    If you’re not sure, you can’t.

    It’s a bad idea to use a guide on how to break the law. Specific identifying steps may be included in the guide and could be used for correlating action with intent when you get taken in.

    It’s a bad idea to use a guide to build something whose intent is to break the law. How do you safely test it? Safely includes legally!

    It’s a bad idea to use a guide to build something you plan to rely on. How do you know you used a guide that takes your use case into account?

    Consider not doing what you’re asking about.

    Consider not fedposting.













  • Oh that’s an easy one.

    When you’re ready, yank all the screws, run a guitar pick around the outside edge (there’s a ifixit article) and disconnect the battery.

    You have to disconnect the battery. Put a piece of tape in between the contacts on the board and the battery cable so they can’t come back together.

    Locate the wireless card. It’ll have some little wires going to it, those are the antenna wires. It’ll have a screw holding it down, take out the screw and see if the card pops up for future reference. Wiggle it gently back and forth while gently pulling it away from its black connector on the opposite end as the screw.

    Once it’s free, insert it back the same way it came out and put the screw back in. Make sure not to cross thread the screw by “backing” it up (turning it lefty-loosey) until it “drops” into place.

    Remove the tape and reconnect the battery cable. Put the back panel back on and all the screws in.

    See if that fixes your problem. If not you can repeat this process but pop out the antenna wires and replace your mediatek with an Intel 210. It was an option on your model so I know it works.


  • Well you missed the holiday deals but mullvad, air (if you’re not Italian), windscribe and of course proton are the usual suspects.

    Air, windscribe if you’re paying for it and proton if you’re paying for it are the ones with port forwarding.

    Mullvad takes cash and doesn’t store user accounts.

    E: what are you trying to accomplish? A person trying to dodge their employers spying is different than one who just wants to access banned pornography sites is different than one who wants to avoid run of the mill government scrutiny is different than one who is under active investigation etc.
