Could they not just image search American manhole covers?

These days, I feel like most MMOs are just like trying to play a single player game but with other people getting in the way and/or breaking your shit while calling you an array of slurs.
Kind of like playing a regular game on extra extra difficult mode.
I think the summer sale starts tomorrow, definitely gonna add a few more to the old backlog lol
I also remember the TARDIS moving Earth back to its proper place by just dragging it across the galaxy like a tow truck lol.
IIRC he had some kind of insurance file against that, I think there used to be some encrypted file you could download from Wikileaks and if he died the password would be released.
No idea what it was (if anything, it could have just been a bluff of course) but it seems to have had the desired effect so far.
It’s fun watching people react to this season, because to me it seems like a classic textbook RTD bit of Doctor Who:
It’s everything I’d hoped it would be lol
I feel bad for the memory TARDIS. It was the MVP and saved everyone, then I guess they just dumped it as soon as they got the proper one back.
It’ll probably end up getting its own Big Finish series or something though.
One of the things I really hope they learn how to do is launch their games in a straightforward manner. Hitman is a great game but trying to figure out how to just buy the damn thing is so unnecessarily complicated. Someone on reddit made a chart about it and I still don’t understand what I’m supposed to buy on Steam.
No worries!
I’m not OP but running it through Wayback Machine worked for me: https://web.archive.org/web/20240612133701/https://www.404media.co/hacker-accesses-internal-tile-tool-that-provides-location-data-to-cops/
If not here’s the text of the article (but the link has a bunch of images too that might be useful):
A hacker has gained access to internal tools used by the location tracking company Tile, including one that processes location data requests for law enforcement, and stolen a large amount of customer data, such as their names, physical addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers, according to samples of the data and screenshots of the tools obtained by 404 Media.
The stolen data itself does not include the location of Tile devices, which are small pieces of hardware users attach to their keys or other items to monitor remotely. But it is still a significant breach that shows how tools intended for internal use by company workers can be accessed and then leveraged by hackers to collect sensitive data en masse. It also shows that this type of company, one which tracks peoples’ locations, can become a target for hackers.
“Basically I had access to everything,” the hacker told 404 Media in an online chat. The hacker says they also demanded payment from Tile but did not receive a response.
Tile sells various tracking devices which can be located through Tile’s accompanying app. Life360, another location data focused company, acquired Tile in November 2021.
The hacker says they obtained login credentials for a Tile system that they believe belonged to a former Tile employee. One tool specifically says it can be used to “initiate data access, location, or law enforcement requests.” Users can then lookup Tile customers by their phone number or another identifier, according to a screenshot of the tool.
A drop down menu which is selected in the screenshot tells users to select a request type: “DATA_ACCESS,” “LOCATION_HISTORY,” and “LAW_ENFORCEMENT.”
Hackers in recent years have repeatedly targeted tools used by tech companies to provide data to law enforcement or ones that are otherwise used by the company’s own staff to manage and access data. Sometimes, the hackers gain access to the tool itself, like when one used an internal Twitter system to take over accounts. In another case, a fraudster bribed an insider at Roblox to use that company’s tools for malicious purposes. Some hackers have even taken to installing malware inside U.S. telecoms so they can remotely control internal employee tools themselves.
Hackers also compromise email accounts used by police or other government officials, and then use those to demand sensitive data from tech companies and platforms by posing as the respective law enforcement officer. Targeted companies include Facebook, TikTok, and Apple.
Some of the other internal tools the hacker provided screenshots of include those for transferring Tile ownership from one email address to another; one for creating administrative users; and one for sending a push notification to Tile users. The hacker says they decided not to use this capability.
The hacker says they then accessed another system used by Tile which contained the customer data. The samples the hacker gave to 404 Media included names, addresses, phone numbers, as well as order and returns information and details on the payment method used.
From here, the hacker said they scraped the data. “I was able to enumerate through customer ids. Sent millions of requests to scrape the data.”
404 Media verified the data by randomly selecting a series of email addresses from the data, and then using them to create new accounts on Tile’s website. In most cases this was not possible because the email address was already in use by an existing customer. 404 Media also contacted multiple people inside the data via email.
“Yep, that would be me,” one person said when 404 Media sent all of the data related to their account.
Tile told 404 Media in a statement “Recently, an extortionist contacted us, claiming to have used compromised Tile admin credentials to access a Tile system and customer data. We promptly initiated an investigation into the potential incident. Our investigation detected that certain admin credentials were used by an unauthorized party to access a Tile customer support platform, but not our Tile service platform. The Tile customer support platform contains limited customer information, such as names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and Tile device identification numbers. It does not include more sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, passwords or log-in credentials, location data, or government-issued identification numbers.”
“We disabled the credentials and took swift action designed to prevent any future unauthorized access to the Tile customer support platform and associated Tile customer data. At this time, we are confident there is no continued unauthorized access to the Tile customer support platform,” the statement continued.
Tile suggested in its statement that it was not aware of what data had been taken until 404 Media shared samples of the data for more verification. “Once you supplied us with additional data, we investigated further and determined that it is likely data from the impacted Tile customer support platform. We thank you for bringing this new information to our attention,” it read.
Tile also published a version of this statement on its website, but only after 404 Media contacted the company for comment and proved to it that the stolen data was accurate.
Tile did not respond directly when asked if the hacker had the required access to perform a location data request.
“This is a major breach,” the hacker said. But “it could have been much more major.”
Same here, I work in the arts and can’t code a thing, but I use Arch (btw) as my daily driver.
Or maybe River, somehow?
That worked for banking, thanks!
Also old spoiler warning
There’s also that episode where 12 is
trapped in a castle for about 4 billion years
so you’d presumably have to watch that a few seconds at a time, interspersed with hundreds of years of other adventures.

Oh yeah I know. It’s just one of those money/time things I’ll get around to eventually.
Same here, I have an old Pixel 4a that still gets security updates from GrapheneOS. Banking apps and Amazon don’t seem to like it, but I don’t mind just doing those on my laptop anyway.
I imagine the final episode would have to be Utopia, which essentially takes place after the heat death of the universe. That’s a bit of a bummer for an ending though lol.
Disco Elysium is 90% off.
$54.49$4.54 (that’s in Canadian, not sure about the US price exactly.)I honestly couldn’t even tell you what it’s about, but it’s one of my favourite games ever. You can die from reading a book that’s too sad and if you do it right, you can smell communism.
