You can buy a hardware keystroke recorder for a few bucks. Just plug it between keyboard and computer and it logs all inputs. Once they have the boot password (and maybe a bunch of others), installing malware and exfiltrating data is pretty straightforward. Doesn't require a lick of IT knowledge either.

Bit more challenging on a laptop without external keyboard, but there are hardware solutions as well, though they'd require tinkering with your device.

Phones are harder to gain access to. Honestly if I wanted to get into your phone, I'd probably try to set up hidden cameras in spots where you are likely to enter your PIN (bed, toilet) somewhere under the ceiling and angled straight down. I'd probably try to switch the phone off as well any chance I got (long press the start button) so that you'd be forced to boot up and enter the PIN at any given opportunity to max my chances.

Actually hacking secure boot / accessing data from encrypted drives is beyond casual hackers, unless you don't regularly update your devices and there are some active exploits published.

But seriously, low effort password sniffing is still the biggest vulnerability out there.

Lemmy is the only text-based social media I use, other than PieFed (which is practically the same, and fully compatible). If there was a PieFed client with a nice UI, I'd switch fully in a heartbeat. Unfortunately the only client seems to be Interstellar, which is functional but lacking (and ugly).

I do still use Instagram, but more so as a photo backup solution than active social media. PixFed or whatever it was called didn't work for me since nobody can guarantee that the server I chose will actively be maintained long term.

I've been using it for 12+ years, and still do to this day. The only thing that changed is that you have to use the Microsoft authenticator app to log on.

Fuck outlook, the app is trash.

Nine works great for exchange servers, if you can't escape the Microsoft infrastructure altogether.

That is just as bad.

Could be beneficial for your career, but your colleagues might hate you, really depends on the company dynamics (and maybe size). If you actually like hanging out with him, don't kiss ass and expect any kind of reward and just be yourself, personally I don't see any harm.

They exist in Switzerland.

Where I'm at you can't establish a trust with less than 1M in assets, and there are no tax incentives.

Waze has speed trap warnings. They don't have anything else (and were also bought out by Google), but for navigation, it rocks.

Maybe it's just regular trusts? Those things do exist, for asset management of wealthy families and such.

They are hiding it deliberately if people are more likely to leave critical or negative reviews.

I can't leave reviews through the Google maps app either, the function is gone. If I open the mobile website, it's there again.

Fucking hypocrites.

Selling a product is a good business model if the product has a shelf life or naturally degrades over time, but served you so well that you'll replace it in kind or with an upgrade.

A product that does something exactly once and done doesn't scale long term, so once the hype was over, that was that.
