If you don’t want the NSA to spy on you, don’t use anything with a modem. Otherwise forget about it.

I didn’t even know it asked for an email for sign up. I just remember the recovery email.

I don’t think you are required to provide a secondary email, but you get less features without it.

I doubt somebody running from a government is taking their tips from wired.com

They do store it and have provided it to authorities in the past. In their defense, modern laws require you to hand over any data you have or get shut down. But they already knew that, yet choose to ask for it anyways knowing that they have to give it away if asked to.

I guess the fact that the last release was in April. Some people refuse to compile their apps even though it’s better.

Nah, the NSA takes very good care of its employees. They get free everything.

Never trust 1 person on Youtube. Watch multiple videos from different channels.

For this to work with a desktop PC, you would need to connect your display cable to your iGPU instead of your dGPU. The driver should take care of the rest. This might yield lower performance when using dGPU for processing (probably unnoticeable, depending on circumstances).

Windows 11 is objectively the better system, it just has too much garbage as well.

Sure. Until that happens, it will be the better option.

And in terms of cashflow, they depend on that google money. They’re in trouble without it

That’s irrelevant. The only thing important is what they have to do for that money, which is setting Google as the default search engine. This only “hurts” you if you don’t take 15 seconds to change the default.

How are they doing that? They’re simply making money by putting Google search as the default. Changing it literally takes a few seconds.

Yes. The Google-funded Firefox that won’t take away your ability to block ads. Any other questions?

That’s not what this is about. He’s complaining about hardware developers putting more work on kernel developers by making them patch all the CPU vulnerabilities that are introduced by trying to increase performance.

In an ideal world the headline would be “Google kills Chrome by preventing users from blocking ads”.

From the repo:

A random DNS and HTTPS internet traffic noise generator provides enhanced privacy and security by obfuscating users’ online activities. It generates random, non-user-initiated queries to DNS servers and encrypted HTTPS connections, making it difficult for third parties such as ISPs, surveillance systems, or malicious actors to analyze and track actual browsing patterns. This added layer of traffic noise reduces the effectiveness of traffic analysis and profiling techniques, making it harder to identify specific behaviors, websites, or services accessed by the user.

Technically, even if your data is encrypted, the amount of data you send (and the time between packets) can be analyzed to at the very least figure out what website you’re on, and who knows what else (i.e. Youtube’s HTML, CSS, and JS files will be different than Facebook’s, so the amount of data sent will be different, and you can train an AI to recognize these patterns). This app pretty much it protects you against packet analysis from your ISP or anyone else who could monitor your network. I guess this assumes that you’re using a VPN or some sort of proxy since it’s not very useful otherwise.
