  I cant say for certain, but I do know that it’s likely card number algorithms can be compromised in one way or another. I had a credit and debit compromised one day after another, the credit card having never been used at all. I had them both cancelled and reissued immediately, and after activating the new credit card it was done again the very next day. These were from the same bank, a small credit union based in Eastern Washington.

  Again, it was cancelled, they told me it was an algorithmic attack, and the next card that arrived was activated and had no further issues despite use in person and online until it expired.

  Maybe they were saving face after a breach, but that kind of attack felt far more likely given my lack of usage.

  Nano probe will be a lot more comfortable than the big fuckers the aliens are using today.

  Something to be aware of, some devices will straight ignore your DNS settings in DHCP if they can’t get to their ads. My iPhone 13 did that. I had to block port 53 udp/tcp for everything but the piholes.

  I’m sure eventually we’re going to see DNS over https doing the same and I’m 100% ready to mitm all devices that pull that bullshit…

  Clutch pedal as well, so you have 2x as many switches to go bad and strand you if you don’t know how to bypass.

  If I can play tradewars again, without having to worry about one of my friends calling to knock me off so they can get in, I’m in.

  Don’t think so, I have a 9 year old who turns 10 in February in the 4th grade in the US.
