How much did Zuckerberg pay for this to be published?

That was exactly my first thought.

Social engineering at it's best.

I haven't had a Facebook account since they opened the floodgates to everyone, not just college students.

I could careless. Besides, I'd rather talk to you nutjobs anyway. :p

I "deleted" my account over four years ago. I've been pestered beyond count to open my account again (by friends). I will never give in! Stay strong people who don't have accounts! There are some of us out there! lol :p

I HATE facebook. I used to be on it all the time as it was my only way of contacting a group of friends I used to skate with but since then I only ever on it if I get a notification email which is very rare or if I'm contacting my tattoo artist as they prefer to use facebook *facepalm*

Im much more afraid of people who share most important personal data (like phone number, home address, family conenctions - and yes, you can still use facebook or google+ without sharing these. beside harvesting data both networks are great communiaction tools), who even doesnt understand concept of elemetary privacy, than people who doesnt have any social network accout.

As for demanding access to profiles by employers - i would rather resing job than giving someone else insight into my personal life/space.

This guy must be an alien or sutin...

No Facebook here. What do I do with all the free time every night? I try to take over the world!

Cause I have a pinky and a brain.

No the pinky is not between my legs.

Alright I can send pics if you PM me.

Just keep in mind that I'm considered a psychopath before pm-ing me. :p

Facebook goes publicly traded.

Facebook stock isn't doing so well.

Article like this comes out to convince people to use it.

Wow, I am shocked.

haha!! :)

I used to like facebook, but recently it has put me off the idea of social networking sites in general which is a bit crap because I'm sure there is a better alternative I just dont want to bother as I never really use fb so would I use another alternative? hmmm

    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time

      By Malisk · Posted

      I have this one and it's great, also paired with a Mac. I like the white back aesthetics of it and ability to have all your wireless usb peripherals under a clean lid. 4K @ 120 Hz and 65W usb-c charging is not bad even at its typical price point. The U series is probably better for commercial photo work though; IIRC one reason this one is priced in a different bracket is because it's not calibrated and verified for optimal color accuracy. Not something I think of in daily use, coding, and light gaming though.
