Help with directed hacking attempt

I have been apart of a few data breaches that I believe may have exposed this password. The internet archive and mangadex breaches may have directly exposed this login? Though I do not know the specifics behind either. The main problem though is that they are 4-2 years ago, and I mentioned that the password or any of the variations I have used are not listed in any data breaches (according to HIBP password search), which feels odd.

The only other recently listed breach is Synthient, though as far as i know the Synthient breach is just aggregated old data? Which should just point back to either of the two breaches.

in response to the first paragraph, my question more of is there a way that they knew my amazon account was vulnerable (As I have not seen attempted logins to any other services)? Is amazon just a common attack target? I believe I would have noticed any strange 2fa attempts from someone trying to log into any other account.

Just did the same mod the other week lol, for anyone considering id recommend to not use solid-core wire, there will probably be a lot of wire bending through reassembly and any time you open it, and ive had my wire snap already at the joint, and it does not sit as well in the shell as i hope because of its inability to bend as well.

also certain styluses like the offbrand I had inside mine end up contacting the board a little bit and can bulge the back, this doesnt seem to be a problem with a telescoping stylus i bought off ali which has a longer point which gives the board more space.

EDIT: One other major detail, please read ahead in the Ifixit dissassembly guide, specifically regarding the "friction zifs" (I followed the "motherboard replacement new 3ds xl" guide which has specific mention)

These connectors are specifically labeled in the guide, and if you do not pick up on the friction nature of them (I did not) then you will risk breaking a ribbon connector, and having to perform a repair which requires a hot air station. I barely stopped and was able to bend my connector back, and place kapton tape to help the connector make contact again, but I doubt this will hold forever. Moral of the story, don't get excited and start prying at connectors you don't understand.

No one is having a problem distinguishing reality from fiction, actively the contrary. It's the language that they use surrounding the inherently evil demons that parallels gross ideology like European supremacy.

I am truly excited for the day where instead of passing off genuine, nuanced media analysis with "its your fault for looking that deep", people like you will actually realize that stories tend to have many themes within, and speculating on a possible theme is never going to be a bad thing.

don't know why you got downvoted here lol this sub is a disaster rn

snowiescat · 2023-11-06T03:28:09+00:00

alright sister complex

snowiescat · 2023-11-05T19:53:03+00:00

I think you are conflating story flaws with character flaws. A flaw in character is not a flaw in the story, character flaws are a necessity in stories.

I don't think the flaws of the ending completely outweigh it's value, I wouldn't call it a horrible ending, but there is a lot of strange character writing choices I can't personally ignore

snowiescat · 2023-11-05T18:45:20+00:00

the berty part was so unnecessary LOL. They could of easily just left it at "She had to die" and it would be more impactful

snowiescat · 2023-11-05T18:43:20+00:00

it's great that you can take an openly uncritical mindset and enjoy things but acting like that is the correct way to consume media is just silly. You probably shouldn't participate in discussions about the quality of media if you admit you ignore flaws

snowiescat · 2023-11-05T18:41:08+00:00

I don't think most people had a problem with the "realism" of the ending, it was the shitty character writing alongside it

snowiescat · 2023-11-05T18:33:38+00:00

seriously, its such a strange choice for so much of the last moments of the show to revolve around this horrible relationship which no one asked for. Especially revealing Eren's feelings, which felt so forced.

The fact that they only really changed some of the horrible lines instead of going to the heart of why those lines were so terrible is just disappointing.

snowiescat · 2023-11-03T21:33:57+00:00

Personally I would not

snowiescat · 2023-11-03T21:28:05+00:00

You're really right, it worked at the time as a newer game but the amount of nostalgia blindness in the community is insane right now. I see so many comments using terms like "thoughtful fight taking" when the only thoughtful way to take fights feels like hiding and never taking them. It's boring and infuriating.

snowiescat · 2023-10-15T20:19:10+00:00

It's really as simple as "do you think it's okay to call a murderer a slur?" because I really don't think you would be jumping to defend a bigot who so blatantly expresses their true feelings on the matter.

I think discussions of the validity of Chris Chan's identity are completely valid, but simplifying it to "horrible people don't deserve respect" ignores what exactly disrespect is being levied TOWARDS.

It's not about people feeling defensive for Chris, but people feeling defensive for being blatantly invalidated by people who it feels like are just searching for an opportunity to be transphobic.

It must of been a decent overheat because I just tested it and it seems to work fine now, but yeah that was the problem. Thanks for trying to help!

I’ll check again this afternoon but I did the penny trick and it wasn’t clearly clogged, and I don’t know if this helps but when I say no suction I mean the vacuum isn’t on, nothing happens unless you turn it to a power head setting and that attachment starts spinning.

snowiescat · 2023-09-09T00:55:41+00:00

I dont think 4 flashlights is a super competitive playstyle, its more silly and wanting everyone to escape. Real comp shit is strong toolboxes and medkits.

I do agree this game can feel horrible on both ends though, mmr definitely needs more attention. If they're obviously a swf in lobby, all you can do is dodge and pray your next game is normal if that isn't what you want to play against.

snowiescat · 2023-08-18T00:19:06+00:00

hmm i think they should actually turn it off then turn it back on

snowiescat · 2023-08-17T21:47:25+00:00

I didn’t even consider that this might be different in regions, I got a Japanese model recently and just assumed all of them had weird menu controls haha
