I use PIA, cheap and they’ve been involved in at least 2 court cases where their no logging policies were proven.

Average person? Probably not many. But it’s also not some expensive, rare, hard to have thing. I have several raspberry pi’s that could easily serve the purpose by just not connecting a new image to a network.

That is the only thing I can think of when I hear the word succulent.

The best sims game is The Sims Bustin’ Out.

I mean if we’re just naming a price you could say something like 100m+, invest it for profit for X amount of time and either intentionally or unintentionally slip up at some point, pay back the original and be pretty nicely set with no further catch.

Sure it’s clearly not within the spirit of the question, but still.

True, you could probably solve that by breaking the casing off first if you’re insistent on trying it. They don’t look like a normal usb stick on the inside. Also I’d imagine it isn’t really feasible to just go dropping them around but maybe you can get them cheap enough somewhere.

At the expense of having to either hope devs do it or only use extensions that give the source, having to do it for every extension individually, having to redo it every time you want to add or remove a URL, no longer getting automatic updates, and having to redo it every time you want to update.

I get the sentiment but it’s not worth the hassle, especially when it would be trivial to have this as a browser feature that would solve all of those problems.

Ha ha, boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

That is supposedly the case in Australia as well but I haven’t got a letter from telstra since around 2004 and I have never used a VPN and watch all my shows and movies via torrents so either I’m extremely lucky or they stopped bothering.

Though recently I started paying the $4 / month for Real Debrid for better streaming performance, which is just as good as a VPN for torrent anonymity. I used to be fundamentally against the idea of paying anything to pirate but honestly this is worth it, I’ve even been able to watch a few shows that had 0 seeders because they were previously cached.

Sure, but I mean the chances of someone creating a virus specifically to run when plugged into a pi running pi OS or other Linux os with the purpose of attacking the eeprom, delivered by dropping usb sticks in public is so ridiculously small it has to be functionally non existent.
