did that with a showerhead, $80 on amazon, $30 on aliexpress, and it's actually quite well made (real metal) and seems to be great so far after a year. I'm sure there are a lot of duds though and it's caveat emptor, do at least a little research if you can find anything.
Eh, while billionaires enjoy privilege in the West, oligarchs literally run gangs, murder people on the regular, and support Putin's attempted genocide of Ukraine. I would say that's definitely comparing grapes and oranges.
They have though. They showed they don't care about borders and that if they're successful in Ukraine then they will just keep trying in the next nation over. Tyrants are never happy and always need more to conquer and to control. You can't just let them roll over other countries because they're a "super power" because evidently they aren't since Ukraine with help from the west is at least keeping them at bay.
however for hackers it's pretty interesting to see the code as an example of what apple/google/amazon/facebook are up to when it comes to tracking/sending ads/privacy invasion techniques. We are all quite aware of Russia's attempted genocide of Ukraine.
Kind of funny to see how quickly authoritarianism can destroy something that was profitable and usable. I used to use the image search sometimes when google was failing miserably and it worked pretty well. I'm afraid to visit there now as it's not unlikely they could inject a virus into your system.
You don't need pihole. there are adblockers on iOS. They aren't as flexible as ublock on android but they're 98% there and good enough with the added advantage that google isn't spying on your every move and sending it back to the mothership.
I can't agree. Normalizing scanning of files on people's devices is a very very bad precendent. It turns Apple into a low level government policeman rifling through your device which would spread to your PC and android devices. Normalizing this behavior would be truly awful, CSAM would come first, then tax audits, anything that looks "suspicious", etc. That is a very very bad precedent, police should only be able scan your device if they have a warrant.
I agree RAII at a minimum should be available, but why not just use c++ at that point? I'll just go to something like zig or rust that is established and has thousands of libraries available.
And that's fine! That's the beauty of the freedom of choice. I can take my business elsewhere and the company that banned the mullvad IP can have one less potential (but not really a) hacker to worry about.
95% of the time, sure. You will hit some companies that will ID it as VPN and refuse though. I just don't do business there and send them an email to update their security policy and I'll try again at some future date. I even have a template email that I keep just for that purpose.
