I swear to god I’ve heard that the telemarketer/robocaller problem is finally solved like ten times over the course of my life.
You build a 10 foot high wall, they will build an 11 foot ladder. Stir/shaken was good for like 6 months before spam callers were able to bypass that security measure.
If only the phone system in the US, like the rest of the modern world, had robust authentication. It’s all a bit hacked together, much like the solution.
STIR/SHAKEN had yet to be fully implemented, so while most carriers are now signing calls, almost none are taking action against unsigned calls.
I have hope that it will become a useful tool in the future for blocking spam and even bad carriers who are signing anything and everything.
It will be solved when scientists finally release a new revolutionary kind of battery.
This one uses semi-litho oscillating iron cores, but essentially amounts to a fancy capacitor with some extra bells and whistles.
Now this one is the most promising to take on lithium ion. It’s just a giant water wheel. You find a nearby source of swiftly flowing water and it has more battery life than even a nuclear power plant!
This is just a rock, but our scientists are hopeful it can produce a discharge rate faster than an atomic bomb.
None are even close to viable, but they will suck up millions in investor money. Invest today! /s
And let’s not talk about clickbait articles from BuzzFeed and other places.
Nah, you also have to wait until there are equitable food distribution instead of payments to destroy “surplus.”
The one good thing that W did was the do not call registry, that worked for a while at least.
Also then became the best phone number list for scammers
It can be solved with robocallers honeypots
Yeah, same. I’ll fuckin’ believe it when I see it. Can’t tell you how many times I have people tell me about the national do-not-call list as if I haven’t been on it already for a decade and scammers and spammers don’t respect it anyway and are unpunished for ignoring it.
Need to figure out a way to go after posters soliciting this kind of coders in the USA on rentacoder sites, but then there’s the poor coders from other countries who will do it for a few cents on the dollar.
The existence in the first place of robo-dialing loopholes is criminal, and we ought to be able to prosecute it as such. I have no doubt that FCC leaders have accepted bribes to make everyone’s phones shittier.
It would be really nice for everyone if we could get a consistent streak of non-criminals leading the FCC.
The FCC order will take effect 30 days after it’s published in the Federal Register. A public draft of the order was released ahead of the FCC meeting.
So bad actors have at least 30 days to pull as much data as they can right now. People who keep their existing phone numbers may very well still be targets of robocalls because a database can be compiled right now, if it hasn’t already happened. And unless you change your number and your new number is a currently unassigned number, you could still be targeted, since the number is in a list of phone numbers; your new number just wouldn’t be listed as assigned to you. So maybe 10-15% of the people who change their phone numbers will be OK?
these new rules have nothing to do with how the bad guys obtain targets’ phone numbers, they’re about how they get assigned phone numbers.
I see you’re new here. Nobody reads the articles
I thought this would be like old reddit where that sort of thing would be buried. Nope lol.
When did people read the article on old reddit?
2004?
Last Nevuary, duh
It’s tangentially related so I can discuss it.
Ive been thinking of changing carriers. may just do this after the 30 days and go for a new number.
