Unless it was the website I needed inorder to receive an organ donation, I would just close it.
I could claim that’s an act of righteous protest, but really I just know that absent my needing a new liver, there’s no website I would ever care enough about to get me to scan a QR code just to keep browsing.
Oh yeah?
And when will this deal be be finalized?
Because pushing a press release to juice the markets is a lot different than Anthropic actually finding $200 billion in their office couch cushions.
I avoid confrontation, but I’m not afraid of it.
I would have no problem loudly asking that man if his foot fungus was contagious, or he was on medication that prevented its spread.
Many VPN providers regularly rotate their IP ranges.
Regardless, that wouldn’t reveal to a website where the traffic was originating from.
I understand.
Which is why I’m suggesting they preemptively block everyone in Utah. Protesting needs to inconvenience people and good protests redirect that anger towards those in power.
“Utah’s new law us makes us legally liable for providing our services to residence in Utah using a VPN. As that is not technically possible, we have no choice but to cease operating in Utah, or allowing Utah residents to use our services.”
But whether or not that particular strategy would be an effective from a protest, is a moot point, as big tech is behind these types of age verification and use identification laws, and those are the only websites and services with a large enough user base to make a difference here.
That’s the point…
It would be protest against Utah’s dumb law, with an even dumber response, that’s designed specifically to inconvenience people in Utah…
Web services and websites should block all Utah IP addresses and redirect to page explaining that because they cannot tell who’s using a VPN, their only option is to block all of Utah.
Yes, I understand how dumb that is, but sometimes you have to fight stupid with stupider.
Has anyone tried rebooting it?
That usually works.
lol
I’ll take shiny things that jingle, but never materialize, for 100.
Nothing, they’re blowing it out of proportion.
However, if you put them into a banking machine or deposit in your bank, then serial tracking can become something you should at least be aware of.
Counter measures don’t typically make a weapon platform obsolete.
What makes a weapon platform obsolete is that it’s role is no longer needed in battle.
Long-rang strikes and precision fires, are the new meta.
Expect to see a proliferation of new countermeasures, such as cheaper and more plentiful detection systems, of which radars will play a part, but they’re also easy to detect and destroy i.e. SEAD.
The TVs you buy at Costco or Walmart aren’t meant to be run 24/7 365. They never have been.
He should have said commerical displays, which are basically TV’s rated for long continuous use e.g. digital signage.
I haven’t dealt with them in some time, but I would imagine many, if not most, do not include consumer smart tv features, although they probably have other embedded smart tech to help with stuff like signage.
Russia has banned them, sort of.
Although I don’t think their methods would work here, or rather, I don’t think they could grab the kind of power necessary.
Russia now has regional internet blackouts, were they effectively only allow a small number of white listed sites to be accessible.
So if you you literally cannot reach the VPN servers because only a handful of Russian government websites, preferred businesses, and UK banks (oligarchs gotta oligarch) are whitelisted, well then you banned VPNs, again, sort of.
They did roll out a government approved VPN for specific approved individuals and use cases, to a get around those blackouts…so that’s something.
Do you think this is the first person that this particular detective has tried to railroad because they were too lazy to do any real work?
I would be shocked if every single one of his previous cases weren’t full of half-truths, lies, and just generally sloppy work.
At no point that did I say that the killing of the girls was a strategic move to demoralize the IRGC.
And I remain dumbfounded as to why people keep giving the benefit of the doubt to Trump and Hegseth.
I’m not saying it was a strategic choice, I’m saying I could easily see Pete being a sadist who got off on killing those schoolgirls, who approved the strike package based on that alone, and that’s before you even consider his crusades and killing Muslims fetishes.
In that scenario the fact that they are the children of IRGC members just gives him an excuse to rationalize his choice to pleasure himself with their blood.
Again, I don’t know that’s what happened, but I know it’s just as likely as it being an “oppsie” when the man in charge of the Pentagon is a known abuser of women, in addition to being a drunk moron ultra Zionist Christian nationalist with crusader tattoos.
I genuinely don’t know why you’re giving them the benefit of the doubt.
None of us here knows the truth, and I would posit that it’s just as likely, if not more likely, that that school was targeted intentionally, as it was used for the children of IRGC officers.
AI slop, be gone.
Can a mod please remove this post?
Starmer might actually be worse than Boris.
Holy fucking shit.
Once they have the data, there’s no turning back.
