godelmachine··on Tech giants join call for funding U.S. chip production
If this truly comes to fruition, it would be a prime mover in displacing Chinese global hegemony and stave off its bullish nature.

China maintains economic well being by donating the chip market and also the supply chains.

The Quad has emerged to dislocate Chinese tyranny in the Indo-Pacific, and US chip takeover will be one of the last strokes in China’s downfall.

While I agree with most of what you said, I hear some insinuating connotations about DARPA.

Might I inquire how DARPA was a bad actor?

My stand here is that a good thing came form a good agency.

I believe this is the right tone to perform a SWOT analysis , but then again I am just repeating what you are saying.

I believe Instagram is a good example of how they decided to pivot and made it big.

>>that uses behavioural analysis to detect the early signs of a cyberattack on a network

Have these guys filed for any patents?

It’s my belief that if you want to make the cut in the InfoSec business, you gotta bring some core offering of your own to the table.

For ex - some groundbreaking algorithm that will help them detect early stages of an attack.

My information comes from the fact that my colleague who got vaccinated 2 days ago, now has her 12 year old daughter exhibiting symptoms. The daughter is having 101-103.5 fever since yesterday afternoon.

My colleague told me whatever I said in previous comment.

godelmachine··on How does BBC iPlayer know I'm not in UK despite logging into UK server via VPN?
Hey thanks for this info.

I am in a UK address and getting many details out of which I am posting just these, posting others might be extraneous -

“Your IP addresses - WebRTC detection

DNS Address - 1 server, 1 errors.

If you are now connected to a VPN and between the detected DNS you see your ISP DNS, then your system is leaking DNS requests.”

Ergo, I believe I can safely rule out WebRTC Leaks.

Also, the page gives some details on how to switch off WebRTC for every browser. I don’t need to switch off my WebRTC, right? It’s necessary. NordVPN should be taking care of WebRTC leaks, unless I am mistaken.

godelmachine··on How does BBC iPlayer know I'm not in UK despite logging into UK server via VPN?
Ok ta
godelmachine··on How does BBC iPlayer know I'm not in UK despite logging into UK server via VPN?
>>What is your system time? If it's not British time you're somewhere else

I am not based in UK. Do you think I should be changing my iPhone timeline to UK? It will be a clunky workaround but doable.

>>What is your actual IP? Where is that IP based?

Would you please tell me how do I use the above command to run in my iPhone to find my actual IP? Please note that I keep my VPN on 24 * 7 so that my real IP is never sent out on the web.

>>What is the return-time between a ping (or similar) from the BBC to you and back?

It should be around 18-20msec when I last did a speedtest with the VPN on. How can I check my ping time to the BBC iPlayer site? Is there a website which will help me do this?

godelmachine··on How does BBC iPlayer know I'm not in UK despite logging into UK server via VPN?
Ok, will try this as well. Clunky but worth a try.

Ta.

godelmachine··on How does BBC iPlayer know I'm not in UK despite logging into UK server via VPN?
Hey thanks for taking interest.

I never switch off my VPN. Are you suggesting -

1. I switch off my VPN.

2. Then turn on my VPN.

3. Then delete my cache and cookies

4. Then visit BBC iPlayer?

I think I have been doing this since a long time but hasn’t really worked. I need to wait for a few days on UK server VPN before BBC iPlayer thinks I am a legit visitor. I tried converting this in my above post as well, through I am afraid I don’t portray a clear picture.

godelmachine··on How does BBC iPlayer know I'm not in UK despite logging into UK server via VPN?
Ta, and that sounds like a plausible explanation.

I read up on ASN (Autonomous systems numbering) and M247 as well.

Is there a way I can camouflage my IP headers so that BBC won't detect M247? Would using different protocols which NordVPN offers do any different - SOCKS, P2P?

Thanks for your suggestion again.

godelmachine··on How does BBC iPlayer know I'm not in UK despite logging into UK server via VPN?
Thanks for talking interest but how do I check both points which you have kindly brought forth?

1. Making all my DNS requests are going through my VPN? (My VPN is on, 24*7)

2. Testing my VPN connection for WebRTC leaks? (I use NordVPN)

godelmachine··on How does BBC iPlayer know I'm not in UK despite logging into UK server via VPN?
I don’t use iOS app to watch any series like on BBC iPlayer like “Line of Duty”

I use the browser. Today I watched using Chrome on my iOS.

godelmachine··on How does BBC iPlayer know I'm not in UK despite logging into UK server via VPN?
Well, the BBC iPlayer does ask visitors to turn off their VPN, so your theory does hold water.

Anyone knows what might have caused the outage? Someone working in data centers might have a clue.
