Aren’t all search queries available to whoever hosts an instance? In my eyes this is much worse to privacy and a much bigger risk unless you really know who is behind your chosen instance. I would trust some a company a bit more with safeguarding this information so it does not leak to some random guy.

Besides the MAC lookup suggestion, have you tried to simply find hostname in local DNS by reverse IP lookup, maybe that would shed some light.

Not sure if there is anything useful, but in browser just check site source, maybe there is something useful there that could help with identification. Does site have certificate? It might include info that would help with identification. Do the standard browser network trace via dev tools F12, maybe something useful appears there.

In nmap you can attempt to guess OS, try that. Additionally it might be possible to get hostname as well.

And have you checked your router to see if this connection is connected to your Wi-Fi AP or Ethernet to narrow things down? If it is not possible to determine this from router, simply connect your main PC to Ethernet, disable AP in router settings and check if IIS site is still up. If it is not, enable AP again, does it come back early or it takes some time?

Lastly, if it still is a mystery, start powering off devices one by one to find the source. Based on comments it seems you have multiple devices, but I assume it would not take that long?

Common thing, a lot of people despise MFA. I somewhat recently talked with 1 person who works in IT (programmer) that has not set up MFA for their personal mail account.

Maybe not false advertising, guess it’s true that only commercial products could be called that. Misleading then, bad marketing (probably also only for commercial things so not really), I don’t know how to call it.

Just a weird choice, that’s all. Same if you would add Metallica album if you showcase some hobby project meant to host royality free music :)

What entitlement? I am just saying it’s weird that you would add games with DRM in mockup for a project that’s about DRM-free games. Gay porn or any porn for that matter would also not fit in DRM-free game category.

I would call it more like false advertising. Showing a screen that in theory is not possible unless you pirate or just make mockups.

Not a cinema guy, but assuming those movies are encrypted with modern standards, it is practically impossible if you simply would steal the media. Could be done if you could tap into the original playback device where movie plays and pull decrypted copy out of it.

Edit: As per this AES 128 is used so good luck if you ever stumble upon an encrypted copy.

Not familiar with cinema projectors, but as I have gatherered from this forum problem is caused by KDM (used to decrypt movie) provider / reseller called Deluxe. Neither Sony or this cinema chain is at fault and problem indeed seems worldwide.

I do know that if our servers lose power and the CMOS battery goes dead, they will internally destroy themselves and never function again. This is to prevent piracy I assume.

Find it very hard to believe to be honest. Could this be simply some rumour from colleagues? Doubt any vendor would implement anything like this, drives could be simply encrypted to protect data if they ever get stolen.

Can’t comment on FLAC quality / availability to be honest because I download only 320 kbps MP3. I just know there is a quality setting for it.

Slightly weird choice to post that in official project site when FAQ mentions piracy is not endorsed :)

Do not understand the downvotes and comments saying article is bullshit. Maybe it all depends on country / ISP, but I have never even thought I need VPN where I live. And since practically all sites indeed use HTTPS all they could get are IPs and possibly hostnames (I do not use ISP DNS).

Have always disliked VPN ads especially when they talk about security benefits. Regular Joe who has no idea about any of this hears those ads and indeed thinks without this magical technology you are now at serious risk your bank details could get stolen by anyone. Not to mention the claims of speed worded in such way that it seems you will get faster network.

Only meaningful reason I can think of privacy wise are these scenarios:

A)

1. You have a static IP and it gets leaked with other info like your real name / personal mail address from site A
2. Only your IP is leaked for site B
3. By cross referencing site A and B info, you can determine identity for site B user

B)

1. You have a static IP and it gets leaked with other info like your real name / personal mail address from site A
2. You visit site B and whoever has logs of that site could tie your actions to your identity by using leaks from site A breach

If that is real, this is baffling, why was it done in the first place? Was there some new company that could manufacture a significant amount of SSDs who started selling at loss so everyone else had to follow to not lose all marketshare? Also it’s not like SSDs are some eggs that expire, there is no need to dump all inventory. Pretty hard to believe.

Agree, assumption that this movie should be found based on OP’s provided description is a bit ridiculous, it all depends on keywords and how unique they are and popularity on medium. Read the summary of this book and found the book later with query “magician monster dimension book movie adaptation”. Keyword magician most likely helped here.

Tried to find Equilibrium with “movie with guns karate” and it was mentioned in first page as well.

Kind of surprised although at least now looks like only 1st one is available

While Soulseek is a great option, would recommend Deemix as the primary download method unless Deezer hosted album is some very bad remaster and you need to hunt down older release. You either need a premium account or find something called “ARL cookie” to download above 128 kbps MP3.

Assassin’s Creed is free of DRM?

This feature is a thing if your account:

• On Dropbox Professional, Essentials, Business, Business Plus, and some customers on Dropbox Standard and Advanced.
• In countries with the preferred language set to English. Excluding Canada, the UK (United Kingdom), and countries within the EEA (European Economic Area).

Would recommend going through that article in general, this is yet another great example how people start to go nuts without understanding something.

Falling short of growth targets doesn’t mean they made a negative. Hitting 4% growth instead of 5% is still pretty good for example.

If you like this comment I made, feel free to tip me with PayPal.

I love our open office. Probably mostly because it is in a warehouse type of a building so everything is spacious with high ceiling.

I am going for 99.9%
