You have a beautiful voice, Quantum Crab!
What just happened? I don’t understand!
truly worth the 3 month wait since your last upload
Also…
That’s it @RoboRomb! //I’m mentioning him because I want him to notice my sincere congratulations
I’m proud of ya, boy.
The post was edited. It was a welcome message for a new user who had not posted. We have hundreds of users who join the forum but don’t post anything, it’s a waste of a post to welcome them. It can also intimidate the new users.
Depends on the moderator who reviews the flag. But at the very least your profile will permanently show to all moderators that you have made unhelpful flag. You’ll just have to wait for someone to spam or belgiumpost to flag them.
Additionally I think that the discobot tutorial, specifically asks you to flag discobots post in the private message.
The discobot tutorial doesn’t actually give the badge, because discobot automatically removes it.
Which is correct. As the badge is reserved to honor those users who keep the forums clean by correctly flagging posts.
I don’t think this belongs on the music suggestion thread.
has anyone seen the youtube video about the escaping baby panda.
Negative. I didn’t see that video. You can share it if you want.
EDIT : Illegally meaning how can they realistically sell the data without taking account of the law.
i don’t know how to share videos but if you go i on youtube and type in escaping baby panda then you should get the video.
you just copy-paste the link of the video into your post and it should show it in-post.
This is more of a legal question than technical question. Technically it would be really easy to include biometrics data into backups or other data that regularly leaves a cell phone. Though, I’ve heard that in order to secure things many of the biometrics sensors like fingerprint sensors may have an internal storage that disallows the phone from reading it. So it is possible that companies have on a hardware level protected that data so that even they cannot read it.
I would guess that companies must disclose the data they collect in their license agreement, which people don’t read, and then act surprised that their data was sold according to the contract they accepted when registering. It is also possible here that some things are flat out illegal (in some places) and even if it reads in a contract that part of the contract is automatically invalid. I would also guess that biometrics data would count as personal information under GDPR, requiring companies to have a legal reason or an explicit consent check box to handle the data.
If the company can access the biometrics data, it is also possible that there is a vulnerability that lets hackers access the same data. I would imagine that that would cause a huge belgiumstorm and “everyone” would hear of it pretty quickly.
As to your last question: there are buyers for even stolen credit card numbers, thus it is not difficult to imagine that there is a market for illegally collected user data as well.
So the only protection is that there are security researchers actively looking at stuff like this going on and uncovering it (of course it is also possible that there exists an ethical company whose staff would resign before they implemented such data collection). And if a company is found out doing this I’d imagine they would lose consumer trust very quickly and be hit with huge fines.

Yes yes yeS.
