I’m very sorry that your life feels so out of control that you need to lash out so quickly with condescension.

Did you want to talk? Or perhaps explain where you think I misunderstand?

And if you “device type” that…. You’ll see a router likely.

Yes.

And they would ask “why is there a router on your network”

Probably just MAC address lookups, but also possibly something weird like “ttl “ stats

It’s a rarity afaik, I’ve only heard of one or two cases, but a concerning report to me personally.

Though I’m Canadian so it’ll be a few years before it filters here (assuming it catches on)

Yeah, they can still tell that you’re Nat behind another router.

But they don’t like it because it gives them less access to your network and more possibility for something to be wrong

Some isp’s have been detecting the second router and giving people shit for it.

But I’m with you on that, I don’t trust the isp’s backdoored router-modem. Hard pass.

Everyone’s up in arms about a literal anonymous counter, but the other option is the current “spy on everything you do”

How is Mozilla getting flak for this outside of a few hardcore nerds that are welcome to use chrome if they so desire…

And I say that as a huge privacy advocate. In the local tin foil hat “privacy matters” nerd and I honestly don’t see the problem.

And quite frankly anyone that’s said it’s a problem has only been able to come up with “it shouldn’t help them count your views “ which is ridiculous, because it’s very anonymous.

Sooo …. Help me out here, what’s the issue?

Truenas or Nextcloud or syncthing.

Yes, but since you deposited a fake check, they’ll freeze all your bank accounts while they audit and investigate you and everything you do.

It’s very unpleasant.

Here, let me pay you $700 for this item that’s worth $500 and you can just send me the extra $200 difference. I have to do it this way because it’s your father’s, brother’s, nephew’s, cousin’s, former roommate’s will and I’m just signing the whole check off to you.

Meanwhile the original check is fake and now you’ve lost the original item AND $200 and the bank is investigating you, and not them.

Nope, the ai will continue to get better, and soon spotting the fakes will be nearly impossible.

With physical access to the device and encryption chips, you basically can’t defend against those kinds of resources.

This took me a minute to figure out 😝

They’re fed propaganda to believe that privacy doesn’t matter….

But just imagine a Google admin had access to all the information about you and wanted to blackmail you into doing something…. The sheer power of that is terrifying.

Could be another “ai is just cheap labor from India” scam.

But more importantly, at what cost here? I mean how much processing power and engineering time is required and at what cost….to try and detect bike thefts?

Wouldn’t it be cheaper just to buy them a new bike?

No, He’s just trying to excuse his own emotional reaction.

Nice edit, this wasn’t the original message lol.

You were unnecessarily rude and you know it.

Yeah, being called out and unnecessarily put to task is unpleasant, isn’t it?

The irony is spectacular.

Have a nice day.

I ignored OP’s statements, not yours.

You’ll find I replied to you and not them, but I appreciate your condescension in the midst of being wrong.

Ranting about problem you had and being dramatic about it? No problem, I get it. I’m here to be supportive of your struggles. I’ll absolutely defend someone that is being dramatic over their own mistakes, we’re all our own biggest critics. Beyond that, I’ll ignore it and let them get through their own emotions.

Feeling the need to judge someone over it? Yeah, YTA here and you’ll find that coworkers don’t like you for it. It’s unpleasant, and unnecessary.

Do you enjoy it when people point out your faults and say “maybe the tech world isn’t for you?”

…… but you’re not going to see it that way at all. You’ll create some meaningless “but it’s different” argument because you feel the need to defend your actions rather than reflect on them.

Have a nice day, I’m done.
