RomanceRe: Faithful Men: What Keeps You From Cheating? by Carnivorouslamb: 4:05pm On Apr 19, 2023
A woman shouldn't expect to marry a man for sexual loyalty but for financial, physical and security provision becos men and women arent the same. Men marry women for emotional and moral support which includes helping to organize the home and sexual loyalty/purity. This is why female virginity has always been a prized asset for years. When women start accepting that the role for men and women esp. in marriages and relationships in general are different then they would start to live in peace with themselves and men. As long as a man doesnt bring any health hazards to his wife and his actions outside the home with other women doesnt in any way affect his primary or secondary responsibilities and obligations, you cannot label a man as a cheat. Wise women know their roles and maintain their lane while diligently performing their duties.

Is their security tight enough cos they have been rejecting my NIN number leaving me with only the BVN option for account authentication which i am always skeptical about giving that information to an untrusted source. Please what do you think?

Please, people are criticizing this prankster for doing this. Is he to be blamed for the girls looseness?

How can you be doing runs at your place of work and now everyone is saying the guy did wrong. Me I don't see any wrong here. If the girl was decent and well trained, she won't fall for this. So cheap. All her is on the money. Kai! Girls!!! who do us like this?

Let them keep getting disgraced until they change and begin to live a decent life.

Just watch how this girl was disgraced.

Some people will just never know where to draw the line until they meet their waterloo.. I dont know why Nigerians always do their things in excess with a disdain to justify their stupidity. Since when were u assigned the right to become social police and embarrassing people with your stwupid pranks.. Until someone is taught a bitter lesson with these stupid pranks then they would all know where to draw the line.

TravelRe: A Fellow Passenger Did This Inside A Taxi. Who Is Right? by Carnivorouslamb: 7:05am On Oct 28, 2021
Guy, you are absolutely wrong even though we can agree that the lady lacks manner of approach.. The lady was the first the get into the taxi and took her position by the door which normally should be her advantage, so you been the last to eventually enter the taxi doesnt really have a say as to where u should sit at that moment. Its left for the person by the door side to decide to shift for you to come take their place by the preferred door sit or come out for you to go take the middle or whatever sit is remaining which is absolutely their right.. And if it doesnt suit you, you can decide not to board and wait for the next taxi where u can try take a preferred sit position. I think that's just taxi ethics and its been so for as long as i can remember. So bros that right you were claiming wasnt really your right, it was hers.

ProgrammingMore Than 750,000 Lenovo Laptops Have Spy Ware Pre-installed In Them by Carnivorouslamb(op): 4:25pm On Sep 07, 2017

Wasn't Paying Attention: 750,000 Laptops Had Sҏy wâre

If you have a three-year-old laptop at home, it may be secretly collecting “visual- data” on your web-browsing habits and using it for advertising purposes.

The Federal Trade Commission announced Tuesday that it had settled with the Beijing-based electronics company over three violations that show how the agency is continuing i clampdown on companies that invade customer privacy.

Acting FTC chairman Maureen Ohlhausen told Inverse Tuesday during a teleconference that some 750,000 Lenovo laptops — sold between August 2014 and June 2015 — came pre-installed with a program called Visual Discovery, made by the Palo Alto, California-based firm Süpėr fish. The software would act as a “man-in-the-middle” between a consumer’s browser and the website they visited.

“Imagine the online equivalent of someone, without your knowledge, intercepting your mail, opening it, reading it, re-sealing it and putting it back in your mailbox,” Ohlhausen said. “That’s what we allege the software did.”

If you’re curious how Visual Discovery scraped user data to make money, Naked Security offers this great example: “If you’re looking at an ad for a chest of drawers, Süpėr fish, going by the example on its own website, can help you find a matching sideboard (credenza).” The software would then “keep its eye out for related sites, all based on images instead of relying on old-fashioned keywords.”

It would also keep its eyes on consumer’s personal info, like log-in credentials, Social Security numbers, bank account information, medical information, and emails, investigators learned. And if you went to a “spööfed” website, i.e., one that looked like a furniture store but was really data-capturing one, you’d be up a creek.

How did this mess, exactly? Süpėr fish is a third-party vendor, and while Ohlhausen didn’t say that Lenovo was unaware this software was spying on users, she did call on computer-makers to be cautious about partnering up with contractors that might not have the best intentions.

“Everybody in the chain needs to pay attention,” she said. “This happened to be one of the world’s largest computer manufacturers and I think it sends an important message: If you are going to install these kinds of software, you need to pay attention to what it’s collecting, what you’re telling consumers, and the kinds of risks that it might be creating.”

Ohlhausen also took a moment to connect the dots about the FTC’s reinvigorated mission to protect consumers from tech companies that surreptitiously scrap personal data.

“To put today’s announcement in context, this is the third privacy case that the FTC has announced in the past 30 days,” Ohlhausen said. “The first was against Uber and the second was tax preparation firm Tax Slayer.

“Those of you who follow the FTC can find some common themes from these cases: All of them involve sensitive information, so driver’s license numbers, and other financial information, in the Uber case,” she said. “Social Security numbers and tax information in Tax Slayer. And contents of consumer’s information in today’s case. All of the cases involve conduct that caused or was likely to cause substantial harm to consumers.”


Here are the affected Lenövo computers:

Affected Lenövo models include many in its affordable range — the lower half of its range — giving the possible interpretation that Süpėr fish was targeting low-income or young consumers. Included brands were the E-Series, Edge Series, Flex-Series, G-Series, Miix Series, S-Series, U-Series, Y-Series, Yoga Series, and Z-Series. Full List on the first photo after this article.

What’s Lenövo’s punishment?

At this stage, the FTC can’t actually levy any sort of fine against Lenövo, but if Lenövo violates the orders the FTC announced, the federal agency can lay down the fine hammer.

However, the attorneys general in 32 states acted alongside the FTC and those states have fined the company. In total, Lenövo will pay out $3.5 million to the 32 states. The leading state in the case was Connecticut, and its attorney general, George Jepsen, announced Tuesday that the state will receive $286,145 in settlement funds.

What’s next for Lenövo? Well, “Lenövo will have to ask users to give permission when the company pre-installs software (with certain limited exceptions) if it functions as adware, or if it sends personal information to another company.” Exceptions include things like parental controls or anti virus software.


How to remove Süpėr fish sҏy wâre from your Lenovo computer

The company set up a web page — “Süpėr fish Uninstall Instructions” — after reports on security blogs in early 2015 shined a light on the sҏy wâre. Lenovo said Tuesday that it didn’t know of any cases of tampering.

“To date, we are not aware of any actual instances of a third party exploiting the vulnerabilities to gain access to a user’s communications,” the company announced with a statement on its website Tuesday.
