It's weird that I had a tower desktop as a kid when it was niche, and I still have a tower desktop 35 years later when it's niche again.

It would produce something completely different every time.

You either need to be indistinguishable from everyone else, or indistinguishable from your last page load.

Just randomly inserting fake fonts, changing your screen resolution by a few pixels, changing the variant of English between US, Canada, UK and Australia. Rendering text and images with unnoticeable random dither in the subpixel hinting. That sort of stuff.

Click on all the ads and install all the malware. That will teach them.

Microg pairs best with LineageOS. I've done both and I prefer the GrapheneOS sandbox. It actually passes safetynet at the moment.

Just don't expect RCS messages or NFC payments to work on either.

Are you talking about Betamax, ATRAC3, MemoryStick, Video8, Digital8, UMD, MiniDisc or BluRay?

I think the US are just upset because UK didn't want to share.

If all 5-eyes countries collectively bullied Apple into handing over the keys, they'd be all for it.

Between all of them (AUS/CAN/NZ/UK/US) I don't think the UK would get voted out over this. Australia has wanted encryption backdoors for years, and make it a criminal offence to refuse decrypting data at government request.

At least this one had the courtesy to go to the toilet first

I've configured my home wifi to capture all DNS regardless of its intended recipient. It's unencrypted so it's possible.

I also use encrypted DNS on my phone.

There's probably a few things you can do live on a call.

I always wanted to try passing a common function through a minifier then a beautifier. Show them the code with unhelpful variable names, and ask them what name they would give the function.

A good programmer would be able to identify a string compare function or an IP bitmask eval function pretty quickly.

I've seen XML parsers that will convert element content from strings to native types by default. So "0" becomes an int, "true" becomes a boolean, and "null" becomes an actual null. I had to take extra steps to keep everything as a string unless explicitly told not to.

JSON does not have this problem, BTW.

You can permit absolutely everything and make it just as bad as the stock OS if you want to.

Game consoles are solid-state and tend to not wear out like cars.

That said, my car is from 2003.

The single biggest attack vector for SSH is IPv4. Disable it and 99% of issues go away.

HellDivers 2 runs like a dream. It plays because it's not PvP.

The problem with every PvP game is that they refuse to allow players online unless they have kernel-level anticheat. That's a dealbreaker, and nobody will negotiate on it.

I really struggle to process voices, but I hear absolutely everything.

Someone talking to me can get completely drowned out by a 15KHz hum of an electronic device, the acoustics of a room or a TV in the background.

Yet, I ask them if they are having trouble hearing me over all the noise. They usually reply "wharlt noise?" If it's a high-pitch hum, they won't acknowledge the noise even if I show them on a spectral analyser.

I've used this. The only annoyance is that all the on-screen timestamps remain in UTC because JS has no idea what timesone you're in.

I get that TZ provides a piece of the fingerprint puzzle, but damn it feels excessive.

So, manifest v3 was all about preventing Google's competitors from tracking you so that Google could forge ahead.

My local Costco recently removed the coin locks. Almost immediately, trolleys were fucking everywhere except in the bay.

The coin locks never bothered me because I have a pick for them on my keys. And yes, I return the damn trolley every time.

Well... shit. My company just sold my department to another company. The phrase they use in the office is "a Microsoft shop". We're talking Windows, Teams, Azure and O365.

The transition is going to be shit. After the transition is over, it will be shit.

I might just operate my workflow entirely out of WSL2 out of spite.
