admits isnt the right word, they are exaggerating their capabilities for the sake of marketing themselves to other marketing people who have no idea how device permissions or internet packets work.

"We always knew it"... No you just didnt know about your own confirmation basis, you didnt notice all those times when you hadn't talked about whatever you never shop for and it was shown in ads anyway.

If a marketing company had the ability to spy on behalf of advertising whats stopping some random app or the local police dept from doing it? And you can bet if this was at all possible the cops would be all over it to monitor "criminals"

Unless you need online multiplayer it doesn't make much difference. I have my switch block Nintendo by DNS so its effectively me banning them instead of the other way around but if they did ban me I probably wouldn't notice.

I haven't needed to root a device in a while but its fairly straight forward.

The first step is to unlock your bootloader, do this by enabling developer menu (click on rom version in system settings 6 times fast) and then select to disable the booloader lock. if you cant do that then you probably cant root the device.

if you can get that far, the next step is to find a recovery for your device, youll want to boot it using fastboot and load the recovery image, that will allow you to flash SuperSU.

If you need more specific instructions Id need more info on where you get stuck (I'm just going of memory with this reply) but I know windows has some drivers that you need to install for adb to work and there might be other nuances I'm not remembering off hand

I'd also advise when searching for stuff like this, its better to avoid saying the device name unless you are limiting results to XDA or other well known android development sites.

Seeing someone that dark in a maga hat almost looks like blackface

the corps that run the services outsource the job of sending out notices, the companies they pay to do it will flag anything and everything that even hints at piracy. they just have to justify their paycheck.

im just speculating but it would make sense to me if a lot of these piracy troll agencies get paid based on how many notices get complied with and a lot of places are just going to comply without any pushback, even if there is pushback for false flags its not like there are legal consequences for wrong ones so they just flag everything they find and see what sticks.

Its not a violation, they're just abusing the DMCA because they know people won't/can't afford to fight them.

Does getting an invite mean you can use it without paying? I stopped with Usenet like 15 years ago when my ISP stopped offering it for free. Not really interested in paying another subscription just to pirate stuff but if I can get an invite for free I'd love to check it again and see what all the fuss is about.

Gotta love when the article saying adblock-blocking doesn't work is itself preceded by a notice to disable your adblocker

I downloaded that 200gb leak from national public data the other day, maybe not the biggest total but certainly the largest single text file ive ever messed with

How about Konqeror which uses KHTML the engine both Chrome and Apple's webkit are forked from which has only been getting maintenance updates for a while now, it renders youtube fine, I dont have netflix but i tried Pluto.tv and that also works fine, another browser that works is SeaMonkey, the predecessor to firefox (sort of), if these projects which have both been just maintained for the past decade can keep up with rendering the basics then I see no reason why doing it with a more updated version of Chromium would be any more difficult, but i suppose if it is falling back to KHTML should still work for 99% of websites.
