This is an age where even teacups demand internet connectivity to fetch firmware updates
And then what happens if someone accidentally pushes the saucer firmware to the cup update? https://hackaday.com/2022/03/18/welcome-to-the-future-where-...

Half priced stamps work though, and nobody is going to prosecute grandma for counterfeiting postage stamps.
Yes they do. USPIS does not f around

You really don't want fraudulent clicks ("invalid traffic", per industry lingo) coming from your home network, because any publishers (apps and websites, per normal-people lingo) who use tools designed to block invalid traffic might start flagging legitimate traffic from your network.
Can confirm. I used to use Ad Nauseam (Firefox extension that clicks all ads), eventually stopped when I was getting captcha'd left and right. Also, visitors on my wifi started getting strange ads. Yes I threw off the algo, but I'm a guy with wife, I'd rather get car ads than like divorce lawyers + gay dating sites.

It is perfectly legal to sell Chinese tomatoes in Australia (which is not necessarily a good thing, re: forced labour in Italy and China). The fraud is mislabeling them as Australian or similar, denying consumers from making their own ethical choice. Which is your harm to the end user and generally enforced by the ACCC.
If you're going to start talking about mislabelling products, you're going doing a rabbit hole of hundreds if not thousands of products sold in reputable stores. Look up how FDA labels for Organic, Grass fed, Pasture raised, etc. are used through out the industry in the US and the world. You should also look up the requirements for "Made in X" labels for consumer products. Playing with word and people's emotions on w…

The information this is based on is reporting from the Australian ABC TV program Four Corners. The ABC is a know, as in they don't even try to pretend propriety, propaganda outlet of the Australia Albanese federal Government. I'm not saying this is definitely propaganda, but there's a non-zero chance it is . The Albanese government has been very open about attacking industry.

Which one is about someone who had more expensive health insurance because they ran a residential proxy?
The one titled: Health Insurers Are Vacuuming Up Details About You — And It Could Raise Your Rates The article says that health insurance companies are buying data from data brokers and using algorithms to set prices according to what you do online and what your "personal interests are". It makes no difference if you run a residential proxy or not, using your browsing history (or your streaming stick's browsing histo…
You know this argument works for everything, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proving_too_much
Do you buy processed food from the grocery store? You know that makes your insurance go up, right?

your product looks cool, but why do I need to contact sales to buy that device? can't you just open like a shopify shop and redirect end customers to that? Also showing the retail price on the page would be a plus one
Thank you for your kind words. I am pasting one of the comments I made on this thread regarding challenges with online sales at the moment: > Trust me, I really wish it were that easy. We're based out of Spain, so to sell in the US (or other countries) we either need to figure out assembly of the device there, or we need to solve cross-border payments, logistics, customs clearance, tax remittance to individual states…

I guess it would be easier to start selling in EU and then expand. I'm looking for an alternative for my apple tv since I mostly use it for airplay looking forward to buying solijacast once it's available in Germany

...ish. Attacking their monopoly, great. Attacking their workers by bombing an office, not so great. Throwing ever more spam traffic across the tubes isn't a attack, it's marketing on their behalf.
In what way is clicking an ad like bombing an office?
> attacking internet gatekeepers
I think we agree that you don't mean all kinds of attack. The agreed exception is bombs.
I put it to you that throwing bot traffic around is another kind of attack that you do not want, because it drives product sales. You would be doing them a favour.
