It's easy to continue the line of thought to absurdity, so I leave that as an exercise to the reader. There's a few lines here that need to be drawn somewhere. Nintendo sells access to a platform to developers. It's not unrea

It's not fair characterize a whole community by the actions of individuals; it's just throwing around more mud. Aside from the root comment, there is no evidence here to support the broad strokes you're making.

I think some of the sibling comments do a decent job of address the how, so I'll loop back to why. Material science research can be expensive due to: material costs, specialized equipment, specialized knowledge, dealing with hazardous

Not to mention that css is Turing Complete. ... and then you have Javascript at the edge (e.g. Cloud flare workers, etc). The act of circumventing tracking can ironically make you more identifiable. How many users toggle Do Not Track, how m

Pihole's default lists and using opendns upstream is pretty solid. In my experience their databases are thorough.

My main concernsvwith these types of posts are management and defaults. If management isn't automous, then you'll get fragmentation which becomes a fingerprinting mechanism. If the defaults are too harsh, then you deter adoption a

This ^ If it's free it's probably making money from ads, or making money from your information. Or you paid for it and it's doing the above anyways. AV style apps can ask for a lot of permissions without raising as much as an

That's a fair point. My reply was more in the context of the root comment - and with an average attacker in mind - where they were describing eavesdropping as opposed an attack carried out by a sophisticated actor. My point was that MI

It's *not the address that matters, it's linking him to a specific LLC. If he bought his car under the same LLC that bought the house where he lives, then you can find him through the LLC. If he used one LLC for car, another for t

His real identity is tied to the DMV, which ties him to the car, which is tied to the LLC; does this not deanonymize the LLC? From the LLC you get the rest of his large assets, namely his second house.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but the DMV links him to his LLC which is linked to everything else. A quick records search on myself pulled up the requisite registration information, so I'm left to question how anonymous he actual

Because https mitigates their attack vectors as a mitm. They can't steal the password since it's not sent in plaintext, and for similar reasons can't deliver/inject malicious Javascript. They could collect timestamps tho

You don't need to train floor employees to spot counter fits, they just need to fix ratings to enable customers to make an informed choice. Counterfeit items work because counterfeit ratings keep them promoted in search results. Ebay w
