The TV wouldn't need to crack a password if it's an XFinity wifi router next door, for example. Those are typically open to all Comcast customers by default, if I remember correctly.

DDG is basically a reskin of Bing search. DDG claims to aggregate Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex, but Yahoo switched to Bing a decade ago, and Yandex is only really relevant for Russian-localized websites.

I have taken gabapentin (which is similar) but for visual snow. While I'm not diagnosed as bipolar, I have noticed that gabapentin does level out your emotions some. I've considered trying lamotrigine but have been scared of the

Why single out and question veganism specifically? Wouldn't vegetarians, religious folks, and alpha-gal syndrome sufferers also want a zero animal-product burger? The market is pretty diverse for this demand.

Cancer diagnostics do not rely on a single test. There's a number of (more expensive) metabolic and endocrinology panels, imaging, biopsies, etc. that follow to validate. The idea is that you have something cheap and easy up front bef

Nobody here is claiming that Monero alone is traceable. No one. The proposed solution was to convert/tumble Monero with BTC. My reply is that the majority of the trusted exchanges where you do said conversions require multiple form

If the exchange has your information, that means you're identified when you convert monero to BTC and vice versa. You're traceable from the market regardless because the BTC leads back to the exchange wallet that required multipl

The vast majority of trusted exchanges won't even let you get an account without multiple forms of identification, meaning you're still traceable if you don't use some shady unknown exchange/tumbler (which could also be

Most people buy drugs online with delivery in-country, to get around borders and customs. You're still right though - most often the marshals will just confiscate the box and leave you a note about how you can claim it if you really wa

I agree 110%, but there are still issues: - VPNs are not perfect. IIRC Wall Street Market was busted in part using an exploit on the admin's VPN. - You need to use your real name and ID when renting a PO Box, and most dealers require

The point here is that in Local vs. Darkweb, you still have means of having a way to identify the dealer when you buy face to face, or know them through a friend of a friend. Darkweb you have no idea.

Theoretically, sure, but in practice it's not safer: - Law Enforcement has been getting better at tracing and taking down markets, meaning the reputation systems keep getting reset and the authentic dealers are being arrested. Markets

The problem here isn't Facebook (even though it certainly has problems), it's that your preferences do not align with the majority of FB's existing users' preferences for social networks. That's my point - the user
