The most fascinating part for me is that 6 year old managed to find a way to circumvent biometric security without hacking off someone's finger: authenticate while the user is asleep.

Necessity is truly the mother of innovation.

And I thought me using a keylogger as a teen to access my mom's AOL account was impressive. Clever 6 year old.

I wish my tech arms race with my parents had been simple...I had to socially engineer my dad into logging into the router on my desktop(no keylogger, just firefox password saving) so I could bypass whatever he was doing to cut me off at midnight.

[toxican]

In some ways mine wasn't as simple as it seems. My primary source of consistent access to the internet was a 1 hour time-limited, content-restricted AOL account. I had to learn and acquire anything I needed within those confines. Even Google was blocked...I had to use some weird, generic search engine. And I couldn't escape to do these things at school because their computers were even more locked down/monitored. After I got busted for using the keylogger (less than 24 hours later), I discovered the wonderful world of using fake info to get unlimited juno trial accounts (x hours for free!!)

My solution was much more elegant: spoof his MAC address.

[goda90]

Yeah, one thing he did was MAC filter me. But for awhile he was changing the hidden ssid by one letter. I was so happy to discover that.

I rewired our telephone lines so that I could switch off the downstairs phone from my bedroom while using my modem. It took my Dad about two days to figure out what was up and find the switch under my desk.

Many friends of mine disabled that feature right after the story about someone's wife unlocked it while he was asleep. That can be orders of magnitude more expensive than $250, in one touch.

Anyone for whom this is a concern should probably consider divorce.

[wruza]

And... why? Which profit do you get from divorce that covers all economic and moral expenses (let's consider family with children)?

[coldtea]

You think the problem in that marriage would stop with iPhone purchases?

[codeddesign]

When your first thought in terms of your marriage is economic and moral expenses, you have a bigger issue within your marriage than whatever may be on your phone.

[taude]

Seriously, agree.

[m_eiman]

Seriously, how many people have things on their phone that they are desperatly trying to keep hidden from their SO (and still don't DELETE THE STUFF)?

[Shivetya]

if you are hiding stuff from your spouse you have larger issues that you should acknowledge and address. With regards to the article parents needs to disable in app purchases on any device a child can reasonably be expected to get access too

[rokhayakebe]

You could hide stuff from your spouse for many good and bad reasons. Maybe you are preparing a surprise gift and you took photos. Maybe your spouse has a bad spending habit and will ruin the both of you, so you hide the other bank account. Maybe your spouse is abusive and is threatening to leave you at any moment, so you hide money to get ready for that day. Maybe your spouse parents are calling you regularly to see how they are doing. Maybe, maybe, maybe.

[jrnichols]

maybe you're questioning sexuality and aren't sure how to discuss it with your super born again religious wife.

(I saw this come up in a Facebook group a few months ago)

[Posting sort of anonymously] My spouse and I will probably never see eye to eye on porn. I agree that it's a bigger issue, but do I need to address it?

[Infinitesimus]

Definitely a much bigger debate (and off-topic)

For me it was a matter of porn not being as important to me as she was so the porn had to go. Plus for some people, porn does affect their own interactions with their partner negatively (reduces sexual drive, reduced sexual interest in their partner since s/he isn't like what they see in porn, etc.). Some people also view their spouses' watching porn as a sign that the one who doesn't like porn is inadequate - which leads to all sorts of insecurities coming out.

As usual, different strokes for different folks. Whether you _need_ to address it is entirely up to you and what you want from your relationship.

(I do know couples who both were into porn and that didn't cause an issue)

[lostgame]

Neither my primary partner or I are particularly into porn - it's just really not our thing. That being said, I think a sense of solo sexuality is a really important part to any intimate relationship but that's just, like, my opinion, man.
