663·3 months agoThis article seems a little misinformed: VPNs are still regularly used in business and are necessary for companies to function. That’s still probably their primary use if I had to guess.
People who are trying to ban them clearly have no clue what they’re doing as banning VPNs would be an absolute disaster, not just for privacy minded people or folks who want to watch something region locked, but for the basic tech functions of just about any sizeable business.

9·4 months agoI don’t think that would work particularly well with AR: People get sick if movement isn’t synced up properly, not having any sort of cameras or sensors at all would exacerbate that problem.
If you are talking about a simple HUD, then that might be a lot more viable, but for AR and the tech we currently have, some sort of camera or sensor array is kind of a requirement practically speaking.
I am all for stopping it, but the politicians suggesting these bans have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about or how damn near impossible it would be to actually accomplish: Fight it? Absolutely! It’s stupid as hell and will be a complete waste of time and money.
It will 100% not stop anyone with even moderate technical ability, but yes, it should still be fought against.
