Lol, I think passwords are very trival to get.

I mean, they got the ability to look like you, you gotta assume they can get CCTV footage of you typing your passwords.

Does my doppelganger have the same knowledge I have, or just the same outward physical characteristics?

They don’t have a replica of your brain, if that’s what you are asking.

They just look the exact same as you, along with your voice.

But they might have hacked your phone and started listening in to be able to mimic the way you talk.

Does my doppelganger possess the same physical objects I do, like an identical copy of a cell phone, say?

No, but they could just steal your phone, or better yet, just kidnap you and lock you away then steal your clothes too.

Think like identity theft, they transform their body to match your body, and their voice matches your voice. The only way they can get detected is if they get arrested and the authorities use a machine to verify someone’s true identity.

Don’t forget, this is the information age, they might have surveillance capabilities to monitor the way you talk, and be able to record your authentication methods.

I used EyeBuyDirect.

But their no-name brand frames suck ass and fall apart quickly, you’re gonna need to pay more for the quality frames so they don’t fall apart in like 3 months.

I don’t think online glasses stores are gonna save you much money, its more like a convienience thing, so that you don’t have to wait in a physical store. You’re still sacrificing quality and durability with price. Those cheap frames will fall apart much sooner than the expensive ones.

But, I use them because they have some frames that is ready to ship within 2 days, great for when my glasses break and I needed one like… ASAP.

Stores take like 1 to 2 weeks, I hate that, takes forever.

I don’t think there’s a “best” way, its just what’s convienient to you.

Zenni Optical and EyeBuyDirect are the most common ones I read about on the internet, and the top 2 search results, but since Zenni didn’t have 2 day shipping option, EyeBuyDirect is what I chose to go with.

EyeBuyDirect has like a one time free replacement for defects. You take photos of the broken glasses, send it to them, and pay shipping, and they send you new ones, they didn’t even want back the broken ones (I mean, its not must use to them anyways). (But don’t choose the same frames if you are gonna get a replacement)

I heard teachers use that term. 🤷‍♂️

The secret ingredient, is crime.

(go shoplifting)

Usually, organizations would want to manage all of then from a single interface and keep the devices locked down. Chromebooks usually won’t allow you to tamper with the OS in any way. (not easily, anyways)

I mean, you can’t have kids playing video games on a school-issued laptop in the back of the classroom, right?

Plus, only a large corporation could even provide the device support like repairs and stuff. Unless small companies can manage to provide support for schools around the country (or even the world, depending on how large they want to expand), for the mean time, its seems like Chromebooks have won. 🤷‍♂️

more like a rap sheet

Somebody needs to fix the megathread

The Microsoft edge browser has a read to me mode

Text to speech vs an actual human professional reading it is like night and day.

What’s a streaming platform?

glances at thepiratebay[dot]org 😎

audiobookbay[dot]is right on the megathread/wiki

I refreshed Tor circuit 3 times, same result.

Using ProtonVPN (paid) have the same result.

I’m not gonna attempt it on my real IP for obvious reasons.

I think its fine either way, it’s not like a .mp3 file has a high malware threat. (But I definitely would not run any .exe .apks from an unsecured connection tho.)

I’ll say ProtonVPN (despite the CEO controversy)

If you ever want to watch Youtube videos, Mullvad and IVPN is gonna trigger websites like Youtube, Reddit, sometimes even Google search engine, to block you or make you sign in.

Mullvad and IVPN has too few servers, its much more likely for a server to get blocked.

ProtonVPN has like 11,000 servers, so even if it doesn’t work on the first server, clear browsing data, close browser, and pick another server. Usually you’ll find a working one within like 3 tries. Don’t let it auto pick the closest one, just randomly scroll and click on a server.

Meh, its probably some issue with the carrier assigning IP addresses.

I occasionally get search results in Spanish and it shows my location as in Mexico, even though I’m closer to the Canadian border. And do not speak Spanish, am not Hispanic, and do not have Spanish in my phone settings.

IP address shows it as near where I live. Not sure what the problem is.

I use a VPN with only like Fennec and a few apps selected to go through the Wireguard tunnel, everything else use a separate Wireguard tunnel. Neither’s exit server is in Mexico.

Must be a bug 🤷‍♂️

Lol I saw the https error and I just assumed the site was a dead link.

Why do they not have https? Isn’t Let’s Encrypt free? 🤔

But anyways, I think I found them, its torrenting now.

Thanks!

Yay.

India gets to experience their own version of the “Great Firewall”

Isn’t the future just great? Every country gets their own “intranet” 🙃

/s obviously

I mean… you do know someone can just take a screenshot, right?

And even if you use the Android thing that blocks screenshots, they can still take a photo with another phone.

You need to trust the other person for there to be any “privacy”.

My brother runs away from the microwave whenever my parents turn it on… 🤣🤦‍♂️

Did I mention he’s vaccine skeptical?

I mean, you could just give your self a limit.

Add a “Iteration 1” to the first message, and the 2nd iteration of you should append the message with “Iteration 2” and so on…

If you still get warned of death in Iteration 500, then maybe then you can give up.

At least try to survive for a few timelines.

“Um… 😅”
