I’m gonna be honest dude. The “shorts is just over-sexualised jailbait” is a you issue, and more of a self report on the shit you watch, or you being hyperbolic. I often watch shorts and have not once ever seen anything remotely as you describe.

You get served kid videos because you watch them, which is sick of you. It’s wild you’d admit that when common knowledge is algos show you content you seem to like.

Nothing like seeing all 3 of the same posts by you in my feed 🥰

The databases aren’t encrypted exactly…

The DB don’t even store passwords, but a hash of a user’s password. When someone logs in, their password is hashed and compared to what’s stored in the DB. If they match, entry is granted.

Passwords stored as one-way hashes are cracked by generating passwords and running them against the same hash algorithm, like sha256, sha-1 or md5 if you’re especially shitty at protecting information. Same hash = same password in most cases. The cracking is done using GPUs because they accelerate at those types of functions. This doesn’t even consider salted hashes which make the process more difficult for an attacker.

You do this locally so that you don’t lock a username out or trip alerts or become noticed by someone until you’re ready to gain access.

Exactly lmao

So if someone buys them, are they pirating? Lol

The powerplay is a game changer. You made a great choice getting that thing.

do ovens Not RUN on GAS wheRE you Live??? THAT’S WILD.

See, I can be a snarky dipshit too.

If your suggesting a fucking $10 timer on your electric oven plug, that’s laughable. No wonder you said “overnight” instead of an actual time, it must take you the full 8 hrs to cook a potato with that thing.

No shit I’ve heard of a timer.

You’re the one that said “overnight” in your explanation instead of an actual time to use. I meant no issues with my comment to you so I dont understand your issue.

All Night? I’d be worried that’d be too long to try this myself.

My favorite example that I think you could consider is the United States program to assist citizens with ESRD, in some cases I think the entire cost is covered. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_Stage_Renal_Disease_Program

It became what seemed like a natural path to take. My father worked in a computer science field, tech and gadgets where always around.

I think what really did it for me was being younger and trying and succeeding on occasions to circumvent my father’s parental controls on internet access.

I work in the IT sphere now.
