Looking at my history (pretty active player) I've used about 184 MB since June 24th (I am not as active on weekends so for the sake of this example I actually played 18 days out of the month averaged about the same per day). On average that means about 10.2 MB per day of playing (looking at the graph, however, I would say I used about 20 MB the day of the event as I was out for about twice as much time that day).
As thekaleb mentioned the creator seems to reference this symbol a lot in his games. Here is more of a back story (after some google-fu of course as I'm not very familiar with the games)
Seems like Keen 5 has it as an easter egg to reference Wolfenstein [1].
And Wolfenstein uses it since the game has a "Nazi Party" within it (if you fight them or fight with them I'm not aware of) [2].
Interesting quote from [2] "The inclusion of the swastika led to the banning of the conventional game in Germany, as cultural stigma against the swastika is high there."
I've noticed in certain Walmarts my signal won't work no matter where I am - more than likely the thick walls I would assume were blocking the signal not some malicious attempt to stop me from price matching.
Regarding the DNA bank: I would like to know what information will they hold - just digital fingerprints of the DNA, or actual organic material. Depending on what is stored this could become a big target for various organizations to get a hold of.
Then next you have to worry about a) Someone abusing their power and using the information/robots against you for unfair reasons, or b) Hackers are constantly trying to break into various systems and I'm sure this bank/human-less-cop-force would attract some sort of attention.
To be fair though I have never planned to visit Dubai because of personal conflict of interests so hopefully if this does become a thing and is successful it stays in Dubai.
The feature does exist however it doesn't work in every scenario. Essentially when your pager shows
"X - Y of Z" (and not "X - Y of many") the keyword being many of course.
Your able to hover over the "X - Y of Z" and choose "Oldest" [1].
So essentially if data is indexed your able to.
I was not able to search any filter and apply this however on any Label I created I was able to do this.
So steps to find the oldest from amazon would probably have to be
1. Create filter+label that groups them all into one category. Wait for indexing to catch up should be fairly quickly since we are not talking petabytes of random data.
2. Choose the label on the left and on the top right hover over the "1-100 of 9999" and choose oldest.
Not the best work-a-round of course and makes sense why it's setup this way (Helps with optimization) however if a person sets up a lot of labels then they are already set up to do this feature.
Thank you for this information - seems to be so - just tried a VPN from Canada and it only shows the email that I entered. However I still would like to disable it on the off chance that someone in the future messes up. May never happen but I'd like to not take that risk. Thank you none-the-less as that has eased my mind a little bit.
This feature really grinds my gears. They should at least allow a feature to disable showing the picture/name until the user has logged in. In some cases I'm handing out my email to avoid handing out my actual identity because I don't want to be spammed or followed. Until then I will continue to use a false name and photo under my accounts signed up to google (apart from the one work email I have thru them).
Pollution is essentially what I meant apologies for my poor phrasing.
However detection of these devices could become easy considering they probably wouldn't move a lot, meaning you'd have to either (a) move the device frequently and randomly or (b) the antenna that reproduces the signal would need to add a bit of weakness to the signal to adjust and make the user look like he is moving.
(e.g. If the signal strength stays the same constantly then it might be easy to tell the user isn't moving ever and therefore likely not a spot they are at currently, or even if everyone shares a very similar signal strength).
According to the description on GitHub the system only adjusts the sequence numbers.
I believe the idea is to make it so this technique isn't useful for analytics anymore (edit: because your MAC mining data would be telling the user is in 100+ places at once). If it would work is an entirely different story because since the devices are stationary and not moving (like a device in your hand or pocket would) would it be easily detectable that it was a "faking" device.
Depends on the phone and if they use passive or active probing [1]. I also do not see a way to disable it globally yet as it's currently in the Google Issue Tracker [2]. Some say it's meant to be passive by default however Android documentation doesn't specifically state this [3].
"The existence of an hidden function to start an active scan (reported here) suggests that the normal scanning function is indeed passive. This is to be taken with a grain of salt, though, as the Android documentation doesn't explicitly tell if the function WifiManager.startScan() is passive or not." [3]
edit
Looks like iOS randomizes the MAC address while scanning for WiFI networks since iOS 8 (should be noted that it says "may not always be the device's real (universal) address" [4].
edit2
After some more reading supposed Android 6.0 solves this issue by randomizing the mac address as well, however the user in this blog tested it and was able to still get the original MAC address [5].
edit3
After even more reading it's kind of hard to tell what devices are affected and who isn't (Some say Google phones aren't affected and it's just OEM phones, however others claim that some Google phones are still affected by this issue). The only way to get this fixed globally is to have a security push to all supported versions that by default disables it globally then a user can enable it by choice. Considering the spaghetti mess of who is using it by default and who is not.
edit4
I agree with many on that the MAC randomization isn't really a good idea because some networks assign IPs based on the MAC address and to address that issue only the probing/scanning packets have the spoofed MAC address. All a hacker would have to do is create a network with the spoofed SSID and get the user to connect with the real MAC address thereby circumventing the randomization technique.
Medical marijuana user here, next time if you feel comfortable recommend to the user they grab a can of Ozium before going to public venues.
It completely takes the smell out and replaces with a lovely lemon smell.
I use this at work as well as in public venues and it keeps the marijuana odor from disturbing the public (at least I have stopped getting looks and the occasional nose wiggle, as well as my parents who don't smoke have told me how the marijuana smell doesn't seem to be there anymore when I visit).
I do apologize most of the users I know are respectful about how they enter the public while taking their medication.
2.You work for a large corporation and we'll you can't say you can trust everyone there.
3. Small company of 10 (company I work at for example) could be compromised by the weekly janitor.
4. Someone could break in and make it look like a robbery all while stealing your critical infrastructure.
I recently helped research a bit about internal security for our office and sticky notes are still a very common place for credentials to be compromised.
Very true, that is one thing I find replacing a lot of songs with others to get quality. Which can be frustrating when you don't have spare time at all during the day.
I recently switched to SoundCloud free and the ads are really not that bad (only con for example if your playing off your phone and it hits a video ad you can't lock your device till the SD finishes). However if the device screen is locked you'll only get audio ads (short and sweet at that).
Like YouTube though it will suffer from take down notices on some stuff you book mark, as well as mainstream stuff you can only listen to the first 30 seconds (but I've never been big into what's radio popular).
Well said, in Colorado we have farmers markets during the summer which allows for farmers to directly sell to consumers and make more money while the customer gets a better deal as well!
However during the winter I go to Natural Grocers, or Sprouts because the price is always cheaper (here at least it is much cheaper then Whole Foods).
