    Elon’s shock and fury about the database key sounds like he got a report from an out-of-breath 20 year old DOGE kid who thinks they’re hot shit and discovered some massive flaw.

    Elon also seems like the kind of person that believes a database schema is all that’s needed to govern a population.

      Database schema = “Not fraudulant”, what’s so hard about that? Login credentials don’t even need to be encrypted if you say no fraud before you log in, and cross your fingers. It’s basic programming knowledge, come on man. Also throw some salt over shoulder and slaughter a goat for good measure just in case.

        Don’t forget to unset the evil bit as well!

        You just describe half of my career. 😅

          You joke, but one of the programs at my work we use legit doesn’t need credentials, just a username. That one’s a head scratcher to me.

            Would that almost be OK if it were like 40 characters long? Like, you can view any photo on Google Photos if you have the right alphanumeric string

            Would still be saved insecurely in password managers and other issues though

        Login? Why would I do that? Aren’t the credentials in the code? I just hit the go button.

            If they weren’t in plain text how could we check to make sure it’s still there?
