Totally shocked that a community full of Aspies is having a hard time mustering sympathy for this girl and instead have to pedantically inform the Internet that that's not really programming and what's the big deal anyway I did this when I was 12 in between stimming sessions and telling my parents every species of dinosaur.

There've been unhexeditable game consoles since the 70s. Doesn't seem to have impacted people's desire to hack thus far.

But now also PC games are unhexeditable, so you don't have anything left to hexedit.

throw new BathwaterException(new Baby()) ?

No no no. Always throw by value, and catch by reference. Like this:

  throw BathwaterException(Baby());

Wait, we are talking about C++ programming, right? ;)

Answer your "What is your shoe size?" security question...

That's a pretty poor security question :)

Did you read the article?

Heh. Want to place any bets they built the whole thing audio included and just before launch brought in the lawyers who quickly said WTF? To which the product team said ORLY?

Grandcentral (which was bought by google and is now google voice) had a great feature that when you received a phone call you could record it at any time. That feature was dropped by google. The laws vary by state. The state I used to be in you needed two party consent. The state I am in now only one party has to consent (so you can record your own phone calls in a one party state).

I believe that the same applies to surveillance cameras which is why most of them don't have audio they only have video.

Oh ok, here:

"Recording audio without the persons permission is almost always illegal, that's why our covert cameras don't have microphones. "

Would you prefer SaaS, or web service? Will that soothe you?

Here's another scenario: idiotic developers ask for a boatload of permissions "just in case" and don't realize how sketchy it looks.

Yea, Or they knew about the free app of the day and made a special farming one that's essentially the ad version minus displayed ads.

I find it crazy the permissions required even from paid apps. And of course amazon does not tell you them until AFTER you bought and downloaded the app.

Right from the technical details on that page (scroll about 1/3 of the way down):

"Application Permissions: (Help me understand what permissions mean) Read only access to phone state. Get information about the currently or recently running tasks: a thumbnail representation of the tasks, what activities are running in it, etc. Write to external storage. Open network sockets. Access information about networks."

Point 1 just isn't right. I have 2FA on my gmail and am reading it with the default mail client just fine. "yr doing it wrong."

My only explanation is differing versions of software. I entered and re-entered both passwords to no avail, and for the app-specific password I did so with and without spaces (which they say doesn't matter). I'm quite sure I did it correctly, and that it didn't work.
