Plastic's scratch resistance is much worse than glass though, which is kind of annoying. Plastic would be fine on a $500 phone, but at $800 there's no excuse really. 
Samsung and tweets that didn't age well, name a more iconic duo.

Yea I also use the Z mouse so the only thing I truly miss from my setup is an analog button for stuff like acceleration..... Like in casual racing like GTA 5 driving is so much more satisfying using a trigger button.
The Z in theory support analog buttons for the 2 clicks but I do not think it is possible to map GTA 5 and similar game vehicle acceleration to that.
I tried the Steam controller as a middle ground between controller and mouse and keyboard but it is just awkward.
 
Now flight sims are usually the only games that let you use all those weird and wonderful control schemes. 

Man that is such a weird thing to do?
Is this because of consoles? To even the playing field?
But as someone who has been fixated on analog movement since the g13 came out and hates controllers with a passion I can tell you that software support is a pain in the ass. Many games only allow analog movement on a controller preset that disables the mouse......

Nop....
The eye opening moments were Witcher 3 and Elite and Dangerous 

Mmmmm... Superlight might be the move here. 🙂

The Logitech G Pro X Superlight is one of the best options if you can find it in stock. It's wireless, has a really safe shape which works with most grips and it's only 60g which is nice for FPSes. The regular G Pro Wireless is good too, but it has worse stock feet and is heavier than the Superlight. (Although it is still relatively light at 80g or 77g without the bottom plate)

I use a case with my phone but yeah at $800 I agree, Samsung could use something more scratch resistant than the plastic they're using in their cheaper phones.
Yeah lol, its just disappointing the Android phone companies like Samsung brag about the features they have then go and take it away and then tell you the phone is cheaper, but its not once you buy a decent charger and earphones.

What is it with samsung and downgrading some of the specs of their cheaper phones. They did it with the Note20 vs the Note10, now the S21 too? Can't wait for the Note21 with a 720p screen and paper body.

A flat screen is positive in my book. Plastic isn't so hot, but it's also $200 less.
 
If there's a beef, it's that Apple's iPhone 12 has a higher-res (if 60Hz) screen and a glass back at the same price.

This whole thing seems like a shitshow, but man, this is honestly the worst part:
We need to hold companies more accountable when it comes to privacy, deleted means deleted. If I delete an account, my data should be completely deleted or altered so that it is no longer personally identifiable, otherwise what is even the point of deleting?

It ended up still coming back. so because i wanted to put my os on a new m.2 ssd i got for christmas as well, i reset my PC and the problem was fixed. so my conclusion is that it was windows doing something.Not the mouse or the game

Wordpress is the single, worst, CMS that is written and used by people who haven't the slightest understanding of security. WP does not come with security. Period. You have to buy plugins that only work on properly setup WP installations, of which few are. There is no security by default. 
 
I'm going to be blunt. I manage, or have previously managed WP sites, and when I couldn't get ahold of the owner of the site to do an emergency fix, I literately went to the mysql engine, and changed the email on the admin user, reset the password, did whatever I needed to do, and then copied the email back and restored the previous password.
 
Adding admin users, is absolutely trivial on wordpress, and the admin will never see them unless they're paying attention or have a security plugin that actually filters admins to ip addresses.

But can the FBI or law enforcement use evidence that was acquired, at best, in a legally questionable way? 
 
 
Side note, I got a chuckle out of reading an article that looks like a government info release... half way through a sentence and bam, [redacted].
 

I guess even if it's evidence they couldn't present in court, it may let them know who they should be looking for evidence on, and in extreme cases who belongs on a terrorist watch list. It's such weapons grade incompetence it's almost like it was intentional, like Parler was set up by the 'other side' to one day leak all this stuff.   

The fact that thousands of Americans uploaded images of the front and back of their state driver's licenses just to become 'verified citizens' on a social media app is the biggest indication I've seen that we need better privacy and technological literacy education. 

Disclaimer: Please do not talk about politics here! This post is meant to surround the data leak and the data leak only. It is again the rules of the forum to talk about politics!
 
I have removed any mentions of political anything from my quotes, so again, I am doing my best to keep politics out of this. That is why some quotes seem to start and end in the middle of sentences.
 
Summary
I do good with bullet points so here goes:
Parler is built on WordPress One of the WordPress plugins was vulnerable A Security researcher was able to use this plugin to create admin accounts on the platform These admin accounts were used to pull as much data from the platform as possible  
Quotes
Security researcher did the work. Now lets take a look into what they uncovered and how.
 
So it seems like said researcher believes there is criminal evidence on this platform for an event which shall not be named.
 
This is where it gets crazy. If you missed it, Parler failed to removed identifying metadata from the videos hosted on their platform, giving gps location data of each of the users. But wait, it gets worse... 
 
Oof is really all i can say here. All I can assume now is that there will be people who will match driver's licenses with geolocation data of images to forward any criminal activity onto the FBI and/or local law enforcement.
 
UPDATE: As @Blade of Grasspointed out, the archive pulled its data from a poorly created api. You can read about it in the tweet below:
 

 
Beyond the privacy implications, we really don't know what will happen to those whose data is leaked. There is no doubt that a database of compiled data will be up for sale on the dark web within weeks, or even days for that matter.

 
One final thing we can see here is that no data has ever been deleted from Parler, on top of their lax security. This is one of the reasons why the leakers could access so much information, even if it was deleted.
 
My thoughts
To put it simply, I am disappointed. I was not a user of Parler, but I do have to say if you market your platform towards a growing group of people not satisfied with their current social media options for one reason or another, you should do your best to make sure the security of your users is protected as much as possible. Who knows what will happen with the data, but we can for sure know that it is going to spread like wildfire.
