It wouldn't be ml without a copy-pasta wall of links.

The trick is to bog other users down who actually source and back-reference all those articles so that it will freeze up a comment thread.

OP is weird. He is just vomiting out old propaganda that has been debunked a hundred times over.

Also, someone doesn't know the history of Azov or the even the Vagner group.

From government systems, yes.

This kind of skill might help developers build AI agents that identify buttons or fields on a webpage ~~to handle tasks like making a reservation at a restaurant.~~

... to improve efficiency of click farms and to bypass captchas.

You shouldn't be scared of something that doesn't exist.

(thinks out lound..)

If you could force different speeds and different voltages, you can make some guesses as to what the cable might support.

USB packets use CRC checks, so a bad checksum may indicate a speed or physical problem. (Besides stating the obvious, my point is that doing strict checks for each USB mode gives CRC more value.)

I just looked over the source code for libusb (like I knew what I was looking for, or something) and it seems that some of the driver(?) components hook really deep into the kernel. There might be a way to test specific parts of any type of handshake (for dataflow or voltage negotiation) to isolate specific wires that are bad by the process of elimination.

I think my point is that a top-down approach is likely possible, but it's probabilistic.

Cable testers can bypass all of the standard driver and USB negotiation bullshit before anything else. I would imagine building a device to manually control when and how the connections are made is much easier than fighting for low level device control on systems like Windows, macOS and Android.

Report it. (New account, blog spam, funky domain, poorly configured server, etc.)

That is probably some good theory crafting, but I have no idea as that is a level of psychology that is beyond me. (That sentence looks a little smart-ass, but it absolutely isn't, btw. 100% curious.)

Personally, I can say is that I tend avoid foods that cause pain and may even subconsciously steer away from them too. I don't actively seek out things like tomato sauce, but wouldn't likely turn down a free spaghetti meal either.

I do also tend to prefer cereal and milk, generally heavy fiber types. Antacids are great, but sometimes, just giving my stomach something harder to break down works fine too.

Just stay away from nearly anything that uses "healing ions" in its marketing material. If it's not a straight-up fake product, it'll likely kill you in due time. (Ozone generators are an exception unless you get a beefy one like mine, and then it can actually kill you.)

Edit: lol! I have seen that video and made my comment about ions before I clicked it. Good video, btw. 5 stars.

For anyone else reading, baking soda can save you hundreds of dollars on regular antacids. One you get past the taste and train your body it brings relief, it'll be tasting like champagne soon enough.

LPT: Baking soda and water can burn your mouth and lips after a time as well, so keep it fairly dilute. More is sometimes needed, but not always better.

Second LPT: Get a second small box of baking soda for heartburn use and keep it sealed in a Ziploc or something. It will absorb all kinds of stuff out of the air and end up tasting really bad. (Name-brand baking sodas tend to taste a little less fishy as well, but not by much.)

Sorry, I know more about baking soda now than I care to admit. It's really a super interesting chemical, even in its simplicity.
