Why the fuck would you need to log a password ever? This is absolutely malice and not incompetence.

Hanlon’s Razor revised: Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence, except where there is an established pattern of malice.
Does anyone remember an article/interview a while back where Mark Fuckerberg shamelessly admitted that he chose not to hash passwords in the original Facebook codebase specifically because he wanted to be able to log into his users’ other accounts that use the same password? I swear I remember reading something like this but now I can’t find it.
Same reason Siemens, Volkswagen, Bayer, and many more, including a ton of American ones were onboard with the Holocaust.
Genocide is good for business.
Mostly cerebal spinal fluid.
Anything that was designed be exploited was designed that way for a reason. You think Intel isn’t aware of the security issues with how they designed their CPUs?
The gyroscope can record your speech: https://crypto.stanford.edu/gyrophone/files/gyromic.pdf
And no OS requires permissions for apps to access your motion sensors.
If you’re not allowed to modify it, it’s not open source.
No, because humans are hardwired to be diurnal and there is very little we can do to change that. We have a prominant window of circadian low, and it’s one of the biggest threats to pilots that fly at night (among other safety critical jobs) even if they have slept for 8+ hours right before their shift.
You might think you can function just fine at night, you might even think you function better at night, but science says otherwise.
Additional reminder that Google not only records your location minute by minute, they also record your motion activity through your phone’s gyroscope and know exactly what you’re doing (walking, running, biking, driving, playing sports, etc). You can view all of this in your history. It’s genuinely infuriating that they can get away with this.
You can turn it off in your settings, but as with any proprietary software you can never be sure that they’re not still doing it (why wouldn’t they? that’s just leaving profit on the table)
If you’re working for a multinational tech company handling sensitive user data and still make this mistake, then you are being malicious in your incompetence. This is something that would cause you to lose a significant amount of marks on a first year college programming project, let alone a production system used by literally billions of people.
