Keep them on their toes. After hunting down the last of them it’s time to introduce multi-factor.


“Cyberleek has a project,” the message begins. “Not Rockstar related. Gaming related. It needs expensive hardware. Months to set up. Years to run. Full-time. If you cannot trust the figure, trust the skills. You do not know Cyberleek. Cyberleek could be anyone. Even a liar. That is fair. No blame for doubt. Doubt is the correct default for an unknown. What is collected goes to the project. However much arrives, Cyberleek does the possible with it. That is the only promise.”
If they fancy a new gaming PC why don’t they just say so?
“This just in”
That’s a clever way of finding out who to torture.


Has this guy ever looked at the moon? 🌑
It’s Ourasia, comrade
THAAAAANK YOUUUUUU


They’d need permission and even then most attacks would need to be impractical. It’s something to keep in mind but I wouldn’t lose sleep over it.


(app info, mobile data usage, and then set allow network access to off)
If that includes wifi then you’re probably fine. There’s a bunch of other protocols an app might leak data over, such as Bluetooth, NFC, Calls/SMS, USB, etc., but they’re all quite niche compared to a regular internet connection.
The ocean’s angry response to feet
Calling every doctor dumb unless they graduated magna cum laude is a bit of a stretch considering how notoriously hard it is to even barely pass a medical exam.
We really share a bond that none of the other three active users share <3


I mean the stuff is probably archived somewhere online and possibly already ready to just download or run but that’s no fun and I am also curious.
If you like a challenge you could try to write your own crack. At some point in the installer’s code there must be a condition that goes “If entered serial is correct, jump to installation, otherwise jump to error message.”. On x86 machines a “jump if” is represented by the byte 0x74, whereas “jump if not” is 0x75. In the most simple scenario all you need to do is find the exact byte representing that jump and replace it with its opposite. The installer will then let you proceed if you enter any invalid serial.
At minimum you’d need a disassembler (ideally one that lets you run the installer in some kind of debug mode), and a hex editor. Be warned that my knowledge was very limited back then and has likely deteriorated over the years. Also it can quickly get much more complicated if the installer comes with any form of tamper protection or obfuscation.
Both the photo and this comment section have been brought to you by cocaine, probably.


If your ISP is blocking them then my guess would be that the local VPN’s ISP has started blocking them as well.
Hi, human who wrote that meme here. I often sucks at words. What I was trying to say is that LLM companies tend to heavily maniuplate the raw output of their models to fit their narrative, all whilst selling it as an independently thinking entity whose inner workings no human can understand.
