    Wait until yall hear about cat brushes.

    Have you walked around the whole day in tight jeans, with your legs sweating up a swamp? Do your legs itch like mad upon you taking off the jeans? Introducing the cat brush, the premier method to scratch the fuck out of that itch, leading to heavenly satisfaction. Doubles as an exfoliant!




  • Passwords are typically sent to the server and hashed there. I’m a bit hazy right now on the implications of client-side hashing, but it would likely present some security problems.

    Edit: at the least, it would allow an attacker to use a leaked password database to log in to the sites, sidestepping the whole hashing thing.

    There are protocols that send a hashed or encrypted password instead of plaintext, but they’re more complex than just hashing. Iirc they involve a challenge-and-response method.





  • Google integrates its own services in both the phone and messaging apps: namely spam reporting and blocking. I’m guessing that other major brands also have services to that end.

    Google’s ‘Messages’ also has a button to make a video call, and I dunno even what app and protocol would be used for that, as I never used video calls and don’t have any Google apps for that functionality.






  • Ironically, this is the comment in this thread that’s not paranoid enough, because to my knowledge both Google and Samsung use their own closed-source message and phone apps, along with other standard apps. (Idk about other vendors, but the same is pretty likely for major brands.)
