Surely you mean they couldn't care less?

Isn't the entire point of a card to make sure they don't misspill your email address?

What am I missing here?

Cool story bro.

Now if you'd tell us why you think this way, your post *might* be useful instead of merely wasting electrons.

FFS!

I don't play rugby with my mother or children either. That doesn't mean rugby is a dodgy sport!

I'm amused somebody has modded this perfectly factual comment as 'troll'!

Don't talk shite man!
Putin may be mad, but he (and his generals) aren't daft enough to attack NATO.

NATO Article 5: an attack against one Ally is considered as an attack against all Allies

I remember when LinkedIn spammed your contacts list, posing as you and asking your contacts to join. (Well documented here on /. )

How they gained any respectability after doing this is beyond me.
 
Back in the day, we would routinely bin any candidate with a LinkedIn profile.... because they must have had their head in the sand not to realise (or have read in the IT press) how toxic LinkedIn were.

Triangulate?

Good god man! Do you think a GPS receiver measures angles to calculate its position?
Look up Trilateration. The difference is an important one.

Trust the tech giants to think they can bend nature to their will!

Seriously, learn to code you lazy bastards....... I work in GNSS where nanosecond time keeping and syncing to UTC is critical and we manage it without problems.

The likes of the GDPR should have educated management that data is also a liability, not just an asset.
And unnecessary data gathering is a major liability.

(And yes, I'm aware this data breach happened in 'murca.)

Seriously?

I've always had them down as a bunch of lying, spamming bellends not to be trusted with a spat-out Werther's Original, let alone my data.

Every time you update your password you have to rewrite your will

OK :-)
"Provide access to your computer passwords"......
I don't remember my solicitors exact words offhand, but his point was, give the location of your passwords in your will.

Granted though..... some lawyers could use this an a money making opportunity!
Trust the law society to give skewed advice :-)

What is so fucking complicated about this?

I was sorting out a will recently and even my non-clued up solicitor (US=lawyer) recommended putting passwords in my sealed will. Apparently, this is a standard recommendation from the law society for every will written in the UK.

Without a doubt, every other country on planet Earth must have it's lawyers recommend something similar.

What is the story here?

Dude,
You are confusing trusting your friends honesty, with trusting their technical competence.

I absolutely trust friends not to route though personal data. (Hell, user privacy is the golden rule of old-school sysadmins). However, I don't trust them not to have a HD stolen or unpatched box on the net.

For this reason, my offsite backups with friends are always encrypted tarballs.
This is for my friends peace of mind, as well as my own.

You are joking right?
You do realise that in 2001, 75% of the British public did not want to be part of the Afghan war.

That 1 Million people (1 in 60 of the population of the country) went to London to protest against the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

That parliament only voted for war because Tony Blair (subsequently one of the most vilified prime ministers in modern times) outright lied to parliament.

Sorry to bust your bubble.... but Britain & the rest of Europe isn't prepared to unilaterally support the US in war as you seem to believe. Thankfully, support for such wars is very much lacking by the majority of educated, intelligent Americans in your own country too.
