- k12sosse 3y agoYou're trying to reason with a person who can't even complete a captcha.
- jorvi 3y agoIn his defense, the best way to solve a captcha is by pretending you are partially blind. If you actually select all the relevant squares, Google just says “nope lol go again!”.
- OnionBlender 3y agoMy theory is that, if the real goal of the captcha is for AI training then you would want to get rid of the people that were close but not quite right (let them proceed) . If the user was 100% correct on the first test, you'd probably want to give them more tests.
- timhwang21 3y agoThey may be on VPN. Google recaptcha has dynamic risk-based friction and is prone to serving effectively impossible challenges to users on VPN.
- codetrotter 3y agoCaptchas can be an endless hellhole if you are on a network that the captcha provider happens to dislike. No fault of your own. I’ve had situations in the past where I tried 10-20 times to complete captcha and it just kept throwing one after the other at me. Whereas when I am at home and not using VPN I always complete every captcha in like one or two attempts.
- miramba 3y agoIt appears that the containment system has completely failed.
- swasheck 3y agothe captcha on https://archive.ph https://archive.ph is an endless loop of clicking the "I'm not a robot" reCAPTCHA checkbox for me. sometimes i'm lucky enough to get to the "click all boxes that have a bus" and i never know if the one tile that has a fraction of the side mirror counts as being a bus or not. sometimes i guess correctly, and sometimes i find myself in another endless loop of identifying objects. i suspect it's a nanny service on my work machine because if i fire up a windows sandbox instance and archive the site there, i can sometimes get some luck. it's a stiff price to pay for getting around the data science medium articles that require a sign up, and then an app, and then a subscription.
- vlovich123 3y agoThat’s usually because you’re using Cloudflare’s DNS, either explicitly or implicitly via Apple private relay (long saga you can easily search for)
- swasheck 3y agointeresting. i found stuff on WARP and VPN but i’m not using that - just 1.1.1.1 on my router (and you do mention DNS). thanks for the tip.
- squeaky-clean 3y agoSteam has had a widely reported issue with the captcha on the password reset page for over a year now.
- ta1243 3y agoPresumably the same captcha nonsense.
- rPlayer6554 3y agoIs it ok to steal from a liquor store because they require a license shown to buy it and for some reason you can't get yours?
- account42 3y agoCopyright infringement is not theft.
- messe 3y agoI’d download a car, if that’s what you’re asking.
- crooked-v 3y agoThis is more like them requiring a license, but then also refusing to actually check yours.
- squeaky-clean 3y agoIf the liquor store is also the DMV that approves licenses and they've been closed for over a year, yeah. It's also a free giveaway so it's more like grabbing some of the free tasting samples without approval.
- crtasm 3y agoIt's not stealing, please stop repeating this nonsensical comparison.
- akoboldfrying 3y agoJust like if I watch you key in your PIN at an ATM, I'm not stealing your PIN. You can still use your PIN, same as before!
