Thanks. I gave him this suggestion and the one from others about using the manufacturer’s proprietary drivers.

Thanks. I’ll let him know. I think he has either a Canon or Lexmark.

The issue you are experiencing likely has nothing to do with the VPN. Network connectivity is not needed to unlock the car. I have been in places with no cell phone signal and it still works.

I do sometimes experience the same issue you are. If I wake up my phone, then it works. So it may be working for you not because you disabled the VPN, but because you woke up your phone and it then sent out the bluetooth signal to let the car know you were nearby.

Thanks for summarizing this up for us. It will be interesting to see where this goes.

Amazon has been progressively getting worse and worse. I was not a member of Prime for the video. It was a nice perk.

The combination of Amazon making it hard to search for things to buy, the huge amount of low quality crap for sale with confusing descriptions, and this most recent change of putting in place ads if I do not pay an additional fee has led me to cancel my subscription.

They have taken the enshittification too far. Good bye Amazon. Hello Home Depot, Target, et al.

I used the .onion link using Onion Browser on iOS. The front page loaded fine, but articles were paywalled. This leads me to believe that it is not browsing through Tor that is allowing the paywall bypass, but rather something Tor Browser is doing.

One experiment might be to go to https://nytimes.com using Tor Browser and see if it also still bypasses the paywall. If my theory is correct, it just might…

I also used the link you posted. It loaded but was still paywalled. :( But I am using Onion Browser on iOS. So maybe it is something Tor browser is doing and not because their .onion site lacks the paywall.

lol. He is just stirring the pot. It’s what he does. I recommend ignoring him and just using something else. It is either going to sink or not.

Ex-twitter seems to me to be going in a disjointed “by the seat of the pants” direction. It’s like a kid playing with his new toy. “My toy, I make the rules and I don’t care what you think.”

The thing is, it technically is his toy. It is not a global square. It is a private company. I take issue with what has been going on, but my opinions are irrelevant to the situation.

It is indirectly linked from the article via a “the service formerly known as Twitter” link.
