Fucking insane a 16 year old kid figured it out.

It's always wild to me thinking how good kids are with tech these days to be able to crack something like this (assuming it's true).

    Maybe it’s because I’m getting older, but it always seems to me that kids are living in a world where they need to as present in their digital realities as much, if not more than, their actual ones. At work it seems like they are trying to be in two places at once sometimes.

    Most kids are clueless with tech to be honest. Yes they know how to use it, but they have no idea how it works behind the scenes. This has pretty scary consequences on how they are easily manipulated or scammed.

    Some of them are very smart, sure, but on average I'd say they are less tech savvy than Gen X and millennials who grew up at a time you couldn't use computers without some kind of knowledge of how it works (and smartphones didn't exist).
