>> I use it for torrenting so my ISP can't snoop on me

Would installing WireGuard server on a router directly solve this (like Gl-Inet travel routers)?


Have a separate small travel router with embedded VPN support to connect printer to Wi-fi hotspot with whatever region it wants to see.

It's not HP's or any other vendor's business to know where you are. This is an easy solution to this.

I have a few routers at home with a separate Wifi hotspot each configured for separate country to avoid exactly this nonsense for different services.

Advantage of this approach is you can travel with a small travel router all over the world while feeding each of the service with a consistent country location.

Added privacy is a benefit.


Wait. Your printer has online DRM?! Does it work without an internet connection?

That's much worse than the situation in the article, which is just region locked cartridges.


Doesn't sound like it has to be online if they're blocking it using a VPN. But probably it phones home opportunistically, similar to modern TVs and most other "smart" stuff.


Any recommendations on travel routers that support VPNs, specifically either wireguard or openvpn?


Yes, google: "gl inet travel routers". Supports everything.

And this: https://www.gl-inet.com/products/compare/

I have about 5 of these at home, each configured at different subnet and VPN for different country. One i always take with me while traveling to securely connect via shady hotel Wi-Fi's.

You can even go crazy with it - install ZeroTier directly in the router by typing few commands and access low-level config of the router from anywhere.


Thanks :)


I'm sure there would be a line-up of good-willing buyer(s) for DPREVIEW.

This is an exceptional portal with second-to-none depth of photo technology coverage.

It feels like something is missing in "we're closing" message. Cost is not the problem these days.

Pending lawsuits?

Blackmail from deep pocket disgruntled vendor?


Does it follow redirects and removes affiliate links?


Yes it should be and will be in a due time.

AMZN carefully watches the marketplace for "wonders" who are monetizing inefficiencies and if these inefficiencies worth big enough profit, AMZN will fill the gap themselves.

Platform is never your friend or "partner" even if they say so.


Customer pays data analytics vendor to tackle bunch of their [low quality, big size] data.

If you have no tangible capabilities to do above, asking customer "ARE YOU IN THE BIG DATA ONE PERCENT?" will be the quickest way out of the door.


Or allow concealed carry and stand their ground for responsible citizens to protect their lives.

Problem solved.

I wonder if it leaves a more discrete watermark or something. EXIF info?


I signed up for GPT, asked two questions and this was the end of it.

The answers were "...it is not scientifically proven" BS.

Something I already proved with my own life, GPT is not willing to answer and risk its good, politically correct name for.

Google is here for stay until people are ready to give up spoon fed BS


If by Google you mean Brave Search, Yandex, Kagi and others then yes, Google results are extremely censored.


well, what did you ask?


Definitely something racist or otherwise offensive.
