Surely IPv6 support will spontaneously materialize on their networks once their pain becomes big enough!

Annoying things such as paying taxes, recycling/not polluting etc.? Some things really can only be solved via central coordination, as there is no natural game-theoretic/purely economic path from one local minimum to another. Bein

Satellite unicast receivers also can't be located. Iridium pagers were (maybe still are?) a thing, for example. However, carrying one of these is probably highly suspicious compared to a world band radio receiver.

There are still quite a few shortwave radio stations broadcasting.

Have you used GPT instant or mini yourself? I think it’s pretty cynical to assume that this is “good enough for most people”, even if they don’t know the difference between that and better models.

I’ve already had a few services lock me out with iCloud Private Relay.

How do you square "complete privacy" with the fact that you're authenticating to these VPNs with a persistent username or other credential and are then sending traffic through them, both from an IP address that might identify

I'm forced to use a VPN to occasionally check my US bank account, since a foreign IP address is obviously a harbinger of unspeakable evil (while the friendly Youtube advertised neighborhood VPN is obviously evidence of pure intentions)

So the stable state here is all humans eventually being locked out? (Bots are getting better every day; I doubt the same is true for all humans, including those with weird browsers or networks unwilling to install some dystopian Cloudflare

Yet here I am drowning in captchas every once in a while, so it's quite a big worry for me. Maybe I just have to disable all ad blockers and Safari tracking prevention? Or I guess I could send a link to a scan of my photo ID in a custo

I could definitely imagine a public IPv4 with lots of good, logged-in Cloudflare traffic to act as a positive signal for their heuristics, possibly even overriding the Firefox penalty.

To be fair, this sometimes seems on the ad blocker. I've definitely seen mine accidentally nuke part of the payment Javascript (or maybe the 3DS iframe?) because some substring of it matched some common ad URL, which is obviously unrec

That's my favorite combination: Shitty bot detection meeting shitty payment security systems. At least outside the US, there's 3DS as an (admittedly often high friction) high quality cardholder verification method, but in the US,

No, but it's entirely within TSA's hands to make that process as frictionless as possible. (It's a different question whether zero friction is actually desired, or whether some security theater is actually part of the service

No, using a stupid authentication/verification method with lots of false positives is always on whoever deploys it. Imagine an apartment building with a flimsy front door lock that breaks all the time, and the landlord only telling you

It's absurd how unusable Cloudflare is making the web when using a browser or IP address they consider "suspicious". I've lately been drowning in captchas for the crime of using Firefox. All in the interest of "bot

Until it gets prompt injected. Are you reading every single file your agent reads as part of the tasks you give it, including content fetched from the web or third-party packages?

It works well so far, for you . Are you confident it would still work against sophisticated prompt injection attacks that override your "strongly worded message"? Strongly worded signs can be great for safety (actual mechanisms p
