With OP's perspective services like Cloudflare, Akamai and anyone else trying to mitigate malicious traffic should just give up. This extremely nihilistic view is not productive, and ignores that 99% success in mitigating bad actors is

The flaws of the 500e are pretty manageable if you accept that it's just an around town car, but this means you probably want it as an addition to your fleet of cars, or want to have the option to borrow or cheaply rent a long distance

vrms (virtual Richard M. Stallman) is what your asking for. Go install it, it has been packaged in most distros for decades. Additionally, crashing into lighthouses with your ship or personal watercraft is considered a bad thing. Lighthouse

Been seeing Rivians constantly in Seattle, less so in Bellevue and outlying areas. Yet to see one in Portland though, but there is a lot less money sloshing around here in the Willamette Valley compared to what gets spent around Lake Washin

There are many Fiat 500e and Nissan Leafs on the road that are cheap and closing in on a decade old. The Fiats generally are above 90% battery health at 80k miles since they only support level 2 charging or slower, so you don't need ba

I have never had reliable 911 service on my Pixel 6, so glad to finally be parting ways with it. It's wild to take a shitphone my carrier gave me for free, and it can reliably dial 911, meanwhile this phone I paid hundreds for that has

Wow, the touchbar MacBooks from 2016 onward are literally disposable. Glad not to participate in that ecosystem! Yeesh, did not realize Apple was this into making ewaste, but that is definitely their fetish.

Helium's LoRa network has a vanishingly small number of paying users despite it's size. Great move for a pump and dump scheme tho, now they are moving onto CBRS LTE with a whole new token separate from HNT.
