A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Phones are a bit more ubiquitous for older folks though. Imagine a vulnerability that allows me to post my "pic" as pulling from your phone and it comes up with a picture of your cousin or something. Or if I'm targeting you, you're an old person that doesn't understand technology and you see your granddaughter show up in the picture and don't look at the number or anything. There seems to be a lot of ways this can be abused. I hope I'm wrong and we'll never see a story about people abusing it, but people pretty much always abuse these things.
