    Capitalism: All you need to know about Apple being evil
    • A free Mac app called Amphetamine keeps your computer from going to sleep. Launched in 2014, the app has been downloaded over 432,000 times and has received high ratings in the Mac App Store. Six years later, Apple suddenly decided that Amphetamine was breaking App Store rules.

      Amphetamine developer, William Gustafson, detailed how the events unfolded. Apple first contacted him and announced that Amphetamine would be removed from the Mac App Store on January 12, 2021. An Apple spokesman noted that Amphetamine violates the following rule:

      Apps that encourage the consumption of tobacco and e-cigarettes, drugs or alcohol are not allowed in the App Store. Apps that encourage minors to consume any of these substances will be rejected. Promotion of the sale of marijuana, tobacco, or prohibited substances is prohibited.

      An Apple spokesman added, “Your app appears to be contributing to the misuse of prohibited substances. In particular, the name and icon of your application contains links to prohibited substances, pills. "

      Gustafson tried to explain that Amphetamine does not promote illicit drug use because amphetamine is a legal prescription drug in the United States. He also noted that the Amphetamine supplement does not encourage the use of amphetamine "irresponsibly, illegally or for fun."

      Gustafson created a petition on Change.org, and just yesterday he announced on Twitter that Apple has carefully studied his explanation, as a result of which Amphetamine will remain in the Mac App Store.

      Ever dreamed of corporation full of sick idiots who can't even check that application is doing? And most of them are able only read Apple rules, but not able to understand any complex text.

    Coronavirus: Something is up in China
    • The authorities of the Chinese city of Heihe in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang have decided to suspend the work of urban public transport due to the worsening epidemiological situation. The ban applies to both buses and taxis. The resumption of work will be announced later.

      Heilongjiang's Health Committee previously reported that four new cases of acute coronavirus were detected in Heihe, all of which were previously listed as asymptomatic.

      The ports of Dalian and Qingdao are also closed. This is part of strange propaganda that COVID comes to China via frozen fish.

    Zyxel planted backdoor in their firewalls and gateways
    • More than 100,000 Zyxel firewalls, VPN gateways, and AP controllers contained a hard-coded administrative backdoor account that, on occasion, could give cybercriminals root access to devices via SSH or a web admin panel.

      The dangerous account was discovered by specialists from Eye Control, based in the Netherlands. They also recommended the owners of all affected devices to update them as soon as possible, since the vulnerability is really extremely unpleasant.

      Attackers of all levels - from DDoS botnet operators to government cyber groups and ransomware creators - can use the detected backdoor account to infiltrate internal networks.

      Among the vulnerable devices are popular enterprise-grade models from Zyxel. Typically, such devices are used in private organizations and government networks. Experts have identified the following product lines, the owners of which should be wary of the backdoor:

      ATP series - used primarily as a firewall;

      • USG-series - used as a hybrid of firewall and VPN gateway;
      • USG FLEX series - also used as a firewall and VPN gateway;
      • VPN series - used exclusively as a VPN gateway;
      • NXC-series - used as a WLAN access point controller.

      So, main idea is to add additional parameters and Diamond efficiency. Plus also measure noise in dB(A) - this is not good idea.

    Capitalism: Attack on language continues
    • House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rules Committee Chairman James McGovern (D-MA) unveiled the rules for the 117th Congress on Friday, which contain “future-focused” proposals, including the elimination of gendered terms, such as “father, mother, son, and daughter.”

      In clause 8(c)(3) of rule XXIII, gendered terms, such as “father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half sister, grandson, or granddaughter” will be removed.

      In their place, terms such as “parent, child, sibling, parent’s sibling, first cousin, sibling’s child, spouse, parent-in-law, child-in-law, sibling-in-law, stepparent, stepchild, stepsibling, half-sibling, or grandchild” will be used, instead.

    Weekend sex: Penis real statistics and woman preferences
    • image

      image

      From https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0133079

      So, yes, size matter (in preferences also).

      • Just over 20% of women prefer a penis that is thicker than 99% of penises. (same for one-night partners)
      • The upper 50% of women prefer a thickness that is thicker than ~70% of penises. (over 80% of penises for one-night partners)
      • Just over 25% of women prefer a penis that is longer than 99% of penises. (same for one-night partners)
      • The upper 50% of women prefer a length that is longer than ~90% of penises. (same for one-night partners)

      Btw

      According to one study on rats, penis length appears to be affected by fetal exposure to testosterone in utero. There’s a critical window in gestation where the more testosterone the fetus gets, the larger the penis. Outside of this window, testosterone does not have an effect on size.

    Tracking: Calls and calls
    • In most countries you need legal documents to record your phone calls, even with all latest fake anti terrorist laws you need such (they just allow it to be infinite). Also none of phone companies have their own equipment to record or recognize talks, all such things are installed by NSA and similar guys (at the company space).

      But if you use WhatsApp or anything like this - nothing is required. Almost all calls are being specially compressed and almost all go through latest voice recognition to have transcript, same transcript also includes as metadata your location, wi-fi points nearby and much more related info. For people who are of interest of authorities of big business each recording will be rerun against improved voice recognition (usually each 1-1.5 years). Only few people have access to all this, including all corresponding government guys. All calls are stored indefinitely for now, but companies have at their disposal special AI algorithms to dump old not useful ones.
