for my original point, I’d say that an Alexa is a single point of access for giving your info to law enforcement, whereas a phone has multiple (ie each app and website) and pcs have more software and less stringent access policies (ie less likely to have facial recognition or fingerprint recognition as the barrier to access) and you can just open the case and take out the hard drive much easier.

I mean “average person” can mean a lot of different things, but the plurality of any given person in the world owns both.

Well it depends whether active usage is a vector in how secure a device is. If security is exposure to risk / frequency of use, you are correct, same with exposure to risk / percent of global ownership (66% smart phone, 50% personal computer), but if we’re talking about any given device with an even chance it’s a pc or smartphone, I’m willing to bet (although I don’t have proof) that any given smartphone is slightly more secure.

so do laptops, and most pcs will have a webcam and mic attached.

Sticking with “the average pc” and “the average phone” — I’d say there are more vectors of vulnerability in the wide arrange of sites and programs the average person interacts with on their PC than there is on a phone, as well as a PC being a better target to compromise than someone’s phone.

Happy to be proved wrong but I rarely hear about someone’s phone being randomwared, botnetted, remote accessed etc

this gonna be an unpopular take, but your mobile phone is worse for privacy than an Alexa or Google Home. And most people’s PCs are worse than their phones.

as a bisexual, either, both or none works for me.

for reference that’d be taking a three minute break after working for 4 months without eating, sleeping or even pausing, and then working another 4 months without moving from your chair.

I wish you all the best and hope you’re doing better now, and I mean this with respect but it’s pretty fucking funny that the answer to “hmm maybe I jerk off too much” is “do horse”

our second car is a hyundai so we’ve gone back to The Club to prevent it from getting stolen with a thumb drive

that would instantly make me very dumb and require a lot of explaining on the phone. like “when I say hello mister Thompson and press down on your foot then you smile and nod, do you understand?” levels of dumb.

“I’ve used up all the vowels! there are only 5! this means the only password left is rhythm”

“no you can use the same vowels just they can’t be in the same place”

“like I have to do it in my kitchen?”

“no the same place in the word”

“so it has to be the same word with different letters?”

“no, it has to be a different word with different letters”

“well like I said I already used all the vowels”

it has a big red button that says “don’t speak to me” though

if I had to speak to them it wouldn’t have that button

totally different from every other joke and meme in history

kilroy was here he said you just lost The Game
