https://act.eff.org/action/no-privacy-rollback-for-the-fbi-s-biometric-mega-database
>Since 2008, the FBI has been assembling a massive database of biometric information on tens of millions of people, collected not just during arrests, but also for non-criminal reasons like immigration, background checks, and state licensing requirements.
>And for years, the FBI has dragged its feet in complying with federal privacy laws, resulting in a scathing indictment by the Government Accountability Office for hiding important information about the scope of its face recognition program from the public. The FBI has further failed to address fundamental flaws with the facial recognition system’s accuracy, which may disproportionately impact communities of color, who are over-represented in the NGI database in the first place.
>The FBI is now rushing to exempt its NGI data from parts of the Privacy Act. Its proposal would deny you the right to know what information it has on you and eliminate the FBI’s obligation to correct inaccurate data.
>EFF joins scores of civil liberties organizations in filing comments opposing this waiver. We’re also challenging the dubious “Systems of Records Notice” (SORN) the FBI issued much too late, with far too little information about how it affects everyday people. Join us today by signing this petition.

what does this have to do with the RX480?
What's this got to do with the newest phone about to be released???
Hardly surprising. They're getting information directly from the states in several states where photos are supplied directly from the DMV to the FBI.
I'm already fucked for being in the DHS Trusted Traveler Database, but so is anyone with a visa or passport. It's pretty fucked.

What's a good mp3 player to get?
I got a refurbished Clip Plus 3 years ago for $20 and its finally died. I have a 64 GB sd card that needs supporting, otherwise i just need something that works.
most the advertisements mp3 players say they only support sdhc cards (32 GB), not sdxc (64 GB +)
Phone
Dedicated music players are pretty rare today. The only things I see on the market anymore are bottom end gym clips and expensive hi-fi options.

Fingerprinting thread, postal edition.
Previous thread: >>55307092
ReCAPTCHA probably contains fingerprinting code:
https://archive.is/9K5gs
This means that the majority of 4chan users could be being fingerprinted, and Google might know about your shitposting habits.
To fix this you can get a pass (which allows you to be tracked by 4chan in a different way), or run 4chan with the no JavaScript CAPTCHA (use 4chan X to make 4chan without JS bearable).
Daily reminder to do all your Facebook / Youtube / LinkedIn / botnet shit in a completely separate browser to your Googling or buying shit.
It's currently the ONLY way to truly defend against fingerprint tracking.
Double points if you have each browser running in a different VM with a different OS.
Triple points if you have each browser's VM configured with a different VPN.
The Tor Browser Bundle is still susceptible to many fingerprinting attacks that can uncover your true OS and browser.
Spoofing your user-agent is counterproductive unless you use a different user-agent for every site, even if you rotate them every x HTTP requests.
Is fingerprint spoofing the future?
Or is it too difficult since there are so many tests, some difficult to spoof, and new tests being created constantly?
Is it really necessary that we spoof our whole fingerprint, wouldn't partial work, at least until the trackers caught on?
Do the Tor browser guys have the right idea with trying to give everybody the same fingerprint?
>>55328857
Wow, that's probably the first picture I ever saw when I first came to 4chan.
>>55308259
That's a terrible idea. It has to actually detect tracking to learn and block stuff, and it will only do so if you send a DNT header. There are forms of tracking that are undetectable on the client side, but that we have rational reason to be wary of. An additional list based blocker/trafficshaper that resists being detected by website software is a good idea.

The FoxGloves extension worked quite well before the developers were bribed to stop updating it.

NoScript has a unique ability to sanitize inline scripts. It is useful to run it in permissive mode along with uMatrix in blockbydefault mode for that function.

>That is pretty damning of NoScript's author
It's also good demonstration of how your browser handles such a case.

>Google's My Activity Reveals How Much It Knows About You
Somehow I doubt they're telling us everything.
I think this is just a limited hangout.
What I want to see is every website they've tracked me on, but this just shows obvious stuff like what youtube videos I've watched.
Can anyone recommend reasonably priced monitoring system?
System that:
1. Can have two or more cameras
2. Records footage for more than a week
3. It's accessible from internet
https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/wiki
Just search eBay for some known brand like Samsung or ZMODO.
Any fractionally decent system can do that. Even chinkshit systems can do that.

not OP, but thanks for the post!
Everyone's freaking out about the 480 but what about CPUs? Do those even matter anymore?
They just scream i7
>>55328869
I thought i5 was fine for gaming, isn't it?
>>55328833
No, I'm using a pentium 4 with my 1080
Let's sum it up:
*Costs more than a non-reference GTX 970 (Europe here) despite having significantly worse performance (except in selected DX12 titles)
*Despite 14nm still same efficiency as old 28nm 970s
*Violates PCIe specification due to too high power draw from the slot
*Literally no overclock headroom
*Extremely cheap cooler who makes the card run hot AND is somewhat loud
Nvidias 970 is a fucking two years old gimped cripple card and it is still a clearly better choice than the 480.
WHAT
THE
FUCK
AMD.

>hurr durr 480 is much more future proof due to 8GB and async compute
The 480 can't even handle game settings which push VRAM over 4GB. It's just like these snakeoil shitcards like the GT 730 with 4GB. Do you think that card is also more futureproof?
I really hope the custom designs will fix these issues, otherwise the graphics card market is still fucked.
>>55328831
I was about to sell my 380 to get the 480 but now that I've seen what this card does I think its better to stay with my card and wait for vega.
>>55328831
here's the (you) you wanted mr. shill
>>55328831
Do we really need 100 threads every time a shitty GPU is released?
The 480 was a bust and now I have $600 sitting around ready to buy to a new GPU, what do I get. I'm putting it into my custom loop so i need to buy a new block, should I get the 980ti, 1070, or 1080? If I get the 1070 or 1080 I'll wait of course (possibly till cyber Monday)
My screen is at 1440p btw

1070
>>55328717
I was thinking that too, the 1080 seems a little overkill

Is there a way to stop coil whine on this thing?
I have 7 days to send it back
Coil whine sounds good, who cares?
>>55328760
Kek
Coil whine isn't an actual issue with the hardware though. Unless it's extremely loud I don't know why you would be bothered by it when you're probably going to have music playing or headphones in and won't even hear it.
Could probably get a replacement by acting like an ass and saying it's broken because of the whining noise being because of bad caps or something if you really want to.
Is veracrypt backdoored?

>code hosted on microsoft servers
Of course it is.
>>55328233
1) did you write it
2) is it FOSS
3) did you compile and run from source on a trusted platform
just use truecrypt. it's fine
