I’m not online enough to understand this.
Hailey "Hawk Tuah" Welch is an influencer that gained a lot of popularity from her nickname (the sound of spitting, with HEAVY implications of performing fellacio). She used her platform to voice a very reasonable and intelligent opinion, which surprised a lot of people because her nickname is essentially blowjob queen.
One of her opinions is that it's important to spread cyber security and used her fame to try to educate the public (potentially a fake story from the image? Idk this drama). And some xit-head claiming to be a cyber security expert ate the onion and offered some shitty advice. Proton fact checked them, because there are a ton of fake news stories about her right now.
I'm pretty sure that Proton quoting her in the first place is fake. I know she's milking her 15 minutes of fame for all she can, but this seems outside her experience.
When has that ever stopped people from saying shit.
Sorry, not just implication; she was straight up talking about that.

Thanks for clarifying. This thread has felt like the cyber security equivalent of the Flat Earth Theory.
Ah, OK, I'm out.
how do I reboot my computer?
Throw a brick at it.
that's gonna brick it. it's right there in its name.
people on the internet and their advice sometimes, ffs.
Nah, you just gotta do it correctly, yeah you might brick a few computers, TVs, cars or a couple electrical mains boxes, but once you master the technique you'll be able to restart anything.
We call that percussive maintenance.. the brick is optional.
That's just turning it off with Style✨
