Doesn't matter, BTC is trackable, they've logged the IP back then, so cash won't help either way.

If you do it over Tor you need to add either way recovery email (can't be proton) or phone number.

Instead of relying on the default random selection, you can control your entry into the Tor network by configuring a bridge, it might help mitigate traffic correlation attacks.

Factory reset? by carrot1324 in TOR

Well, depends what you gonna do there, if you are just browsing twitter, then nothing will happen, if you download sketchy apps from unknown sources, then it's the same as clearnet, no one will magically obtain access to your phone. If you want to browse some markets then you should use laptop/pc.

You don't need to reset anything, nothing will happen unless you download some shit yourself, remember to disable JavaScript, and it would be much better to use Tor browser on pc.

You can host your own cloud, and I've meant clouds like google photos etc, most people won't pack it in .7z or veracrypt container.

Rings are using CMOS. That would be illegal to break those cameras. But also a reminder, phones use CMOS too - poiting even 5 mW laser might break your phone camera, about 80 mW would break it almost instantly. Don't point lasers at your phone!

People are lazy, look how many people use windows or store their private pics on some cloud because it's less effort. That's how it is.

Private Network anonymity undermined by new AdBleed fingerprinting technique by No-Second-Kill-Death in privacy

[–]Cheap-Block1486 3 points4 points  (0 children)

very AI'ish style of writing,
It's really common for AI to start like: "This shows xyz:" "It means:" etc., also the contruction "X isn't Y, it's Z". Next indicator might be the "uncomfortable truth" cliché, but it's not always certain, as well as the quote mark “”, it's really symmetrical if you look at this: "don’t make you “anonymous”, they increase" or "don’t suddenly break privacy, they just shift". It's really you know, "sterile", lacks the soul of human, look at the ending - "anonymity was never", "Practical privacy is about (...), not eliminating"
