> I still don’t like macOS and would prefer to run Linux on this laptop. But Asahi Linux still needs some work before it’s usable for me (I need external display output, and M4 support). This doesn’t bother me too much, though, as I don’t use this computer for serious work.

“I don’t use this computer for serious work.” Dropped $3K on MBP to play around with. Definitely should have gotten MBA

Ten years ago, I was working for a US post-production company that produced a one-off game show in China. We used OpenVPN to monitor our servers, but it was being blocked. I ended up setting up a new OpenVPN server using obfsproxy, and it worked. It might be worth trying in your situation: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/TrafficObfuscatio...

From the article https://www.unite.ai/deepfaked-voice-enabled-35-million-bank...

"Though users at the Audio Fakes Discord and the DeepFaceLab Discord are intensely interested in combining the two technologies into a single video+voice live deepfake architecture, no such product has publicly emerged as yet."

While I am aware that it is possible to use software to clone someone's voice, I am uncertain if it is currently feasible to utilize the cloned voice in real-time situations.

I am curious if these scammers are pre-recording conversations and playing them back in real-time or if they are actually able to speak using the cloned voice technology.

The thing about the unsubscribe button that I've found, if you use an alias, hackernews@example.com but your 'real' email is mike@example.com (catch-all email), Gmail unsubscribe will submit the 'real' email, mike@example.com, which doesn't work and can back fire by giving spammers your 'real' email.
