This method seems much easier than trying to cheese it by scanning Norman Reedus’s 3d model’s face a bunch of times

I don’t really get the appeal of this cube, it isn’t even tungsten

You’re laughing. His dillbert-shaped house is just sitting there, empty, and you’re laughing.

I agree entirely with hello_hello.

Air is good for torrents but I think the eddie client sucks and it has no split tunneling which is also annoying (though not a problem if you are confident setting up openvpn). If you buy two years during a sale it is super cheap. I had continuity issues with the client on android that I did not with Mullvad or Proton.

Mullvad is great on pc and android, but no port forwarding could potentially impact your torrenting activity. The gift card system to add time to your account is fantastic.

I switched over to Proton and have been using their whole suite lately. I like their stuff so far but I’m honestly not sure if they are registered in a SSEUR jurisdiction or not

You can still download the old gui version for free. I use it to run a second simultaneous instance of AmScope software on a device at work. (Two microscope feeds on same screen for x y viewing)

I’m not totally clear on how sandboxie plus comes into play as one or both versions are open source

Not an expert, but I’ve been looking into this and it seems like grapheneOS is the way to go if you really want control and security on a modern phone with timely updates (you would have to switch devices). The timely-ness of updates/patches on other platforms is a big criticism that I saw brought up a lot in disussions online. Not sure how much of a problem that truly is, if at all, but it is something to look into before committing to a big change.

Also one thing to look into before doing anything drastic would be taking advantage of shizuku with something like Canta. As I understand it, shizuku is like an inter-app request mediator that is able to abuse wireless debugging access to grant root-like permissions to linked applications without requiring root access or an unlocked bootloader. This should allow you to do some serious debloating.

From what I have read, living without google play services is possible to an extent (using FOSS alternative), but can be difficult / not 100% due to how google has positioned the bundled play services specifically as an authority in modern android

Personally I think the big push to put AI products inside of everything is just to establish a channel to harvest user data from every facet rather than provide any stated functions to the user. The artwork theft feels like just the very tip of the abusive iceberg as it were

Ive heard that there are some very good authenticator applications on f-droid or izzyondroid, but yeah it’s hard for me to conjure the energy to do anything to switch until something really inconvenient happens

His examples of debanking are pretty chud coded (Nigel Farage, Trucker Convoy, ‘China Social Credit Score’), but this is certainly a very depressing situation with the TPM being linked to a chain of services which are required by potentially vital third party applications.

Now I need to find an alternative for full drive encryption and I guess I will never be able to us the little fingerprint dongle I just bought ever to generate passkeys or with Bitwarden.

Depending on the level of knowledge required to avoid using TPM, I honestly just might not be able to avoid it.

And that windows recall thing is absolutely unhinged. First time I heard someone mention it I thought they they were just making shit up

There is a new web fingerprinting technique that uses your GPU’s individual idiosyncratic performance characteristics to enable/boost efficacy of web fingerprinting: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/researchers-use-gpu-fingerprinting-to-track-users-online/

A team of researchers from French, Israeli, and Australian universities has explored the possibility of using people’s GPUs to create unique fingerprints and use them for persistent web tracking. The results of their large-scale experiment involving 2,550 devices with 1,605 distinct CPU configurations show that their technique, named ‘DrawnApart,’ can boost the median tracking duration to 67% compared to current state-of-the-art methods.

I wonder if I’m not the only one: Nearly every time I fire up Teams at home for the weekly progress meeting, it tries to trick me into selecting an option letting ‘my organization’ have administrative control over my entire PC

I remember getting this on the PS2 right after it was released and it absolutely blew our minds how big and detailed the levels were… And we loved that you could play as a guy in a Slim Jim suit

I never got to try tribes, and I feel like this was a huge mistake. I remember seeing the box at bestbuy or compusa and it looked sick

Alexa, cut power to smart bed.
