A tech company?

Breaking laws?

Colour me blind, never saw that one coming

Warfare

Is it meant to comical?

General: have you launched the attack captain?

Captain: yes sir! We have disabled their fridges

What next?

Turning all the traffic lights red?

There was me thinking I finished school and left the playground, but it turns out the “adults upstairs”, never left and simply brought the playground with them

Take the money

Then dont do what they ask, that’ll be expensive for them

Killery says

While walking over a pile of dead bodies

Fantasy

I don’t understand its appeal, why the dude is described as a doctor, a doctor of what? Magical thinking?

Fake news

“We contacted HMRC”

Either that cost you a small fortune in time, or its made up

Captive hunting

Those 2 words just shouldn’t be next to eachother

It’s not a hunt if you know where it is and you put it there

Clown world

And for our next act, here is a clown to laugh at

He normally writing code but today he is entertainment

IT security heavyweight????

The company that gave us hidden file extensions for zero perceivable benefit, and created a whole attack vector for no reason.

That company?

IPv6

IPv6 can provide the address space

Wide open borders

We all have to be INFOSEC experts now, given that those clearly defined borders are no longer.

Meanwhile, the software writers, while clever, have nothing on the people who write the EULA, absolute geniuses

I can almost hear the excuses in court

From the females involved.

“The bad man made me do it, I was scared of him, sniff sniff, cry cry”

And the white-knight judge will lap it up

Many more reasons why

Advanced search no longer works, it ignores excluded words

It is also increasingly woke

Try searching for “lying cunts” and even with unfiltered preference, apparently there are 3 results.

I know for a fact there should be many more results than 3, ffs

“So we decided we wanted to have aliens, and they were supposed to be intrinsically evil. The idea was that they were people that the player could kill with no sort of guilt accruing.”

“It’s just like hunting in the countryside” ;)

If the encryption of data is the result of a software exploit, regardless if a patch is available, then the owners of the shitcode should be the ones paying.

That’s my hot take

That’ll be Microsoft screwed then…

Do sincere businesses exist?

Let me know if you can think of any

OnDemand

Not very OnDemand if you have to suffer someone trying to sell you products

Tech businesses are modern-day thieves

Apple, a company valued at more than a trillion-dollars, stole £5 from me and refused to return it.

Apparently they were selling a game they were not permitted to and removed it from their cRapp-store, removing my ability to install something I had paid for.

There is something slightly disturbing and sociopathic about tech businesses, especially American ones

so the results are usually cherry picked

So a bit like pharmaceutical companies then

Give yourself an uppercut

While I agree, the reality is people are lazy, ignorant, and generally not engaging the brain as often as they should.

The fix here is to not design an iOT where security is not enabled by default.

A lot of the time, the business just wants to minimise support requests from their customers because those customers cannot be arsed to RTFM

People still use the same password across multiple online services, the writing has been on the wall for a while now.

Did I mention people are lazy and ignorant?

Javascript from 3rd party domains

I notice that there is a lot of javascript being pulled from 3rd party domains on their platform, I suspect Atlassian doesn’t control them all.

Stop hiring and firing, then you would have senior engineers who understand your codebase.

Biden

Does Biden get any work done between him soiling himself and getting lost?

Can we stop calling these incidents "bugs"

These are blunders, pure and simple

Some blundering fool did something they probably shouldnt have, or the blundering fool literally had zero clue what it was they were doing. It's quite possible that there are multiple blundering fools in this story.

Imagine if I was a house builder, and 2 weeks after people moved in to a house I built, it collapses.

Can I just claim it was a bug? and not my fault?

?????ICC?????

Bush?

Blair?

Cameron?

Obama?

Etc
