I don't play Roblox, but I'm aware of their history of exploiting children. Based on my preliminary research it appears as if these websites actually just ask you for either your Roblox username/password or ask you for your R

You're delusional if you think the landscape 10 years ago is the same now. Companies are much less likely to simply capitulate to governments now. In fact, the references you make here are why they're less likely to allow these

This is your choice obviously, you get to choose how much data you give to them. You can also choose not to give any data at all if you wish.

If you're on GCP because you want v6 support you're probably in the wrong place :^)

This is also a fair take, but not a very compelling reason why bandwidth costs are vendor lock in...

Ingress is free because it helps them balance their pipes, and it would be really shitty to charge for DDoS attacks. As far as I can tell, with the exception of some really expensive network environments (e.g. China), nobody has ever charge

CloudFlare domains is a bit of an underbaked product, it's not bad but you should be aware that you cannot change your root nameservers . They must be CloudFlare. The only way to change them is to switch registrars.

UU Booster, which is the service I currently use for gaming is operated by NetEase, which is a giant in the Chinese online gaming space. It's fully legal, no issues whatsoever. Also you can get roaming SIM cards or even eSIMs, which co

I was searching mostly under the News section of google although this seems to just be a Tiktok feature "restricted mode" that Tiktok may have accidentally enabled for some users? Regardless the article is pretty misleading...

I'm sorry but this article is BS and it's associated "source" seems to be a SEO stuffing website and smells very much like it was written by AI. Is there any actual evidence that this is happening? This NYPost article an

Don't you think its funny that we pay academics a fraction of how much we pay tech workers and yet we expect so much more from them?

Nobody wants to assume fraud in science, unless you have unassailable evidence that someone has committed fraud you really cannot risk your own reputation by dishing out allegations. The solution to this is trust but verify , but verifying

The internet isn't really decentralized and realistically it cannot be. Submarine cables are owned by companies, T1 ISPs provide the majority of routing and you really cannot prevent any of this. Centralized control is somewhat require

Theoretically you don't need to reveal your identity to prove that you're human. You can use a zero knowledge proof instead, likely attached to something like an EU Digital ID, which would allow you to remain anonymous and also pr

I can't tell whether this is a joke or not. I would bet you that over 99.99 percent of HIBP's users do not pay for the service. Troy's time has value, so working on a service that provides no income is not really something yo

Did you gasp go to the apple store and tell them what happened? Seems like you should do that before complaining on Twitter. Mistakes happen, it's about how they handle them that matters.

So having applied to Google multiple times on different referrals and gotten exactly 0 interviews, I can say that it probably doesn't affect your application to have "connections" nearly as much as you'd think. In any ca

But I'm not a judge and this isn't court. The adversarial system has a time and a place, but in this case it's not like Google ever publishes blog posts on why ProtonMail may or may not be bad, and it would be quite impossibl

Regardless of who wrote this, I find it hard to trust an article written by a direct competitor to the company being scrutinized -- there is a clear conflict of interest here.

You know at that point why not just hack Level3, Cogent, Telia, Zayo or some other T1 provider? Frankly VPNs don't protect you from anything other than the most monitoring systems and the occasional public wifi connection. They're

I'm confused, these are completely different situations. But also, yes? If a random stranger has my credit card info, I feel like I have much bigger problems than people knowing my Amazon purchase history.

I think the issue has been rather overblown. Realistically I think the solution to this problem is to make riders more aware of the existence of this website, so if they feel that they may be tracked by an abusive partner they'll know
