Honestly no idea why they didn’t just do that to begin with.


If anyone creates accounts for this BS at least use fake information. Write the fake info down in case you need it in the future. But they have no way to know it’s fake.


Still tricky if you run a public facing site, there are constant crawlers and bots and any of those could be feeding AI.



Insurance companies would love to have it.


Well that’s good but is he going to run his own massive video distribution network for free?


I’m assuming least some of the ad revenue would go to the station owner. But I bet it often turns out to be less money than they had expected.


If the mute button doesn’t work I just go to other stations next time. Some of the gas stations around here have gotten rid of the ads.




They will ask for some time, then accidentally just take them.



Best case scenario the machine has some sort of standard software with facial recognition code, but no hardware in the machine. Would he interesting to know.


I love cars but it’s a discouraging time. There are fewer cars and more trucks and SUVs, the trucks and SUVs are too big, vehicles have too much tech that’s too intrusive, and most of all they are super expensive.


Boy that is just a garbage sandwich, garbage in garbage out with twice as much garbage.



The average salesman will act like they know but they don’t. About the only choice for a private vehicle is going to be an older vehicle. New ones are getting less private and larger and more expensive. Go with an older but we’ll cared for Honda or Toyota.




Yeah I could see the appeal of breaking the anti-cheat code. But the actual cheaters find the cheats, often pay for them, install what could easily be malware, and take the risk of getting banned for using them. I don’t get the appeal.


Yeah normally, but in some circumstances on Linux an excessive amount of shader caches are downloaded. I tried Linux gaming on a ~50GB partition and quickly ran out of space because of all the shaders.


It’s frustrating how much trouble people will go to to cheat in a game that’s supposed to be fun.


I have a new motherboard, RAM, and CPU to install and I think I will just take that as a good time to leave Windows behind. My Steam Deck convinced me it’s viable.


I’m pretty sure my corded vacuum has been speaking about me behind my back and turning my wife against me.



They look decent, almost were interesting before I see they come with Meta baked in.


I’d rather be 1 of billions of Google users instead of 1 of thousands on another smaller service. But a prepaid burner phone that doesn’t require any sort of personal information would be the ultimate privacy and still get you SMS capability.



Window sizes can vary widely and if you come from the same IP with the same exact window size (1033x832 for example) then people wanting to track you for ads etc will have a higher degree of confidence that you’re the same person. It’s part of “browser fingerprinting”, which can also include things like the extensions you have installed: https://amiunique.org/


They will still keep it, they will just hide it better.


This sort of thing makes me skeptical. It’s like someone saying “there are a lot of bad guys out there, pay me and I will help you dodge them.” But how do you know they aren’t a bad guy and you’re paying them to scam you?

Ultimately the best way for you to maintain security and privacy is to do it yourself. Second best way is for someone you trust to help you. Least good way is to trust some random website. This one seems to be hosted in Malaysia for what it’s worth.


That site says “Your browser has a unique fingerprint” even though I run Firefox, uBlock, Privacy Badger, and have privacy.resistFingerprinting set to true. My main problem may be plugins, once you have more than a few your set can be pretty unique.



If they don’t care about privacy you don’t have any argument for them to switch. I don’t think you can argue that Signal is better functionally than WhatsApp, it just has better privacy.


Also in the past I’ve observed that the Google indexing bot will visit a site right after a Chrome user visits the site. So if Googlebot knows nothing about abc123.com and then a Chrome user visits it, then suddenly Googlebot is crawling the site. I wonder if that happens when the Chrome user is in incognito mode?
