I talk about this with a co-worker of mine all the time. It is incredibly dumb how people view these things.

Oh, NO! I can't have Microsoft use some of my info to help improve their services, but let me go ahead and post my entire life on facebook for everyone to see and click on all the cat meme pics I find :krs:
yep, everyone wants to front like they're 007, like anyone cares that they're on pornhub all day. if you're really doing some dirt online you should know ways around this shyt anyway

Thinking about copping another monitor. For those who have dual screen set ups, do yal have the same models for both monitors or nah?
I'm like the king of monitors on here (no brag, just the truth. I got 3 1440p Dells, a Dell 34" 1440p ultrawide, and a Dell 24" 1080p touchscreen). When I was rocking 3 1440ps, all were the same (Dell even gave me a quanity discount when I called them up and talked to their sales team). When I first rocked 3 monitors 5 or so years ago, I had 2 of them that were the same and one that was different. I got used to it, but the color difference on the different one were noticeable. My brother was like, ":wtf:, your middle monitor looks completely different than your left and right ones. The colors are completely different." He was right. Ever since, I rock with the same model with multi-monitor setups. Try to get the same monitor if you can. If you can't, sell your old monitor and buy 2 new ones.

If they wanna get you, they can get you though. TOR was started by the Navy, Tails isn't completely anonymous, and Proxies and VPNs only keep out the low-level hackers and ISPs. If they really want to get you, they can. I used to work as a contractor for the gov, and we used TOR and an IP masker to get into extremist sites, but we still got caught. If they want to, they can find you. Nothing is really safe unless you use the "burner phone" method (i.e., buy a laptop with cash, use an open Wifi network, use TOR, VPNs, and Proxies, change your MAC address, do your dirt, and then throw the computer away). I don't know why any legit person would need to use the "burner phone" method, but it's really the only safe way. But if you need to do that, :sitdown: you're probably doing disgusting illegal shyt.

Given my previous job, I know all the workarounds. We monitored legit terrorists. They're smart as shyt. They know how to get around the system, but we still could trace them. The only safe way is a "burner laptop."

Bought 2 of these routers
ASUS RT-AC88U Wireless AC3100 Dual-Band Gigabit Router, AiProtection with Trend Micro for Complete Network Security - Newegg.com
for the last 5 months I've had to reset the second one I was using as a wireless bridge daily to get it to connect. I guess Asus finally updated the firmware and both have stayed connected to each other for the last week with no issues or required resets. It's amazing you can but high end stuff like that and have it not work. These will be the last routers I but for a very long time. Half the reason I bought them is the 8 Ethernet ports on the back. It's also the best way to get 4x4 mimo over a home network. They typically connect at 1950 Mbps.

If you're using Asus look into the Merlin firmwares.

To all these people saying they woke up one morning and they had Windows 10 on their PC don't you see that OS installing? What are they installing it in the background when the PC is on without you noticing?

thanks. I Installed his version, has some extra features but looks like the Asus still.
