So a pretty solid representation of most corp execs then.

Sweet, let everyone on the interwebs do the training of some massive model that’ll then be controlled by a gov entity or some commercial mega corp…

This isn’t new, cell tower triangulation is a fact of the network operation and is part of how your signal gets handed off between towers as you travel. Airplane wouldn’t do anything unless it where to actually disable the sim entirely, and functionally even that doesn’t cut it in the USA given that a device without one can still connect to emergency services via any tower in reach.

This is just the carrier giving a customer the data that would already exist, for a price, which I thought T-Mo actually used to give for free…

There’s one in particular who for some undefined reason has been able to essentially say ‘go off and do this thing’ that my own brain said is stupid and impossible, and then I succeeded at doing the thing.

Probably the first example, when I had finally gotten the idea to do some gym work (which she helped at that too) I commented to the effect of maybe I could look at doing a 5k. So she says let’s go do 14k which of course sounded nuts, so we went and did that. Next thing I know I finished a marathon because why not…

Pleasant as this is, I wonder how they’re going to keep the crybaby-in-chief from demanding they stop again as part of his ‘dei is evil’ crusade.

Phobes being phobic, unusual enough not one that had a big history of egregious comments so this was a bit of a drop the mask moment.

Similar to the markings used on trucks hauling hazardous materials. Might be for the fire dept if the place goes up in flames.

My guess would be an online connectivity check. Most systems try and reach some domain to say if they have network or not. Would be a logical place for them to try.

Interesting, I get a couple feeds that reference them but thought those where all gathered info rather than self published.

TOR is just slightly harder to keep up on as far as being listed on the same tables as commercial VPN hosts because it’s so dynamic. Anyone can spin up a node and be a relay or, for the brave/foolish, an exit node in a few minutes.

Privacy largely comes from a plausible deniability in that the person asking for a site could be the originator or they could just be relaying a request for the originator. Freenet, or now called hypha net is similar that way.

My perspective on internet privacy has long been that while I don’t expect to be a ghost, I can make the picture as muddy as I can to make whatever profile they gather be as useless as possible.

From the infosec practitioner perspective the number of bad actors coming from public VPN pops is exceptionally high compared to any other random IP, so they get put on a naughty list. We often cut out entire countries just because they have such a high ratio of bad 2 good traffic, particularly if it’s a country that we have no real expectation of user traffic originating from.

It’s not so much a VPN bad, but just that you’re hanging out with others that act bad. Kind of the Nazi bar thing but for hackers. If you set up a private VPN somehow on a random cloud host you likely wouldn’t see the same issues, how to keep the ownership anonymous though is another problem.

Ummm Ermmm Ohmmm

There are far too few in positions of power who have the courage to tell Trump to stuff it when needed. This guy is one of those few it seems and now the crybaby turns his tantrum on him.

You can download a torrent of the whole thing, they don’t need to give it to anyone.

Couldn’t see why not, only thing that might say no would be I expect water is less dense than paint so the weight would possibly be different if they where both full.

That’s actually surprising, I would think that Musk & Donnie would have been all over the idea of having front row seat visibility into new CVE. Info like that could be worth a few bucks.

That’s the gimmick, saw them around the 90s skater culture and a bit after as I recall.

Only if you pee in them

Maybe they got bit by it and had to type quick before the venom took hold so they missed some letters?

Probably something that’ll kill you.
