Oh man, I wish I had enough karma to downvote this comment! (I’m in NM ;))

Ahh, this is a great tip. I’ll have to double check now.

Thanks.

It's crazy that companies are still using SMS for 2FA. TOTP solves this problem is a much more elegant way and is immune to such attacks.

I'm assuming you are talking about ARGOS tags (more sophisticated tag that actually transmits GPS (last comment was talking about pet tags (which are RFID)), but it's FAR from microscope / injectable via needle. I get it, people's lack of understanding about technology is what fuels the conspiracy theories. They don't realize that no company NEEDS to track them as they have already traded all of that information away years ago.

I have some close friends that subscribe to such theories and no amount of tech discussion will convince them otherwise.

People will believe what they want :/

That's a 'dumb` RFID chip. I don't think folks are too concerned with offline chips that require close proximity scanning (for power). RFID also doesn't 'track' dogs. They contain information about the dog to get them back to their owner. The info is static and contains NO location data.

I can't understand the 'microchip in vaccines' issue. You mean to tell me that my iPhone can't last a full day on a battery charge, however we have microscopic tech capable of tracking location data and relaying it somewhere and doesn't need charging once injected into the body?

I'll take my microchip in space grey please.

That title font is hard to read.

And he didn’t even provide an affiliate link! I’m impressed.

We have a mix of employees / contractors but usually hover around 9-10.

As far as asking questions, it’s about the long game. I aim to build relationships with people and establish myself/my team as an authority on software dev.

Almost none of my meetings are “sales” meetings, in fact we never do advertising at all. All leads come from people who eventually want work or refer their colleagues. Some meetings pan out and others don’t.

"I don't have a ton of networking skills"

Work on this. I have built my consultancy over the past 6 years and it started with me doing freelance and now we do over $1m/year in revenue.

I attribute the majority of success to networking. Here are some of the things I did early on (and still continue to some extent).

1. Local meetups. Great place to show off, hear about leads, etc...

2. Find influencers / networkers in your area and buy them coffee. Ask tons of questions and end with "Who else do you think I should be talking to?"

3. Build stuff - I decided I wanted our team to be known locally for doing crypto dev, so I just started building cool stuff and showing it off at the local dev meetups. Now we have tons of crypt contracts!

Whatever you do, come at it with the attitude of wanting to contribute to the community using your gifts/skills. The work will follow.

Best of luck!

So, code updates from the server doesn't matter as we can hook all of the audio recording APIs at a system level. Their _only_ defense IMHO is to NOT do it on Jailbroken devices. You are right, it's super easy to detect jailbroken devices.

Interesting. So you are suggesting they may have already considered this and may have some defensive programming around it?
