Short answer: no. Tor is specifically designed to mask all network requests from the Tor browser. All the cafe can see is your connection to a Tor node.
If they were somehow detecting video based on traffic patterns ( how often packets are transmitted or received they'd have to sever the only connection they see and your whole Tor session would freeze or need to connect to a new bridge. I believe Tor even attempts to try to mask traffic patterns to disassociate guard node and exit node traffic.
Most likely invidious was having issues.
If you control the access point at home, see if you can put your devices on a separate VLAN. This should help isolate your devices from any infected devices. Otherwise using a hot spot will isolate you from infected devices.
get in the EFI (BIOS) and reduce shared RAM for graphics down to 1GB. this is entirely dependent on your EFI, I can't really tell you what to click on. If there's a search function in your EFI, search for "shared". Test if you can get away with less if you don't game.
To strip out the most graphical eyecandy press Win + R to open the Run dialog. Type sysdm.cpl and press enter. go to advanced tab. in "performance" section, click settings and select "Adjust for best performance" then apply, ok.
Run the Win 11 debloat script, that will also help immensely.
That's about as good as you're going to get unless you switch away from a toy operating system to Linux. (gottem)
Magnets use to affect the magnetic hard drives (spinning platter, HDD) that were inside computers. This was especially bad because it would erase data permanently. It was the main concern about magnet+computer that everyone was worried about. CRT monitors were affected by magnets, but the inbuilt degauss or a handheld degaussing coil would usually correct the issue.
If your device has solid state storage (basically everything nowadays) that concern went away. Any other issues (like affecting the compass or accelerometer in a phone) are only temporary.
I have never heard of a magnetic field damaging an LCD and a quick google search says that's a myth. Pressing on an LCD will damage it, so maybe a really strong magnet that was placed on an LCD that had ferrous metal behind it physically broke some LCDs and the myth was born, when really it was just pressure that broke the LCD.
Do you want it to be so complicated that no one you know in real life is able to use it for more than two weeks before they make some kind of mistake or change that deletes their entire message history and identity? Matrix
Do you want a slim chance that friends and family might use it, but you have to listen to privacy nutjobs tell you your app is a CIA NSA PsyOp and you might as well cc: potus(at)whitehouse(dot)gov all your messages, it's run by an american non-profit obviously it can't be trusted? Signal
it's been a hot minute since ive been on reddit, but iirc shadowbanned means "it appears I can interact, but in fact my posts and comments are silently being hidden from other users"
it looks like you're just straight up being banned.
I solemnly swear that even in 26.3.1 it is not reading my keypresses properly.
I used to type like a fiend but for several years the typing experience is degraded. Is is multitouch somehow trying to read something between my two thumbs?
Also that period key that appears when I'm in the URL bar but typing a search with spaces that are all suddenly dots and it thinks it's a malformed URL? OMG move it or kill it with fire.
The client is open source, so it doesn't matter what the server code is, you can see everything the client sends and therefore tell what possible data is being collected.
It's run by a non-profit so there's no shareholders to please.
Your messages and decryption key are not stored on their servers.
It's been independently audited.
They have publicly posted responses to user information requests where they only provide the account creation date and last access time.
The (admittedly incompetent) US government recommends using Signal (for non-classified information) and top officials have been caught using it (Houthi Working Group).
You can never be 100% sure, but it appears to have excellent security and privacy.
In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade - which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to ‘How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?’ is ‘Go fuck yourself,’ because you can’t directly relate any of those quantities.
I wouldn't do this. You're leaking important information that was specifically protected by proton to any app that asks for it and to google.

What about batting?

Depends on who is writing the history books
Reagan only won 50.7% of the popular vote. However because of the electoral college, he "won" the vast majority of states.
Read up on the Electoral College for details on how that works.

I just leave the bowl empty of water, then flush with a separate bucket I fill from the bathtub tap.
Sure, the bowl is covered in shit stains, but at least I don't have to experience Poseidon's Kiss.
become a great chef; start cooksmaxxing.
pretty sure youtube is going to win that lil bluff.

I think that lemmy just has a much lower number of users and it takes longer to get interactions.
