Many sites have had to enable reveal passwords for people with complicated passwords not using password managers.

It’s low risk, but their numbers are also coming from fairly dated hardware and is just proof of concept. It can almost certainly be speed up significantly.

Yeah as the other person suggested i suspect it’s more like “when do these expire?” “does this have mold on it?” “what does this sign say?”

You might get some about “does this match?” but i don’t know

The problem is that so many browsers leverage hardware acceleration and offer access to the GPUs. So yes, the browsers could fix the issue, but the underlying cause is the way GPUs handle data that the attack is leveraging. Fixing it would likely involve not using hardware acceleration.

As these patterns are processed by the iGPU, their varying degrees of redundancy cause the lossless compression output to depend on the secret pixel. The data-dependent compression output directly translates to data-dependent DRAM traffic and data-dependent cache occupancy. Consequently, we show that, even under the most passive threat model—where an attacker can only observe coarse-grained redundancy information of a pattern using a coarse-grained timer in the browser and lacks the ability to adaptively select input—individual pixels can be leaked. Our proof-of-concept attack succeeds on a range of devices (including computers, phones) from a variety of hardware vendors with distinct GPU architectures (Intel, AMD, Apple, Nvidia). Surprisingly, our attack also succeeds on discrete GPUs, and we have preliminary results indicating the presence of software-transparent compression on those architectures as well.

It sounds distantly similar to some of the canvas issues where the acceleration creates different artifacts which makes it possible to identify GPUs and fingerprint the browsers.

Take this article with a grain of salt.

1. the site that hosts it is a garbage clickbait health site.
2. It links to an article in the NIH database, but it’s from last year and as the bright yellow box says, there are some concerns about the article. ( concern and the reply )
3. It has been corrected
4. They also note in the article “all oral contraceptive pills may cause mood changes, but the newer oral contraceptive pills containing estradiol or estradiol valerate may be less likely to cause mood changes.”

It’s funny to watch his facade occasionally fall and the curtain to be peeled back, and yet the show just keeps going.

Unlike other politicians, the trail of grifts with him is long, and yet people still keep him going.

Some highlights if you don’t want to click:

Temperatures are forecast to be warmer than normal for all of the northern U.S., from northern California, Oregon and Washington to Pennsylvania, New York and into New England.

NOAA says that temperatures will stay closer to the 30-year average for the South.

For the precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, etc.), the northern states could see below-normal snowfall, especially in the northern Rockies and the Great Lakes.

Across most of the South, wetter than normal conditions are expected, especially in the Southeast from Louisiana to Florida and into the Carolinas.

For the Northeast, there is a chance that this will be a wetter than normal winter from Washington, D.C., to Philadelphia, to New York City and into southern New England.

super important detail

One other thing to note, this is all a probability forecast. The atmosphere is very fluid and dynamic, and forecasts could change.

You should 100% lie when you can. You can give every site a different email address, name, birthday, gender, and location and just note all of that in your password manager.

However, there’s a lot you just can’t control, like other people catching you in their pictures.

Or leave the house 😢

This only sorta works for today and if your friends never share images or videos online. The ever-increasing amount of people taking pictures and filming and posting them online means the day is quickly approaching where you could be identified and tracked through other people’s content, security & surveillance cameras, etc.

If stores start adopting the tracking used at Walmart and the Amazon biometric data, social media will be the last of your worries.

Who says there’s no innovation in tech companies today? lol

Avatar checks out

I have no idea what their business model is, but this would be a great way to collect more data for training various forms of AI. Arguably without harvesting people’s personal data or their creative works.

I also suspect that because it’s an assistive tool, it can probably get a fair bit of grant money.

Boss clearly isn’t online much to see their content.

I’ve worked with Gen-Zers and have never seen this specific issue. Sounds like another example of a boss so removed from workers that their “insights” aren’t based on experiences, but rather on that deadly combo of the tendency of older generations to negatively see generational changes, and that corporate group think where they try to justify not paying their workers their value.

It also sounds like a touch of the corporate group think where they forgot how much their employers had to teach them on the job, and how much they don’t want to continue doing that.

Yes, it’s a press release, but I think this is maybe a an interesting use for some of the AI to augment that of volunteers who help describe and annotate for people who have vision challenges.

Welcome to the future [of shit]!

Ahh, Google’s tried and true method of throwing a million half-baked features to people before promptly cancelling them all. This will definitely work for them.

I saw some research a while back around giving computers personality traits or having them respond more human like, and college students found it super creepy. If you watch how people interact with assistants, it’s very different than from interacting with humans.

I feel so much safer knowing he might show up and protect me from a grocery store robbery.

Yes-- same with bluetooth or ordering groceries for delivery and giving your home address. There’s always ways to leak data and make it no longer anonymous. However, from my knowledge of how some of these datasets work, they aren’t putting in a lot of effort into truly trying to make sure the joins are 100% accurate because it rarely matters. They generally don’t give a shit about you as an individual. The most common uses of the data are for advertising and mistargeting doesn’t cost enough to justify the time to verify the data.

Paying in cash though can make it anonymous, or by using virtual cards that mask your card id.

Sure, but you can usually register with fake info though. I’ve never seen one really verify much of any information.

Just use one of those email forwarding services that generates unique addresses.

everyone can sign up as “JP Morgan” at “555 Fuckoff Lane”. I’m guessing it might be better if we all standardize to make it harder to connect the sold datasets. If they have address checking we should find some tiny town with 200 people from google maps.
