Pangeos Terayacht: An $8 Billion Engineering Disaster
Pangeos Terayacht: An $8 Billion Engineering Disaster – 12:41
— Adam Something

@Benjamin-Hall I have this Corsair mouse that randomly loses connection. Well, sort of...the laser is still on but that's it. The cursor vanishes. I have to wait for two notifications, one that says USB recognized the device, whereupon the cursor reappears, and another that says a 3.0 port would be faster, whereupon the cursor actually moves again. So I usually just spin the mouse around until I see the cursor and get back to business.
God I need to learn soldering so I can fix the button in my Microsoft mouse.
-
@Zenith it’s kind of ironic that the only good things Microsoft has ever produced were mice and keyboards.

Maybe you move your mouse too quickly if you need a 3.0 port
-
@TimeBandit Who the fuck knows. All I know is this $50 gaming mouse would be a fucking disaster to play actual games with whether it's Counterstrike or Age of Empires.

@error No, private mode is for masking what the website owner sees. For masking from your ISP you use TLS.
Some people recommend VPNs but to me in this usecase that just feels like moving your data somewhere that's more likely to have nosy people.

Exactly. Its like going "hey FBI, I'm doing shady shit over here". I would be really surprised if FBI/NSA didn't have backdoor and/or wire taps at most of the VPN endpoints.

@error How much cash do you think he carries in that utility belt?
...What? You think he'd pay with a card and risk his identity getting traced?
-
-
@acrow He's probably got his own bank through which he can special-issue a card.
-
@djls45 I don't think that would help, since the card would still have to be issued in someone's name. The way to make a card hard to trace rather is to set up some shell companies with hidden intermediaries abroad to hold the account.

They don't really need them, they have legal rights to everything they want through the anti terrorism laws and the corporations they ask for the information can't say they've been asked for it. At least within US borders.
But they also control enough TOR nodes to track traffic through that network, so if you really want to be anonymous, you need to buy a second hand computer with cash, a second hand phone with cash, and a prepaid card with cash (and if you are not allowed to get one without using credentials, pay some kids to buy it for you I suppose). Then you do not bring any of this to anywhere you "normally" hang out even if it's turned off. Especially the phone. And you do not bring your normal gear with you when you want to use your anonymous gear.And even then, you'll probably be caught if what you're up to is interesting enough for the TLAs.
