The coordinated strike had an immediate impact. Millions of people in Dubai and Abu Dhabi woke up on Monday unable to pay for a taxi, order a food delivery or check their bank balance on their mobile apps.
I honestly can’t tell if this paragraph is supposed to be satirical.
I’d take it a step further and say it’s not even a use of a VPN at all. If you want to browse the web anonymously a VPN doesn’t provide that guarantee: it only affects your source IP, which most services probably understand is unreliable for tracking purposes anyway.
Even for changing your IP to aid in being anonymous on the web, TOR is the network layer tool to use, because you will have a much wider range of source IPs than the single one you’ll get from the VPN, but there is still so much work to do to “browse the web anonymously”.
I think a lot of people don’t understand VPNs. They’re great privacy tools if you don’t trust the local network or your ISP, as all traffic is typically encrypted and headed for the same server, but being anonymous on the web is way more involved because you are much more than your IP address.
Btw I’m not replying here thinking you don’t understand all that; just expanding on the conversation
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is actually what happened here… tech companies in general don’t delete data if they can avoid it. I worked for companies that would just set deleted = 1 in the DB on delete calls. Google has more ability than anyone else to put that data to use
Am I misunderstanding something? Wouldn’t that just be 7! = 5040 possibilities?
The commercials I see for Ram trucks make me cringe so hard I want to escape my skin. The fact that that marketing strategy must work is absolutely bananas to me.
