Your PUK is wrong. The PUK isn’t actually checked until you set the new PIN. It’s stupid but it’s been that way since forever, I definitely remember it on my Alcatel OT 302.

So you should definitely find the correct PUK before trying again.

I mean, they intentionally and knowingly destroy people’s lives because some poor fella pirated. They try to bully and destroy other companies by claiming patents after the company reveals what their game will be about.

Sure, they’re not the worst company, but I’m not talking about companies that openly profit from war or whatever, I was talking about companies that pretend to be friendly while actively and intentionally hurting people.

Making someone who doesn’t have hundreds of millions pay hundreds of millions for the rest of their lives for sharing a stupid few games online is pretty fucking vile in my book.

But yeah, if I had to choose the vilest company in the category of looks-friendly-but-is-actually-evil, I’d probably choose Nestlé. Though all of the big 5 are also competing for the top spots.

Well, just fuck them. If you want more incentive, just look at how many lives they destroyed in the chase of money. They’re one of the most disgusting companies in the world.

If someone deserves having all their games pirated, it’s definitely Nintendo.

Ah, so reporting stuff he said as if it was true, even though this is not a Signal security issue, but his incompetence is fine in your book?

So what, if Trump says random bullshit, every news piece about it should sound like they actually agree with what he said?

Okay, enjoy your articles about Signal security issues.

I don’t particularly care about your fish or your frying.

And are you going to call both a “bank security issue”?

So you’re gonna pretend that’s your first interpretation of the meaning of the sentence, huh?

Edit: Also, that’s wrong interpretation of what happened either way, guess the title doesn’t work even if you’re intentionally obtuse.

Nope, it’s not. The part saying “the only glitch in two months” is indicated as a quote, but overall the title sounds like there’s a security issue in Signal and Trump chose to dismiss it because it’s the only glitch in the last two months.

Sure, but I don’t really care what that idiot thinks. When I read an article about there being a “Signal security failure,” I expect there to be a Signal security failure.

Nah, the idiot is the one who spreads misinformation by using misleading titles. In what world did a “Signal security failure” occur? The title is extremely misleading and one can only hope it was incompetence; not intent.

What Trump calls things should be irrelevant to a news site.

Which idiot created the title?

For anyone interested: there wasn’t any Signal security failure, someone sent stuff via Signal to people they shouldn’t have.

It doesn’t support port forwarding, it’s not the best VPN for torrenting, your downloading will be limited.

I personally use ProtonVPN which does have port forwarding.

Sure, sure. I think it was obvious what I’m talking about, but yeah, you got me.

That’s some fine mental gymnastics!

Well, as I said in my first comment, that no one cares today doesn’t mean no one will care tomorrow. If it’s illegal, you should take precautions.

VPNs are a barrier, true. But prison bars or having to pay millions to huge corporations are even bigger barriers. Sure, it might not happen to everyone and it probably won’t happen to most. If you want to gamble with your life, go ahead, but please, don’t tell others some form of protection isn’t needed.

If you don’t want to or can’t pay, don’t torrent. There are other, safer ways to get content.

Are there any countries where torrenting is legal? AFAIK, all countries ban sharing of copyrighted content. For example where I live it’s legal to download stuff, but not sharing it with others. You can’t really avoid sharing with torrents.

Always use a VPN. With torrents you actively share the file which is illegal pretty much anywhere.

Even if no one cares today, someone might tomorrow.

So glad I migrated away from Gmail few years ago.

All manufacturers do it. Of course, not all of them report to China specifically.

If you want to be safe, you could use a phone like Xperia with Sailfish OS (though beware it’s not Android and it’s less user friendly), Pixel with a Graphene OS or something that supports Lineage OS.

Well, it’s still a hack, not something officially supported, I wouldn’t really consider them DRM-free when you still need Steam to run the game officially.

I’m not ruling out Steam either, they’ve done a lot of good for gaming and I buy games there if I really want them and there’s close to no chance they’re coming to GOG (like the recent Dragon Age), but more and more often I decide that I don’t actually want that game that much.
