Indeed.

Be aware you internet service provider can reveal your location.

See https://dnsleaktest.com/

For how accurate it can get.

VPNs or Tor can remedy the issue

Mine seems to think I'm in a city I'm not in, so I'll investigate that further

That's probably the location of your cell tower, or the site of your ISP.

I don't fancy the idea of driving a week for a handshake. Planes are so much faster.

That link is scary oh my goodness.

What's scarier is that every website has access to that information, most just don't tell you.

For example you can see this on the shard

Account Settings > Recently Used Devices

So be careful about clicking links you don't trust, someone could be trying to get your IP address or real location.

It's you Internet service provider, not the laptop that shares the information, and it is necessary to access the internet, so it isn't something you can decide to turn off.

That happens to be how DNS works, yes.

VPNs are cool and useful. I do recommend their usage

Indeed, but most people don't even know what DNS is, let alone how it works.

Chromebook or windows?

Oh I remember the days when I had a chromebook *shudders*

Most ppl have a VPN that gives them access to ChatGPT but my parents made me delete mine.

Ah, that makes things difficult. You probably don't have more than 4GB of RAM, which places limits on what you can do to get around any restrictions they have

Well, I encourage you to listen to your parents, though limiting gaming websites in particular seems odd to me.

Well they let me play video games for 20 minutes every two days, so I still can.

That’s… restrictive. Exceptionally so.

Posted

Yeah...I know

I wish I could have more time

My little sisters do too.
And they each get 20 minutes every two days (well my littlest sister only gets 10 actually)

But we're not allowed to watch each other (too much screen time) so we're basically banished from the main room during that time.

That feels quite excessive.

 

I asked this in an SU, but I barely got any responses.

You are forced to give up your hands, your wrists will now end in fleashy stubs. In exchage you will recieve any magic system of your choice. The only restriction is you can't use the magic to get your hands back.

What system do you pick?

I like my hands. I’ll pass

But otherwise I’d take the dnd 5e spell list. I can get mage hand as it’s technically not “my” hand. Alternatively I could go with the Aethers from Aether of of night, get the Bestarin and graft the hand of a monkey or someone else(something similar to mine) and get hands, although they’re still not “my hands” and so it gets around the restriction

Allomancy. I can just Push or Pull things. (although in general I prefer Feruchemy)
