Soft paywalls only exist on badly made sites (which make up a large part of all sites so it's still more effective than it has any right to be).
Many news sites with paywalls have a proper hard paywall. The only way to get around those is with an account or with an exploit. Neither of those two are going to be published for use in an extension though (as it'd get deactivated very fast).
The launcher is just an app, but the way it's set up ensures that different launcher apps cannot offer the same experience as the stock one.
Rabbit hole I dove into trying to figure out why my back to homepage didn't feel snappy (like the swipe up animation goes and only after it's done the icons load). Turns out that's pretty much intentional and the solution is rooting your phone.
Your example 2 is just describing improper input validation/bad logic. Which... Is still hacking. It's just a different category of vulnerability and difficulty (though slamming a SQL inject in every input field you can't find isn't the most complex either).
Example 3: guy finds admin panel with default password - still hacking
Example 4: guy finds improperly secured admin endpoints in booking software - also hacking
Example 5: booking server wasn't updated in 2 years and hacker uses a PoC exploit he pulled from somewhere to hack it - yup also hacking
Etc
All those are wildly different ways of achieving the end result but they all share two things: 1. They're hacking 2. They're illegal to use for anything other than responsible disclosure
This week I gave up on trying to convince the teamlead an oauth access token lifetime of 5 years is too much. Yes, an access token, not an API key. There's no revocation mechanism either.
At home I fixed RBAC for traefic, after wading through config and in the end basically just flipping switches until it worked. It does work now though so admin apps are inaccessible to family accounts. Still somewhat open for suggestions as I'm not 100% convinced by traefic yet.
Any superconductor will do actually, it's just that the ones we have at this point need to be really frigging cold. A room temp superconductor is the dream, and would function exactly the same as one that only works at a few kelvin.
In belgium we used to have 3 days of no-doctor-note sick leave for single days, but they were afraid of people taking it as an extra vacation day so it's been reduced to 2 now.
Sick leave with note is just errr not limited afaik though the social system does take over from your employer in terms of paying you for prolonged sickness.
It's kinda cool as in you can compile a bunch of languages to wasm, so instead of being locked to JavaScript (/typescript) you can instead code in e.g. rust, have all the advantages of the compiler and still run in the browser.
Illegal but not being enforced at all. Just like the big green 'Track me daddy' button next to a small grey 'refuse' button. Or the ones that force you to go through a list of every partner and disable each separate one. Or etc... All those are illegal, but companies love testing the limits, and with the level of enforcement... Yeah
Even software that does not require back-end resources has a cost if it's actively supported and/or receiving new features. These hours the developers put it are often unpaid when talking about open source, but it's not something anyone should take for granted.
The difference between someone worth 100 million and someone worth 100 billion is about 100 billion. But yeah finding a good point to set a limit is hard.
