Why would you expect to get the same answer to those two questions? They're completely different, and answering Yes to 1 and No to 2 is self-consistent.
Or do you mean that responders answered No to 1 and Yes to 2?
The implication is "no" to 1 and "yes' to 2, because the first is framed as giving prisoners a privilege and the second is framed as punishing them. Unfortunately the source for this was likely Ken White (@popehat), and he's left Twitter and removed his tweets, so it's not possible to confirm the original wording. I'm pretty sure it was just an offhand remark he made and not something that's actually been studied.
Tailscale only allows you to create a new account by signing in with Google, Microsoft or GitHub. It's a real shame because it's a great service otherwise, but this left a very sour taste.
The term "VPN service" has become synonymous with "proxy service that allows circumventing region locks that is implemented using VPN". These services are often pretty scammy and have come in the news often for harvesting user data.
These VPN services have little to do with the traditional meaning of a VPN. They don't provide a private network at all, they just use VPN tech to implement a proxy service.
Tailscale is not a "VPN service" in that sense, they actually provide software for setting up a VPN between computers you control.
Yes, that's what my comment is about: Tailscale is about privacy from the outside world for your network, not the privacy and anonymity VPN proxy services claim to provide.
Something being private and having privacy mean very different things in practice. I can stand in the middle of a field that is my private land, but have no privacy from people on the adjacent road looking at what I'm doing or listening to what I'm saying.
No they don’t. VPNs allow _access_ to a set of subnets that might not be accessible otherwise - normally from external to private. Even though usually vpn traffic is encrypted it’s not a rule or an inherent property of VPNs - see GRE and PPTP for example.
It does look like they support SAML and OIDC. I think the idea here is that many (most?) Tailscale users will be corporations, and most corporations would rather integrate Tailscale access with their existing auth system, and not have an extra employee account to deal with that needs to be disabled when the employee leaves the company.
That does make things harder for small shops where things are more ad-hoc, or an individual hobbyist who wants to use it. But not sure how much of Tailscale's market consists of people like that, or if Tailscale even cares that much about that segment. No judgment if they don't; that's a perfectly reasonable decision to make.
If you want anonymity, why not just create new Google/Microsoft/GitHub accounts? How is that different from creating a new "Tailscale account" - presumably with what, your existing gmail address?
They incur significantly less disclosure from the actual business that's going public than an IPO does (because the SPAC files these instead, before they've chosen a target). So, a business that thinks it's too weak and/or early to IPO can merge with a SPAC instead.
Mine is Firefox default "Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5" yet google maps and search turned into French when I was in Luxembourg just for couple of days. Luckily they don't turn to ruscish any more when I'm in baltics.
My youtube ads are the same 2-3 casino/sports betting things over and over again. Tho I never have nor never will partake in any of those nor have I ever clicked on one, so it is just unbelievably stupid.
I’ve heard en-US is often considered as a default value and thus to be ignored when deciding user language. Set it to any other en-* value and chances are that it will override local indicators such as country IP.
That's really weird then. I'm often in Thailand and Google's never tried to change my interface language, though it does keep suggesting videos in Thai.
I didn't really notice until the last paragraph, which was egregious. "Even if you've already got one that works fine, it might be a bit worn out, buy a new one".
The problem with using old phones is that the battery swells up after a few months left continuously on charge. You could extend the life using Tasker and a smart plug, but you'd lose a lot of the UPS's potential.
