People can just switch DNS easily, I am not sure what they’re thinking. It is hard to visit archive.today with certain VPN providers that use cloudflare. They do something to poison Cloudflare.

Maybe sites should focus on better paywall blocking if they don’t like it.

Brave has it built in, where you can use it custom instead of paying or it being sent to their servers. I personally disabled it. I remember when Pocket was a thing for Firefox, and they made it built in, and people complained about it being proprietary.

They then bought it. Now they’re removing it. I imagine this is what Mozilla will do after they realize nobody wants their AI. There’s already 1000 different AIs as is. We don’t need another one. I just use Librewolf or Waterfox for my Firefox fork, as it strips out the sponsored ads and telemetry.

Six figure income? I don’t get that, maybe they have kids or something. They’re lucky, I’d dream to have a job that even paid 60k.

Maybe stick to AM4 and processors for now that don’t have AI feature? I have AM4, it works perfect and I haven’t had to upgrade yet. I think there would be a way to disable all of the AI, like with app OOSU10 or tron. Second option would be to install Linux OS and use Wine for any Windows app and for anything buggy that wouldn’t work well, using a vm for it.

Speaking of, there’s VPNs or you could use PIHole to block Microsoft’s telemetry and AI ips.
