lmao so they literally sent people into crime syndicates to hand out phones using this app the gov/FBI created.

holy gently caress that is dumb as poo poo that they actually accepted and starting using the phones.

I think its' loving brilliant. Such a relatively simple plan, bypassing all the digital privacy laws and not dealing with trying to backdoor/exploit commercial apps like whatsapp etc. Imagine if they let it run longer letting the app become the defacto standard, and CHARGED for it.

The guy who comes up with the next legit privacy app is going to be scrutinized something fierce by the baddies.

Scottie from Marketing can gently caress right off though, didn't have anything to do with it, let the AFP have their day in the sun.

I didn't, but mr bee did for about nine months when he had his foot amputated because apparently Lyrica is good for neurological pain. It's hard to say when it started working for him or to what extent it helped as he was on iv ketamine for four days post surgery, and then on other opiate painkillers after that for the next few weeks. But his symptoms were managed well after that point in time.

One thing I will say is that it completely hosed with his short term memory, he would repeatedly tell me things with no recollection of having the same conversations just minutes or hours prior. He would get confused easily and forget why he'd entered a room. It also seemed to make him very irritable, which I'd expect would be reasonable after having a limb removed, but this got worse the longer he was on it for.

If someone came up to me and said 'hey, here is this phone for free, use it for all your banking' i would a) wipe the phone and b) put it in the bin and go back to using my personal device I purchased.

if I was a criminal, Id take the phone, wipe it and kill the bloke that gave it to me.

the fact that the criminals just took a device someone gave them and started using it, to the extent that it became *the* primary communication for all levels of crime, is absolutely hilarious.

How is it any time there's an outbreak like this they have a whole day-trip itinerary to infect people with? It's never just "stopped in at Woolies between 4:20pm and 4:40pm", it's always this whole winding trip of shops, cafes, and bars throughout the day just to make sure COVID gets as many places as possible.
