For the last seven months, Google has pushed every non-login search from my house network through a captcha; the image captcha is typically five to infinite repetitions. Audio captcha works after a single run-through, except that it is freq

528.
by dsr_ 2y ago

Record your SO's snoring, sight and sound, for a few minutes, and then show it to them. It's hard to understand how bad it is when you're the one doing the snoring. It's easy once you have proof.
