RMSMajestic Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 The first is a small bug When I tried to register, and verification seems to be required for all users with China IP. I think the security verification is based on some google verification. And google is blocked in China. While this site itself is not blocked, the inability to go through the security verification made it impossible for Chinese users to register without bypassing the Wall. Second is a suggestion: Maybe we should also add sub-forums for older cell phones/ mobile phones? There's probably a big overlap between laptop DIYers and phone DIYers, (e.g. I'm also a old sony ericsson lover) And as we all know, it may have not been a very good time for DIYers these days as lots of the forums are closed. Maybe also for the SFF PCs. I don't know how much it costs for data/storage right now but I'd be happy to offer my solution. (~$3.5 per month for 1TB broadband and almost unlimited amount of storage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMSMajestic Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 Also, sony/vaio subforum, think vaio is still making laptops that no one buys? Maybe OpenWrt/iKuai subforum etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reciever Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Let me do some homework on this and see what's what. As for the other items, if we have enough traffic to generate a sub-forum for them we can easily do that, but until then we can use the existing categories Telegram / TS3 / Twitter 2700X to 5800X3D upgrade!

Ishayin Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 reCAPTCHA (as you might expect for anything Google related) is a privacy nightmare. There are plenty of alternatives with a few mentioned here: https://nearcyan.com/you-probably-dont-need-recaptcha/ Or, maybe there is a way to avoid captchas altogether with a different approach like honeypots: https://solutionfactor.net/blog/2014/02/01/honeypot-technique-fast-easy-spam-prevention/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are filtered out well enough through various means so that they dont overload the site. Seeing as how you dont see many of them, seems like its working :) 1 Telegram / TS3 / Twitter 2700X to 5800X3D upgrade! With a 10850K cameo!
