It's like when someone tells me something is unbreakable. It becomes my mission to come up with a way of breaking it.

It's like the Titanic, it was doomed the moment someone called it unsinkable. No self-respecting universe would let that slide.

[-] WeirdAlex03@lemmy.zip 33 points 1 year ago

Fun fact: The "unsinkable" actually came from its sister Olympic, after it came out relatively unscathed from a collision with the Hawke (Wikipedia link)

damage to Olympic and Hawke - Olympic has a hole in the side of its hull, Hawke's bow has been completely mangled and now looks pug-nosed

Fun fact: Between the 3 ships of the class, Olympic was the only that survived to retirement. Britannic was sunk by a mine in WWI after less than a year in service.

Well, and they ran out of the good bolts halfway through building the titanic and they had to use cheaper ones. And the captain thought it was fine to just barrel full steam ahead in a the foggy and icy north Atlantic.

Hi, I'm the president of life lock and you can't hack my identi... Hold on, wait! Let me finish this commercial first!

Quality old school reference.

Omg I tried to google that to see how old it was and there are so many NEW lifelock data breaches! I can’t even find that original shitshow.

I legit feel really bad for all the people who got scammed by major companies “anti-“ programs.. They don’t know better and our laws should be so much more robust.

I’m not sure about how LifeLock operated in the past, but the second they became associated with Norton they became irrelevant. Norton has yet to produce a worthwhile product in any category. At best their services are useless and at worst actively harmful to consumers.

Merging with Norton was a lateral move, if that helps. And I agree with everything you said about Norton.

Wait did that dude end up getting hacked? Don’t remember that.

[-] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

Idk about hacked but his identity was stolen at least 13 times as of 2018, and the company was fined for deceptive advertising practices and basically running a scam.
