Resproxies are not inherently illegal. Some are used for evading censorship by routing internet traffic through ordinary looking residential homes. AI companies, for example, increasingly rely on resproxies to scrape data from multiple places on the internet in one go to train their AI models.

I “love” how that paragraph tries to paint AI companies use of hijacked residential TV’s to avoid being detected as they scrape the web for training data to steal as some kind of legitimate use of hijacked TV’s.

Pro tip to Zack Whittaker, the Techcrucnh author: There is NO legitimate use of someone else’s Internet connection without their knowledge and approval. Full stop.

Trying to fight them when you’re re-entering the border I guarantee you will lose. If you want to fight them, you do it in court.

There’s an implied “instead” in there. You’re saying don’t fight them at the border, because you will lose. INSTEAD, fight them in court.

To fight them in court, you have to have standing. You get standing by fighting them at the border and losing.

Yep, that’ll slow them down as they make you use the other fingers until one works.

Year 1: “incredibly productive”

Year 5: “not about the work”

I love how they freely admit that it has nothing to do with being good at your job and everything to do with schmoozing.

Like that’s really the purpose of the company… manufacturing schmooze, so we need good schmoozers

LOL, this is hilarious, while simultaneously infuriating that the owners of hardware are required to install a Trojan Horse to uninstall the malicious software installed by the manufacturer.

This looks like a shelf in a thrift store.

It was a very subtle continuation of the lyrics.

That’s a great extra layer of protection, but people shouldn’t rely on it and get/stay in the habit of always removing the tracking code themselves.

What?
