    If you’re going to do illegal shit, or shit against the owner class, don’t use modern technology to do it.

        Wasn’t there some way to fingerprint typewriters as well based on yhe exact shape of the letter stencils? I vaguely remember something like that being an actual thing for solving crimes

      Kind of an an-prim take. Understand the technology you’re using. The only thing you should take for granted is that any opportunity tech has to spy on you has already been exploited by multiple outlets. Use your worst possible faith and you’ll probably still fall short of what’s happening.

      Or do while making sure you 100% know WTF you are doing. Some modern tech, like onion routing and encryption, are still very useful.

      But if you’re not the kind of person who can convert a 32 bit hex number to decimal in your head or recognize a JTAG port on a device when you see it, then yeah stay away.

        Golden rule: always go for old tech, unless you have a specific reason for going modern.

        I used to think that until having kids. Constantly have to print stuff off for their school to be signed or turned it.

        Also my printer was amazing during Covid. Printed out coloring pages to occupy them.

        Someone should tell Cannon, Pacific Office Automation, and my office that printers are retro then. Because my workplace operates off paper still, not my department, but everyone else.
