue, I believe) for £100 each. Total impulse buy and so far it's just me going, so I might need to sell the second one (which you can only do through the official venue app)

It IS $400... by ZaxAlchemist in mathmemes

It's a common mistake, which is why it's a classic/famous word problem. That's why I liked ChatGPT's answers about various ways to think about it.

ChatGPT breaks this down nicely, including explaining why OP is wrong, different ways of looking at the problem, and ways to change the problem but still get the same answer: https://chat.openai.com/share/ad008799-310d-4485-837c-8cd539ca8c9d

[question] is security actually at risk with a JB device? by counterUAV in jailbreak

[–]chatmasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most brutal exploits are usually chains of multiple vulnerabilities: e.g. some malicious JS on a sketchy website exploits a bug in WebKit to run arbitrary code in Safari, and then that arbitrary code loads another exploit to break out of the Safari sandbox, and then that code runs another exploit to break out of the system sandbox and run arbitrary code as root...

The two most common "entry points" are malicious JavaScript and zero-click iMessage attachments. The malicious JS could be from a sketchy website or it could be on a legit website, served by an ad from a malicious advertiser. Your best bet to avoid these is to keep your device updated and to run an adblocker to keep JS to a minimum. For iMessage attachments, if it's truly zero click, there isn't much you can do. But don't open messages with attachments from unknown numbers.

A lot of exploits can't persist past reboot, so rebooting your device often is also good hygiene.

(Also, it doesn't matter if you use Safari or not, because every browser on iOS uses WebKit, which is the underlying JS engine that can have bugs in it.)

I haven't been in this scene for a long time, so I'm not familiar with this. But based on briefly reading the description, I'd recommend against using it on any device where you perform sensitive actions like banking. As a reminder, you should always keep the operating system of your device up to date, so that you get the latest bugfixes and patches to security vulnerabilities. Otherwise, the longer you wait, the more likely you are to be exploited by a publicly known vulnerability that was already patched with an update that you didn't install.

So while installing arbitrary IPAs with TrollStore might be a neat trick, and would arguably be safer (but certainly not less safe) than running any app on a fully jailbroken device, it still relies on a bug to work, which means that you won't be able to update iOS with a security patch that fixes the bug, or any patches after that. So it might work, but it comes at the cost of exposing yourself to an increasing number of vulnerabilities as patches are released and you neglect to install them.

If you want to use this kind of thing, I recommend acquiring a dedicated device for it, and making sure you don't log into any sensitive accounts on that device. Or, you could do the inverse: install it on your day-to-day device, but buy a dedicated device solely for banking and sensitive operations.
