No, but if I were still in school I would be extremely tempted to have it write out an essay instead of writing out pages. The only thing that kills it would be it obviously would not match my handwriting.

I saw that video, but I couldn't remember the name of the channel. Great channel though.

The best part is there are hand writing generating programs or even web pages that convert text to gcode allowing you to use a 3d printer to write things out. In theory it should be really hard to pass it off as being human written, let alone match your own writing, but I'm sure it will only get better. I think there are even models to try to match someone's writing.

It is my opinion that it should be legal to paint said stripes on someone's car if they park over the line. Should really hammer just how much of an asshole someone is if they have multitudes of stripes.

I thought a hacked 3DS couldn't play original NDS games without one of those ROM cards for the original DS. Can you run original DS games without it now?

Disclaimer: I am no expert by any means.

With that being said, as others have said, a DNS is like a phone book. By using PiHole with it going to a privacy respecting DNS service, you in theory eliminate being tracked by a DNS provider, but you do nothing to prevent your isp from tracking which ip addresses you access, and you do nothing to prevent search engines tracking which results you click on, you do nothing to prevent your web browser from tracking your browsing (especially on Chrome and Edge).

In summary:

DNS lookups: yes

ISP with IP addresses: no you would need a GOOD VPN or TOR and either one properly configured

Web browser: no, you need at least Firefox with data collection turned off, preferably with something like ublock installed.

Search engine: no, requires more research but supposedly duckduckgo and eccosia are privacy respecting *citation required

It is a self inflicted wound basically. Google killed support for how those ad blockers work.

Firefox based browsers literally will not have this problem at all.

Firefox for life! Well as long as they don't go evil or bankrupt. I am not surprised at all though.

  1. Kneecap plugin performance especially for AdBlock plugins claiming it's for security.
  2. Notify users that those plugins are slowing down Chrome.
  3. ???????
  4. Profit... or people hopefully switch
