Depends on ISP.

If IPv4 ban, it is indeed 100% ineffective. Nearly all ISPs either CGNAT or rotate addresses. If IPv6, the ISP just forwards a 64 bit block and leaves it at that. You must call and request a new IP block. In which case you'll be told yes or no. If yes, it's either free or paid.

I know with ATT Fiber, they don't offer address changes unless there is some security or service interruption reason. You have to unplug the modem for 30+ days so the lease expires if you don't want to do rounds with support. My IPv4 address has changed once, but my IPv6 address block has never changed.

Someone made a mistake here. It's not getting your IP address. An IP address is assigned by the gateway when you're connected to an access point. An IP address is not an identity. They are always changing and can be shared. This has already been tested and upheld in court.

It's actually collecting your MAC address. Which is exchanged when your phone or tablet scan nearby WiFi points or Bluetooth devices. However, this can already be defeated. By default iOS and Android both have the option to randomise the MAC address in intervals. Making it extremely difficult to prove anything. This feature exists because the devices real MAC address never changes. It is unique. Alternatively, users can disable WiFi and Bluetooth scanning entirely. However, your device no longer participates in the Find My Devices program by Apple and Google, location does take longer to acquire in some scenarios, and accuracy may take longer to triangulate.

The hubris the man had was so perfectly demonstrated in his interview.

"There's a rule you don't do that. Well I did."

And now he's dead.

Something could have gone wrong electronically or mechanically warranting a ballast drop. I have considered this to be a possibility outside of them hearing cracks and suddenly wanting to go up.

  • Install app
  • Open app
  • Decline notifications permission.
  • Use app for what I need
  • Close app
  • Open app when needed.
  • Oh, you asked for notification permission again? Uninstalled.

I don't understand what is so hard about it. I've already said no to the request. Don't ask again.

I would be cautious with this thought process though. Oil cools, lubricates and cleans the engine. These engines are air cooled so keep that in mind. Degraded oil can't do the job very well.

Clean up your tabs please. Omg

You'll find a majority of gaming oriented laptops do this already. No accidents.

Whereas mainstream low to high end sticks it somewhere to be smashed accidentally.

It seems the average in the US is 10 years. But you can develop it and reach critical levels in as little as 5 years. Hard alcohol every day. Multiple times a day.

There is one actually.

It's obviously a WIP. A discord clone essentially

I use Mint (T-Mobile towers), $120 every 3 months. Unlimited calling, texting and data (your speed is throttled after 40GB). Included is 10GB hotspot data. I have absolutely no issues with it.
