sooooo reading a browsers user-agent is now a thing to worry about? oh look I changed my user-agent and now this dumb ass site is giving all the wrong info woulda look at that.

"We know where you are based on your IP" yeah bro, that's how IP's work. look i turned on mullvad, omg now it says i'm in Sweden!

"we know you're using an AMD gpu" gasp ya don't say. oh look I changed my user-agent again and now you think I'm on nvidia, crazy how that works huh?

This is a dumb bullshit site.

oh look it's built by these morons: https://riseuplabs.app/ a company that vibe codes every "product" they have. so naturally building a stupid site that just pulls your user-agent would seem amazing to them.

This is bullshit marketing for their bullshit vibe coding. report this post, it's an ad.

It didn't even get the IP location thing right for me even without a VPN. It wasn't even close. 🤣
