    They’re really playing up the ominous tone.

    “We know this because your IP address — xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx — was the first thing your device sent us. We know the rest of it. We chose not to display it. Most pages would not have made that choice. We did not ask for your location. Your address arrived before you did.”

    Uh, yeah. That’s how IP addresses work.

      We sent a SYN-ACK packet and YOU acknowledged it, confirming you are not spoofing YOUR IP address. Now WE share the same sequence number. Most sites do not tell you this is happening.

      Language and dark mode setting are also funny. Yes, I literally want to share those preferences so you don’t serve me a blinding white website in hebrew. What a hacker you are.

      Compare this to Google’s homepage, which is clean, wholesome, friendly, and inviting.

      (I don’t mind sites that try to scare the user straight, but this one definitely has the unmistakable tinge of AI-generated wording. Make a sense if you click through the links at the bottom to see who created it.)

        It really looks ai-generated. It even contains mistakes like saying that my 5yo phone model with low resolution is a high end device. All the text is pretty “generic” and sloppy

          Tbh, a five year old phone can absolutely be high end. Mine is four years old and I absolutely consider it high end.

      I am pretty sure 90% of the people using the Internet don’t know what an IP address is.
