This works on some sites but not all in my experience. Nothing works on all 100% of the time. My method generally works on all sites I’ve found that use this script (which is an increasing number and definitely on all dotdash Meredith sites like this/seriouseats/thespruce/etc) but it doesn’t work 100% of the time. I don’t know why. But anything that can defeat it should be promoted and that’s definitely much easier, should be tried first
This is a new kind of Adblock detection that is being deployed on many blogs, some forums, and other websites and it’s the next generation. AdGuard or uBlock won’t save you because the way it works is outside the scope of those plugins.
There’s essentially JS that happens before the page render that checks for resolution with fingerprinting servers. If this does not occur you get the error message about html-load.com or content-loader.com or whatever that looks like malware intercepting the page.
If the page implements the JS poorly (eg the page renders before the checks come back) it’s easily defeated with ublock by just blocking element and selecting the overlay. Though the page usually isn’t fully rendered it’s enough to read the content. Reader mode can often work in this scenario too. But on more competent blogs with actual tech support (like seriouseats.com, fuck you kenji, like you don’t have enough money), it’s implemented more competently and the page won’t render at all prior to the checks coming back.
As a result a solution is to lie. It’s cumbersome but if you run adguard dns (or maybe pihole, if that can also do dns rewrites, not sure), you can rewrite the offending servers checked for fingerprinting you like:
api64.ipify.org
cdn.cookielaw.org
id5-sync.com
cdn.id5-sync.com
dotdash-meredith.solutions.cdn.optable.co
static.cloudflareinsights.com
html-load.com
content-loader.com
To a null route on your network for all subdomains. Somewhere run a docker and rewrite them to resolve to that docker, run nginx on that docker and basically just have it return 204 to all requests you funnel to it.
Now those sites run the JS, there is dns resolution, tls handshake, fetch and response, but no fingerprint or analytics. It’s not perfect, the error still occurs 1:5 tries, but closing tab and retrying almost always has the page render fine without issue.
Just keep in mind that some of these will break other sites (specifically cookielaw.org and lots of shitty shopping sites) especially if you do this lazily and just route to nothing instead of something that can return 204.
Fuck all advertisers, never turn Adblock off, steal all content, defeat any antiadblock measure, destroy the ad industry because they ruined the world
All the people justifying carrying a knife everywhere: context, and also the kind of knife. I remember once being in the labor and delivery ward of a hospital and a guy visiting pulled out his wallet to sign in. He must’ve been one of those every day carry chumps because like 8 things fell out of his pocket, including a pocket knife that was at like 8” long.
What fucking threat are you gonna have to neutralize at the maternity ward you fucking nerd? Or do you think they’re gonna let you cut the cord with that dirty ass flea market knife that’s probably blunt as shit. All you’ve achieved is making everyone around you uncomfortable because america is loaded with incidents of mass violence.
Patient records can be subpoenaed but the request has to be relevant to a case. the persons defense as well as the provider has the right to argue against the release, though their arguments can be overruled and the provider can be compelled to release records and testify as to your diagnosis, treatment, clinical observations, etc.
It’s wild how people will regularly assume HIPAA is some magic force that protects them from government overreach. It’s not, at all. I’m not specifically shitting on you because I see this claim repeated all the time, even just here in this thread. Your providers should make the limitations of HIPAA more clear to you. They’re probably more concerned with getting you in and out to maximize billable time bc fee for service billing is fucked. That’s a whole different nightmare
A priest during confessional has more protection from being compelled to testify than any doctor or therapist. They even have stronger protections than lawyers. Lawyer client privilege can be overturned if you are found to be abusing it to plan crimes. If you brag to a clergy about all the crimes you’re gonna do (though if they help they will be punished for helping, the confessional is still inadmissible and protected). They are even usually exempt from mandated reporter laws (even though they’re often in the highest risk categories for child sex abuse). It’s fucked that this country gives a pass to pedophiles to rape kids because of a historical precedent towards fucking nonsense; meanwhile the fields built on a base of evidence that need to build trust have a cornerstone of “oh the judicial system can compel me if you become their enemy but btw if you go to church you can literally confess to raping kids and the murder you’re planning and no one will rat you out”.
Source: work in healthcare and have had records subpoenaed (successfully fought off 2/3 attempts, fuck you government)
But granted they aren’t getting trumps records. No fucking way. Even if someone had the balls to charge him with something and claim they needed them as evidence he’d get the entire government to make sure that never happened, even if it meant falsifying or even destroying the documents
Sophie died 4 years ago though she was great
Haha! The audacity of that is astounding. Piracy at least gives you autonomy and equivalent quality, in many cases it gives you superior quality at that
Well good thing they’ll own hbo max soon
Just out of curiosity I tried downloading the Netflix app and while that does work I couldn’t be bothered to make a trial account as it appears I need to give them a host of info including cc.
Looking online in kodi forums it appears the issue you describe is correct and ugoos lost Netflix certification though a newer option, the kinhank g1 may retain Netflix certification and still provide profile 7 FEL dv playback.
This is why I don’t support Netflix and instead keep media in jellyfin. Dolby/dts and even hdmi are fucking awful but I can at least work around them and ensure my hardware is in a working state. As long as I ensure new hardware and software additions will work I’ll be okay because worst case scenario I can just freeze things as they are and kick myself for adopting an lg oled or whatever. Netflix/hulu/disney/etc control of my content library? No way, it’s constantly at their whim. Revoke a license for perfectly capable machine because fuck you that’s why
op straight up said that one bud but yes imperialism has a lot of murderers walking among us. Some of your zionist friends may have committed war crimes during their time in israel only to come back to home to 0 consequences and to be a fucking sociopath that, I dunno, goes on tinder dates without dropping the bomb that they sniped children that posed 0 threat because they’re fucking inhuman monsters
If you’re old enough you’ve definitely met someone who has done at least one murder. The question is intent as you’ve said: did you meet the drunk driver or the serial killer with 50 bodies in the basement who hasn’t been caught.
Also this applies to rape and that is far more common because it is simply less reported. One of your buddies might be a person that has straight up forced a person to have sex, maybe violently
The android side should be able to run Netflix with Dolby vision/hdr/atmos though I have not tested this because I don’t have an account.
The reason it works for Dolby vision playback in kodi/core elec is because it’s licensed. That’s why you end up having to dual boot, you need to retain the blobs on the android side to make the DV profiles work. It’s fucking dumb and Dolby vision is dumb and proprietary but technically superior but hdr10+ is open but lg doesn’t support it, it’s all fucking dumb. HTPCs dont work great with DV, at least for pirated content (not sure about streaming). They’ll play some profiles with specific software configurations but not all. Generally you end up tonemapping
Anyway it’s licensed for Dolby vision because it’s primarily meant as a box for streaming apps, so I assume Netflix/hbo max/etc would work. I don’t have accounts so I don’t know. I only use the android side for iptv
Raising the importance of both having a rooted tv and independent analysis of network traffic related to these devices
You buy a $400-$3000 tv and eliminate big parts of the feature set (dlna, phone/laptop as remote, airplay/casting, etc) because you let their nonsense prevent you from connecting something you purchased to the internet so the vendor won’t ruin it.
Or you buy any other brand where rooting isn’t even an option and the ad penetration is often worse because they’re almost all based around amazon, androidtv, or Roku, all of which are much more developed and mature. With tricks like not allowing you to set a custom dns for Adblocking (Roku does this) or hard defining a cloudflare DNS to circumvent ad blocking dns if you set it at the router level (android does this).
If all the options are shit, make one that works
Modern replacement as a kodi box for both shield and pi is ugoos am6b+. ~120$ on aliexpress (probably more with tariffs) and once you flash it with coreelec it can natively playback pretty much any format except av1. You still dual boot to android so can also run all the streaming apps too, if you want, and the android is really stripped back vs the shield (especially the later releases where ad bullshit creeped in quite a bit) though not fully degoogled because the play store is still present.
Main downside is some issues with hdmi-cec. It works 99% but power on doesn’t when in coreelec. Ugoos locked the bootloader for some reason and refuses to unlock it. Fixes for this depend on equipment and use scenario. Some people on the forum that watch tv a lot just disable power on/off cec and leave it running 24/7, it’s pretty low power. I have an avr that works with hdmi-cec and home assistant so I have hdmi-cec on/off turned on, it will turn off when I turn the tv off with remote, and when I turn the tv on the avr turns on via CEC then home assistant sends a wake-on-lan packet to the device, which turns it on. A bit of a delay, but works.
Only device on the market that can properly play back Dolby vision though, including commercial bluray players. If you download 2160p remux with the dv layer for lg oled this is literally the only thing that plays it back correctly. Alternatively just get hdr rips
If you root your lg oled you can truly block automatic updates. You can also install ad free youtube with sponsorblock integrated plus a bunch of other stuff that is of varying utility depending on your use case.
In general though just don’t connect it to the internet and get a $100 box for jellyfin from china (ugoos am6b+ works great and can playback basically anything but av1 natively if you flash Coreelec, the android side can still run streaming apps if you insist or iptv apps like tv mate since iptv support in kodi/jellyfin suuuucks).
Lg has proven they don’t respect consent by silently opting you in to data collection with updates. The updates never add features or bug fixes, just ugly UI changes and shit like this. It’s almost never worth updating unless someone is specifically saying “you should update, it fixes/adds ____
In the future don’t support them but at the same time it’s the “who the fuck can you support/oh you use an iphone under capitalism” problem. Yeah you don’t need a big tv, you don’t need an oled, you can buy a far more expensive commercial display, etc. I dunno
Consensual advertising is ok. You make a website for your business that I visit because I search for or advertise in the yellow pages or whatever it is fine. I sought out information and you are listed in a directory.
The problem of course is gaming these systems. SEO and shit. Some people will pay a great deal of money to be listed first. What’s fair? Is alphabetical fair? Does that give an advantage to “Aaron”? I don’t know. But we aren’t even at the point where this is a real discussion so it doesn’t matter I guess.
Otherwise the advertising profession has consistently shown that they have no ethics whatsoever and if you give them an inroad into your thing they will overtake and destroy it. The radio, newspaper, tv, internet, outdoors, literally everything. All the privacy concerns we have online tie back to advertising fucks and government overreach.
Your job sucks fuck you
Of course what you said is accurate. But you’re missing the point. The point is that there is a systemic issue wherein a business owner can capture equity and keep it from their workers.
Neolibs hate this because they’re like b-b-but what if I start a small business?? Or what if I finally get that promotion into the c suite?? I need to be able to extract wealth from the peons!!
In a just society there would be Amazon but jeff bezos would be far less wealthy because the average Amazon worker would have a significant amount of shares in the company, since without them the company wouldn’t exist. But instead will live in a society that serves oligarchs and allows the overwhelming majority of those workers to be paid essentially nothing while a small portion of people at the top of the hierarchy not only get reimbursed in exponentially more money, but equity shares as well.
When you point out they can buy influence without addressing the systemic issues it’s like you’re saying “oh hey it’s not like they actually have the money. They just have this influence.” But you don’t connect a to b and it’s like are you fucking dumb? The have that influence because we give it to them. Thus, bootlicker
An ad being clever doesn’t make it okay. And it’s not even clever, it’s just a basic reference. Ads being more pervasive are disgusting. This is disgusting. Is it okay for ads to be on literally every single surface in existence as long as it’s “clever” and “not too big”? Because the scum fucks in advertising firms will literally do whatever they can to cover every surface in garbage and this is just another step in that direction.
Fuck all advertising and destroy all advertisers. They will destroy everything in their path otherwise
