How was your 2016?

Minimania · 2016-07-12 04:46:47

Seeing as my post count is (or was) 2016, I decided to make this topic.

How has your year been so far?

I wonder. Do you think anyone actively looks at these forums for terrorists? I mean, it's not like we talk about making bombs, or suicide bombings, or radical islam, or any of those big important details.

Also, to actually answer the question

It's been OK. I've had some major achievements, some depressing milestones, and ultimately this year will be a year of transition. I embark on a [fortnight] trip tomorrow; this trip may well set the tone of my year (at least the next few months).

thanks for asking bro

Google crawls our forums regularly, and runs on CPUs which are backdoored by Intel, who is backdoored by the NSA. Thus the NSA has access to the full arsenal of knowledge that Google owns, if they don't just hand it over willingly. All emails for a massive amount of people, as well as exponentially growing profiles on every person connected to the Internet. You can't hardly go on the Internet without Google seeing and profiling you. Tons of sites have Google-powered advertisements, Google-powered "analytics", and even Google-powered fonts. Any site with any of these will at the very least tell Google what site and page you're viewing, as well as when. If you don't have JavaScript turned off then you can guarantee that for the analytics and advertisements they're also tracking everything you do on that page. And if you're using Chrome, a smartphone, social media, or Windows? You might as well chip yourself, bug your house, put cameras up everywhere, and broadcast it all live to the NSA to save yourself the time and (in the case of Windows and smartphones) money.

On that note my 2016 has been going solidly alright. I finished my first semester of College a few months ago and I went to an arcade for the first time where I won enough tickets to get a foam dart gun, a squishy egg, and two of those sticky stretchy hands.

RE: NSA
Yeah well I guess that's true. But who's to say they don't make their quaddrillion whatever supercomputer try hacking better encryptions, as opposed to pouring over the data of intel? :o

RE: Your 2016
congrats. did you skip fall or something? oh well. cgts nvrthlss

RE: NSA
That's what their botnets are for. Lots of people don't realize it, but that secondary "Intel Management Engine" CPU? The backdoor I talked about in Intel CPUs? It has full internet access. It can communicate and be communicated with, without the OS ever knowing a thing. The NSA has probably found an epxploit in the IME (again, if Intel didn't just hand over the keys to the castle) and used it to build the largest botnet ever. With that they can essentially remotely control any Intel-powered PC manufactured since the Core 2 Duo days, when the IME was introduced. A rootkit that can take hold there has absolute power while being 100% undetectable. They don't even need to crack any encryption. Why would they need to, when they can just order the computer with the keys to cough them up? But doing that for absolutely everyone is way too resource consuming and just plain time-wasting, even for the owners of the largest botnet in the world. That's what the lists are for, to focus their time and energy on specific leads, like someone saying "Wow I sure had fun at that ISIS training camp."

RE 2016
Yeah, during the fall I was still in the process of moving 6 hours to my new house. Frequent 12 hour round trips would have gotten in the way of college. But we finished moving just after the Fall semester and before the Spring semester, so I enrolled for that.

hummerz5 · 2016-07-13 01:43:40

"Wow I sure had fun at that ISIS training camp."
You've been on the list for a while, huh

Well, perhaps the "reason" they want to crack dat encryption is other countries? dunno

either way, they might be overstepping their bounds but I don't think american outcry would be something easy to come by, unless it was somehow put in extremely simplified layman's terms, and still deemed egregiously unacceptable.

but what do I know, I'm no lawyer
