If you set your language on a website what’s the difference between them using the header versus using the selected language for fingerprinting?

I understand what you’re saying but even I, a person who splits all their traffic between three different VPN tunnels and goes way too far with DNS blocking don’t really care about fingerprinting based on language.

If the person really cares so much they can set the browser language back to English then manually change it on each website they visit. We shouldn’t punish everyone on such a silly privacy preference.

Edit: Yeah of course just downvote me, don’t bother to engage in any kind of dialog.

It’s like all the developers in the field got handed access to some IP dataset and they’re just looking for reasons to use it. Screw the users I guess?

It would be way more user-friendly to use the language in the HTTP headers. As a web developer the fact that websites are too stupid to do this really grinds my gears. This is just as bad as assuming the language/region from the geolocation of the IP address.

C’mon guys…

Is it weird if I remember exactly how this feels?

When are you all going to stop crying and start making fun of this stuff again.

…continues to bitch and moan…

No but other countries might want to take stock of what’s happening and weigh the pros and cons of increasing their defense spending.

I get that this is in the news but whether it’s actually something newsworthy feels debatable.

It’s a 2009 Audi A3 hatchback with the sport package. While old, I’m in love with the car and it’s my first “nice” car. I already dumped way too much money into it fixing things, but I work from home and mainly use it on the weekend anyway.

I want to hold onto the car as long as possible. I do want it to look nice so it’s kind of worth it for me.

The manufacturer would have had to have already installed a radio for either of the two. Another downside would be having to have a gateway device for either.

Philips hue uses Zigbee (the hub they give you is a Zigbee gateway). I’m also into the Aqara ecosystem which uses the two as well.

I tried watching the first episode and turned off after 30 minutes because nothing happened. I had friends who loved watching it but it just seemed like a soap opera aimed at men—the drama was way too heavy for me.

My car is in rather excellent shape mechanically but I need to prioritize reupholstering and repainting it within the next few months.

…which is why we shouldn’t be using WiFi for IoT devices when we have Zigbee and Z-Wave. I’ll never know why they’ll insist on using the more expensive and always changing WiFi standard.
