At the moment the best is probably Google WaveNet/Neural2, you can try it here: https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech

You can use the API to read books/articles aloud in real-time, but it is quite expensive after the free trial.

It's still possible to use XPrivacyLua (https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua) with passing SafetyNet. It's a cat-and-mouse game, but the community is still ahead.

You can achieve this with latest Magisk (v24+, https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk), enabled Zygisk and following modules:

- LSposed Zygisk (https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed, fork of Xposed)

- Universal SafetyNet Fix (https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix)

- Shamiko [optional, more hiding but needs configuration] (https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed.github.io)

* Unless you get an Evil Maid attack [0], like adding a physical keylogger to the keyboard bus.

If the device is decrypted but on lock screen (like with TPM) there are more options, the main one is reading memory via DMA [1] on an ExpressCard slot (eg the wifi card). Also swapping out the memory to do a cold boot attack [2] is possible.

Actually, attacks using Thunderbolt PCIe capabilities are too much realistic that it is no longer funny (and it is not just a security bug, its a real feature).

As long as it's the only place where I can have food, yes.

You can use this extension to change speed of all HTML5 videos: https://github.com/codebicycle/videospeed

I've been using this extension for long time and it has changed my relationship to video content. I still prefer text to skim through and read at my own pace, but having keyboard shortcuts for video that work across all pages changes the game.

Long talks no longer seem daunting because speeding up and rewinding becomes like a second nature. I use the speed step of 0.1x and rewind step of 3 seconds for fine control, the default values were too imprecise. Maybe I should start slowing down songs I enjoy?

False: it is possible with just CSS [1][2] to track screen resolution, browser engine, fonts, mouse movements and inputs.

Both those methods rely on the browser not prefetching certain resources, which they are absolutely allowed to prefetch.

So if a browser changes the prefetching algo, the method is immediately broken. (For example enabling network.predictor.enable-prefetch in Firefox).

It isn't an inherent weakness of CSS itself.

You want a linear function f(x) such that f(a)=A and f(b)=B given a, b, A, B. A valid f(x) (actually it's the only one) is defined as

             x-b     x-a
    f(x) = A --- + B ---
             a-b     b-a

You can calculate f(a) and f(b) to confirm that it works.

However, I don't find this kind of guide any good for learning math...

You could start sending fake results after they exceed the ~100 queries, they will probably stop exploiting it.

This is a good idea, actually -- make it impossible to distinguish a banned request from a succesful request. At least that could delay the discovery period, as would randomizing the request limit.

I've wondered if a web server or proxy in something like Erlang would be ideal there, where there is little server-side penalty in dragging requests out progressively longer.

With the lightweight processes, the cost per should be very, very low, and basically make it easier to Turing tarpit the scammers.

Yeah, "hellbanning" scammers is a good idea, instead of giving them a simple 401 code. Increasing the cost of their scam is the best mechanism.

A good AdBlocker (like uBlock Origin) is usually enough. Also the tracking protection of Firefox is not bad.
