I don’t see how this could be easily enforced if every website uses encryption. Once it’s encrypted it’s pretty much impossible for anyone to identify what’s what.

Or if it’s not something that’s valuable to you just do it the easy way.

What’s that web interface thing? Is it home made? I keep thinking about doing something like that to save me having to remember port numbers for the different services on my home server.

Actually blocking VPNs is pretty tough. Almost all internet traffic is encrypted now and any of that can be a tunnel.

They could probably never actually do this. It seems that a trained model is some big mysterious thing that nobody really understands. They take some maths that’s so complicated barely anyone can understand it, feed it all the data they can possibly lay their hands on, then pump insane amounts of computational power through it. It’s the modern day equivalent of Frankenstein’s monster.

The flooding a network thing really isn’t an issue, they’ll only flood for the first packet just to find the way and then it stops. Fire up Wireshark on a different machine and transfer a file between two other machines, you won’t see anything. I don’t know too much about WiFi but it probably does the same, it’s just a bridge to the same network.

Wired is probably better because machines can estimate your location from the SSID and they can leak the password giving access to the network.

Switches will flood a network when they don’t know the location of a MAC address but this should only happen for the very first packet which is more likely to be DHCP or some boring background thing like that. As soon as the correct devices get the packet and replies then each switch along the way will update its MAC address table and they’ll know exactly which port to use until it expires (which depends on the switch, I don’t have a ballpark idea).

I do this, it’s been one with other providers but I don’t use Netflix.

Plus it’s a backup location for stuff I simply can’t lose, like the photos of my daughter being born and my wedding. I don’t want to trust them to some company that might suddenly go into administration without any notice.

I am just because it’s so cheap. On the family plan I get 5TB of storage for £10.49. Proton costs more than that for 500GB.

This is just some glitch. They’ve not said anything about watching stuff locally becoming a pay thing.

I spent a few years living in a developing country in Africa so I have some appreciation of what you’re going through. I used to find lots of technology shops on Google Maps, etc, then when I got there they just sold phone covers and SIM cards and knock-off iPhones.

I can’t really offer much advice but have you considered just making something based on a second hand laptop? A lot of them are still pretty powerful just with old batteries and they’re designed to run efficiently.

I always thought it’s kind of odd how frivolous we are with IPv6 addresses given the problems that gave us with IPv4. US DoD has like 200 million IPv4 addresses and they probably only use a tiny fraction of that. There’s also a bunch of old companies like HP, IBM, and Apple, that have entire /8s, so that’s 16 million IPs each. I know IPv6 is ridiculously bigger but we’re talking about giving IP addresses to our lightbulbs now at a time we’re also looking to inhabit other planets.

I find that the docs usually consist of a quick start guide covering some ultra tight scenario that doesn’t apply to most people, and reference material that’s just some total brain dump of every possible command without any kind of context.

Maybe let them know how many people skipped their question?

I’m not going to use this myself but I don’t know why everyone’s complaining about it so much. It requires opt-in, it does all the processing locally, and if someone nefarious gets to the point they can read this stuff then they’ll already be able to record your screen, log keystrokes, etc. I expect it won’t be straightforward to view the data as well, it’s not just gonna be a folder full of jpegs.

I’m glad that people are actually trying to make interesting features still. OSs have been so boring years now, it’s good to see people actually trying to introduce standout features even if they are controversial. More of this I say.

I searched it and found there were some cases of people being asked to login when they used the clock app but it appears to have been a bug.

I can sort of see why it’s not been a priority for them. Outside of the US nobody uses SMS or the built in text apps. I just went through my phone and I haven’t had a text message that wasn’t business related since July.

Honestly, it sounds like she’s overdoing it on the production quality of her videos if it’s costing her $3500 per 20 minute video. It’s just YouTube.

She also says her best video got like 350,000 views, I’ve seen crappy reaction videos that get more than that. And Google takes 2/3 of the ad revenue for everything she makes.

If you have a Samsung I understand all their own brand stuff is pretty secure.
