"NASA was founded by Ron Hubbard, Walt Disney, and Aleister Crowley". Honestly, I’m surprised he didn’t throw in Dr. Doom for good measure.

"a fraction of %1 of people reuse the same password"? The vast majority of people reuse the same password everywhere.

a flat earth app needing a globe formula to work is crazy. as they say, no flat earth debunker quite like a flat earther

Purchase of Dave's Flat Earth app: $3
Subscription to extra features: $11
Finding out the apps location features are based on a globe: Priceless

"How did they make a globe when no one had seen it?" Probably the same way they dug a tunnel from France to England and vice versa simultaneously yet managed to meet in the middle - maths!

I love how dave Weiss is a proponent for doing your own research, but then shows a meme of walt Disney and dead people founding NASA

It's extremely easy to decompile apps. The fact the users/passwords are saved as plain text on a website is actually frightening! No hashes no private IP locked access no nothing 🤦

I find it amazing how they think that a globe conspiracy would be so incompetent to give up their game in their logos, but competent enough to fool everyone.

Users on his app showing up in the south pole is fucking hilarious.

Dave isn't a flat earther. He knows what he's doing. He's made a killing from being a 'flat earther'.

I went to Antarctica about 15 years ago. I worked in the Kitchen at McMurdo Station. I was there for a year. Amazing place and I can confirm there is indeed sunlight for 24 hours.

Sudden thought: Hans Holbein's famous painting 'The Ambassadors' has a globe in it. It was painted in 1533. It also has a celestial globe in it, showing the positions of the stars.

How can they have used a globe as thier logo in the 1920s, when we didnt go to space until the 1960s?

Hi, this is Atlas from the 2nd century. You might have heard of me.

7:20 Im a web developer. You never store passwords.  Not even encrypted.  What you store is hashed password.  You use an algorithm that basically generates a unique key based on the password that you can re-generate to match against in to a re-entered password. That is a base level thing.

Even then I would recommend doing something called "Salt and pepper" the password.  You mix the password with a global key and a user specific key so that even A) the password doesn't match a hash of another service but B) so that even if you have two users with the same password their stored hash key are not the same.

Doing less than this means that you are a complete amateur and should not be releasing services to the public.

FE Dave said "If your stupid enough to use the same password." Did he forget that 600k people were stupid enough to buy his app? 100% of flerfs are stupid enough to use the same password for everything.

Dirth: "You can't see more than 25 miles due to thick atmosphere!"
Also Dirth: "Here you can see mountains 700 miles away!"

Absolute scammer clown.

Calling that hacking reminds me of when Josh Renaud (journalist for St. Louis Post-Dispatch) was almost charged with hacking for viewing HTML and seeing that a website leaked SSNs right in the HTML. Dude just hit F12.

"...then how does he have a flat earth map if apparently nobody's been high enough to see the whole flat earth?" WHAT A TAKEDOWN! Bravo!

As one of the people currently researching DIRT's app... yeah... I can tell you it's still definitely not secure.
