Proton VPN NetShield
    • Does it block Cookie's banners?
      • Are these the cookie consent things? It doesn't block them, I recommend consent-o-matic extension.
    • Is it necessary for the VPN to be constantly activated to benefit from the block?
      • Yes
    • Is it better than uBlock-Origin?
      • It's different. You can use both at the same time. I do and it works great.
    • When is the page loading speed consistent?
      • Not sure what you mean by this, but I haven't noticed any speed reductions using it on Wi-Fi or cellular. I haven't done any speed test comparisons, though.
    • On iPhone, does the battery take a hit?
      • It has to constantly run, so yes. But it may reduce the data downloaded, which will save some battery life. I use it on Android and I think it drains the battery a little faster, so I only use it when I'm on public Wi-Fi.
  • Monopoly
  • Monopoly is literally capitalist propaganda. Parker Brothers basically stole the game from its creator and then offered $500 for the rights. They modified the game to be more focused on owning everything.

    Cautionary Tales has a great episode about Lizzie J. Magie and how she originally created the Landlord's Game.

  • I think the new thing is that VPN usage is fairly mainstream now. There are lots of services that advertise themselves as having the ability to hide all traffic. It's certainly news to me, as I hadn't even heard of a VPN in 2003. The researchers do say that this has been possible since 2002.

  • The exploit is possible because the local network may have a rogue DHCP server overwriting IP routes. If you're on a mobile network, they are the local network. TunnelVision means a mobile carrier can spy on your VPN traffic now. Unless you run Android.

  • It doesn't affect Android and Linux is the only OS with the possibility of a fix. I've seen people suppose that Android just always ignores option 121. My guess for Linux is that, because system level changes are allowed, you can modify the system to ignore option 121.

    I'm not a network engineer, so I do not know this for sure. Does anyone else know more about it?

  • NASA’s Webb Hints at Possible Atmosphere Surrounding Rocky Exoplanet
  • It has an atmosphere like Venus has an atmosphere, except the surface temperature is more than 3x that of Venus. Still, it's fascinating that its atmosphere would be a secondary one that comes from the planet itself.
