Actually scan. I sometimes get beer via door dash, and they quickly verify your age by scanning the barcode on your ID. It pops up green so fast that at least some of the verification must be local to the phone, but I'm sure some data

This seems great until you dig into some of the recommendations. A tool to save webpages is not an alternative to a news reader. A dynamic DNS service is a not an alternative to Google public DNS, etc, etc I can't see the this making a

Yeah, ever try to use Google through Tor? If you're lucky, it will let you do a captcha and get your result, but mostly it just says the IP is temporarily blocked for abuse.

Personally, when I was trying to wrap my head around CIDRs for the first time, thinking about IPs at one 32 bit number (a la hex formatting) was super helpful, and makes it less annoying to leave behind the nice /8 /16 /24 ch

Are torrents even the primary methods of piracy now? That's an actual question: I get the impression that a lot of piracy has switched to grey market file hosting and streaming sites, but I don't have the perspective to say if tha

Besides 25 year limitation, the regulations are a main pain here as it can be difficult to comply with the letter of multiple overlapping regulations, and have the certifications for those. I know headlights end up being a pain for people t

Try this one [1] which contains an obligation for operators to comply and maintain secrecy. I'm not a lawyer, and definitely not a swedish lawyer, but my point is, despite baked in protections, like most countries, Sweden seems to have
