UnpopularCrow@lemmy.worldto privacy@lemmy.ca•What is it with websites restricting passwords to 8 - 16 characters? Is there some technical limitation to their system??4·1 month agoYea, you are correct. The database size should be based on the hashing algorithm.
UnpopularCrow@lemmy.worldto privacy@lemmy.ca•What is it with websites restricting passwords to 8 - 16 characters? Is there some technical limitation to their system??161·1 month agoIt’s usually shoddy (or intended?) coding that only allows a 16 byte length for the password. One character equals one byte of memory so my guess is they only allocated 16 bytes of space for the password. The irony is NIST 2025 recommendations argue for AT LEAST 15 characters for passwords.

Anyone have experience with their service?
UnpopularCrow@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversationsEnglish152·2 months agoThe article claims that 1 trillion dollars was lost to scams in 2024 “based on research from GASA.org”. I cannot for the life of me figure out where this number comes from. Going to that website they say it’s based on ~58,000 surveys. I think they took the survey results, took the average amount of money the surveys claimed people lost and multiplied it by the total population of Earth or some nonsense shit. Their reports are blocked behind registration, which I’m not willing to do to find out their report is bullshit. Misinformation at its finest right here.

UnpopularCrow@lemmy.worldOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone else readily choose the handicap stall if it is available?3·5 months agoFair point. In my workplace, I’ve never seen it being used by someone who needed it. It is either taken by people who prefer it or when the other two stalls are filled up. Understand your point though.

UnpopularCrow@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•X expands lawsuit over advertiser ‘boycott’ to include Lego, Nestlé, Pinterest, and others | TechCrunchEnglish1931·5 months agoI’m honestly blown away that Nestle stopped or reduced advertising. It seems like twitter is exactly the home for such a terrible company.

Without regulation, there will never be motivation for companies to give a shit.
They will apologize like Old navy does every few years for sweatshops, claim they really care and promise to improve (they won’t).
What the apology really means?
“Enjoy your free year of credit monitoring and fuck off.”
UnpopularCrow@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How did you hurt yourself in a very stupid way?261·6 months agoPartially tore three quadriceps muscles and two calf muscles break dancing at an arcade bar when I was black out drunk. Just didn’t know when to quit until it was too late. Both my primary doctor and the person who did the MRI thought it was hilarious. To be fair, it was.
“…instead they will do it by making some tech execs part-time lieutenant colonels in the Army Reserve while retaining their current full-time jobs. Welcome your newest recruits: Andrew Bosworth, CTO of Meta; Shyam Sankar, CTO Palantir; Kevin Weil, CPO of OpenAI; and Bob McGrew, OpenAI’s former research chief and current advisor to Thinking Machines Lab.”
I certainly wouldn’t want these four with me in a foxhole.
