This isn’t new, cell tower triangulation is a fact of the network operation and is part of how your signal gets handed off between towers as you travel. Airplane wouldn’t do anything unless it where to actually disable the sim entirely, and functionally even that doesn’t cut it in the USA given that a device without one can still connect to emergency services via any tower in reach.

This is just the carrier giving a customer the data that would already exist, for a price, which I thought T-Mo actually used to give for free…

Bad translation for a tea house, “Little Darjeelings” where everyone uses demitasse cups.

It’s a stretch but I tried…

Probably the first example, when I had finally gotten the idea to do some gym work (which she helped at that too) I commented to the effect of maybe I could look at doing a 5k. So she says let’s go do 14k which of course sounded nuts, so we went and did that. Next thing I know I finished a marathon because why not…

Similar to the markings used on trucks hauling hazardous materials. Might be for the fire dept if the place goes up in flames.

From the infosec practitioner perspective the number of bad actors coming from public VPN pops is exceptionally high compared to any other random IP, so they get put on a naughty list. We often cut out entire countries just because they have such a high ratio of bad 2 good traffic, particularly if it’s a country that we have no real expectation of user traffic originating from.

It’s not so much a VPN bad, but just that you’re hanging out with others that act bad. Kind of the Nazi bar thing but for hackers. If you set up a private VPN somehow on a random cloud host you likely wouldn’t see the same issues, how to keep the ownership anonymous though is another problem.
