What are some (not illegal) ideas to make corporations feel the pain when they allow our data to be stolen?

Bold of you to assume a corporation storing passwords in plain text would be using AV

Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before
Simple premise is basically Minesweeper, but all the puzzles are handcrafted with some neat designs and concepts that will stretch your puzzle solving to the limit. Also importantly, no guessing required to solve and it’s dirt cheap for the amount of hours of puzzles you get!

Huawei anti-porn filter may be active non-Chinese devices. [UPDATED]
This is a bit victim blamey but why the heck would you buy a Huawei device outside of China? Have to assume you can’t be familiar with the many criticisms…

The decline of sex in films
I wonder how much of this correlates with the rise of intimacy coordinators. I’m sure there are productions that think it’s not worth the investment so they just scrap the scene and have it take place off camera etc.
And perhaps a rise in actors not wanting to have their stuff on the internet forever now (even more so with the rise of AI training)

Children addicted to video games ran away from home in the middle of the night to find WiFi when parents turned their internet connection off, says expert
Reply in thread
Back when I was a kid I got into building a cantenna and aircrack-ng when my parents shut the internet off every night. Wasn’t addicted to games, just found it interesting and entertaining. Also came in handy in the days of shaped internet when you ran out of GB for the month.

This looks rad!
On a similar note I Wanna Maker which is more or less Mario Maker but free and tonnes of developer created and user created levels to play through.

what was your biggest, "it was at this moment he knew ... he fucked up" moment?
Updated the number of key iterations on my Bitwarden password manager. Logs out every device instantly. It’s fine, just log back in right? Well guess which dodo put their Bitwarden 2 factor OTP inside Bitwarden and nowhere else, and didn’t write down the recovery key or anything. Yeah.
Lesson learned. Also made me realise how few places that have 2 factor authentication actually care about it for password recovery. I think Bitwarden was the only place with 2 factor where I couldn’t get back in (that I cared about anyway). The rest I was able to get my account back through other means

Adobe Photoshop's AI tools put women politicians in bikini bottoms and their male colleagues in suits
Reply in thread
Does it though? Adobe simply claimed it would require human intervention and approval. Which is true and easily provable. You can’t replace someone’s clothing without selecting a part of the image you want to replace.
Someone had to go and do that. Someone hit generate on an AI prompt. Someone saw the result of said AI prompt (which gives you 3 possible alternatives each run) and said “yep, print it”.
This is not a tale of the biases of generative AI. There’s literally no reason for Nine to have even invoked any such thing in the first place.

New Portal pinball table may be the closest we’re gonna get to Portal 3
Reply in thread
I recommend Portal Revolution too. It felt closer to a genuine 3 story.
Portal Reloaded was great but also quite complex compared to the first two games and I think most people who liked 1 and 2 would find it frustratingly difficult at times.

Depends a lot on the games and compatibility. As mentioned Switch is definitely emulateable and often runs great but it heavily depends on the title.

No, it’s an exaggaration. According to StreetSmart Australia 14% of people became homeless due to becoming unemployed suddenly
With that said we do have MUCH better social welfare programs here in Australia than the US, though there is always more that could be done
