I've built myself a Redox (Open Source split keyboard).

That one has a number row. Also due to the possibility of programming multiple layers I can hold down a key on the left half, then use the right half as a numpad.

It would also be possible to program it as a toggle button to switch to jumped more, so you don't have to hold it down, but I prefer not having some kind of invisible state in my keyboard that I have to keep track of.

I did it last week and always got an error trying to create a new microsoft account during the migration process, even in different browsers and after disabling adblockers. Then I just manually created a microsoft account on the microsoft website and in the minecraft migration process chose to use an existing account instead of creating one. That worked for some reason.

Before youtube disabled recommendation for people with watch history turned off, having watch history turned off made it so your recommendations were only based on channels you are subscribed to and possibly videos you've liked, commented on, ...

There are some categories where I only ever search for the category, then watch a video, but never subscribe to any channel. Those videos were never recommended to me. Meanwhile on my girlfriends pc with watch history turned on, as soon as I watch a single video from a channel she's not subscribed to similar videos appear all over the front page.

Yes. This works because AdGuard is installed on your Mac and adds itself to the trusted authorities there. Basically computers with adguard installed will trust the certificate while computers without AdGuard installed will not trust it.

Some companies do something similar (like another commenter here mentioned), where they install their own certificate on all work provided devices, allowing them to man-in-the-middle all connections. Personal devices without the company certificate installed will then just show the certificate error.

Mostly no. PiHole works by providing a DNS server.

A DNS server is responsible for turning domain names such as en.wikipedia.org into internet protocol addresses such as 185.15.58.224.

PiHole has a list of known ad serving domains and when asked to resolve one just replies with an invalid address.

Running the DNS server itself would only give them access to the above mentioned data. However, they could respond with wrong addresses to redirect all traffic over a man in the middle proxy.

For an https secured connection this would just result in a certificate error, warning the user to not proceed. Https secured websites have a certificate electronically signed by a trusted outside party, that verifies that they really are the owner of a specific domain.

Another option would be to redirect the user to a man in the middle proxy that pretends to not support https in order to trick the browser and server into opening an unencrypted connection. This works on some websites, but can be noticed by the user (as the browser now displays "Not Secure" and "http://") in the address bar) and is protected again by newer security mechanisms like HSTS that allow websites to tell browsers to always contact them over https in the future.

Basically if the site supports HSTS and you have visited it before this also won't work.

Usually the websites and apps you use, but not what specific page you visit and it's content.

If you for example visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_unions_in_the_United_States they could see that you visited https://en.wikipedia.org/ but nothing more.

This is assuming that the website is encrypted (it starts with https://, not http://), which nowadays luckily most websites are. Otherwise they can see the specific page, it's content and most likely also all information you input on that page.

After noticing that ctrl+c doesn't work he tried typing exit, which put him in edit mode.

They recently announced that they will publish new exploits at DEF CON next week and recommend owners to not update their firmware if they want to take advantage of that.

So depending on how the exploit works installing Valerie might get a lot simpler. It usually takes quite some time until such exploits are not only fixed, but then also for devices with fixed firmware to hit the shelves.

There was no bot net doing the outlines. The r/placeDE Discord prepared an overlay and distributed it to many other large communities and twitch streamers.

At the time or the whiteout the r/placeDE had 6500 active users in the voice chat coordinating to draw the outlines. A German streamer sent his 100k+ viewers to draw the letters. Other big communities also contributed.
