I would find an avocado alert more useful but sub-second accuracy for short time before they are over ripe might prove difficult to implement.
I thought the same thing. I love avacodos, but I've given up purchasing them because I'm so bad at finding the millisecond they are ready to eat before they turn to mush.

If you're studying security and you think TOR will work to get you past corporate firewalls... good luck out there. Keep studying.
Tor with a bridge on port 443 (or even 80) will get past anything that only blocks non-standard ports.

I've started buying them when they're very hard (Costco sells them by the bag) and then waiting for them to ripen at home. This keeps them from getting bruised by other shoppers. So far, I've had good luck with them being ripe and good for about 3 days.

Yeah I don't get these corporate firewalls, as a cyber security student I've yet to see a single occasion where blocking a port has helped block an attack rather than annoy powerusers (or normal users also, occasionally). So that's why I use https://torproject.org/download the whole day and never have any trouble with blocked sites (e.g. Pastebin; Slideshare) or blocked ports (e.g. :8080 was used today by some random…

The whole point of the Tor network is that anyone can access the Internet through it uncensored, regardless of countries' or corporate firewalls.
