'No Stupid Questions' (NSQ) Internet & Technology Edition

[We're All Going To Hell 2]

Hey, I really need some help here and yall are the smartest mother fuckers I know.

at first I thought my wifi was hacked but we got our router patched and fixed up. Nope. Someone is able to see all of my devices. They got through my Gmail. VPN blocked me and everything.
I have done everything damn possible. New phone. Police reports.
It has escalated now into full blown physical stalking.

I can't use my devices anywhere. I am well have been working hard to recover from agoraphobia and now boom.

These assholes live in my apartment complex.

If anything else.

How can I exact sweet sweet technological revenge

Have you changed every single password you can find? That's a pretty important step in the process. If you've already done that, ignore this, I'm just trying to cover a thing you didn't mention.
If you can't wrestle back control over the actual accounts, switching devices won't do shit. In the worst case scenario (you can't get control over the passwords and complete chain of account recovery methods,) you might have to replace all of your accounts and start over. Also, consider using a password manager. They can remember much longer and much more unique passwords than you can.

Note: I think trying to take "technological revenge" is both infeasible for you to carry out and a very bad idea.

Yes but because they can see everything in real time even as I am typing this it doesn't matter. I'm at a loss here.
I truly don't know what to do.

Mics are off cams are off and covered with tape. They just keep infiltrating with more and more shit.

When I went the VPN route to hide for an hour or two they blocked it somehow. They have some sort of generic Stryker type device. It's gang stalking at this point.

How do I get around this for some sort of fucking privacy. I just want my God damn privacy back.
From what I've read from other victims the police haven't been any help to them either until they have been physically hurt.

They will move whatever they are using to save my info whenever they feel like they are going to get caught in either a furniture truck or a uhaul so they can just call me a liar.

Getting new devices should have fixed that.

They have some sort of generic Stryker type device.

No clue what that is and cursory search reveals mostly irrelevant shit.

Also, how do you even know that they're tracking you? Who are "they"?

I got the new phone before I realized everything about my emails and passwords. I then started logging into my security settings and would see other devices logged in as well. I went as far as disabling gmail on my devices.

They are the people who live upstairs and their neighbors who live to their right and left side.

They are loud af. The way our apt complex is set up you can hear everything in the breezeway. If someone is talking in the center of the parking lot it echos.
These people especially the women talk loud af.
When they followed me to Walmart and then the library one of the men threw a fucking fit because I took a photo of his truck.
Now they try to communicate through whistling.

They even have my kindle which has its completely separate IOS than android or iPhone.
I have 3 fucking phones at this point. 2 wifi only and one with a telephone number. And a 4th to only call my dad. Like dad only. No email no apps. Nothing on it. Everything disabled except the ability to call him.

I went to my friends bar one night and we caught one of the people following me. An off duty was there but it was out of his jurisdiction. He also saw another one circling the venue over and over.

They can watch my devices from several yards away.

One of the behaviors redditors are shit on for is checking somebody's post history, but is that necessarily a bad thing?

One of the behaviors redditors are shit on for is checking somebody's post history, but is that necessarily a bad thing?

I think it depends on if it actually matters (especially w.r.t. people reading) or if it's just part of fallacious arguments. Saying "I checked your post history and you said <irrelevant thing I don't like> so your argument is invalid" is extremely gay and reddited but "I checked this guy's post history and he's a dedicated troll account" is actually useful for other readers. I'd say that would be a good general guideline?

Note: The "Disruptive Guest" profile badge (also known as the pink triangle) is actually made for shit like that second case.

are you paranoid / shizophrenic or something? you should be able to see who's on your router and kick them off the connection. Also use 2FA and a long ass generated password with the keepassXC manager on every account you have if you're that clumsy with your OpSec / Online / Account Security.

a tool for tracking network shit is wireshark. use that tool to maybe gain information who is using your internet and where the data is going, to eport it to the police.

At this point I wish I were schizo. No. We had someone in security find people and kick them off our router. We have their isp and mac addresses. He then monitored and found them attempt to break in and dos attacks on us.

I finally ended up going out of town.
Vpn with proxy works now.
Haven't had to kick anyone out of my new throw away email address.

Apparently I'm not the first person these people have bullied out of this apartment complex

Edit* I am not tech savvy at all. Everyone has had to explain everything to me like a 5yo. I mean I didn't even understand before this it was possible to screen share without intranet connection or hdmi

The only way any of this is possible is if they installed a keylogger on your computer, and the only way that's possible is if you either have an insanely old computer or if you have a tendency to just click "ok" any time anything pops up on your screen without reading it.

My advice would be to get rid of your Windows 98 machine and get a nice Mac Mini with as many guard rails active as possible. Then (and only then) change every password you've ever made.

This is, of course, assuming that everything you've said here is accurate. How do you know they can see everything you do in real time?

Hey hey people. I've got a question that I hope you can help me out with. On penning a thread on some nut job who sold himself as a techno wiz. A lot of what he lists is corporate jargon but there are a handful of things that he lists that are actually tech relevant. My question is would these be things you would use to promote yourself, or are they just humdrum, day to day kind of things, or is this stuff you would be embarrassed to gloat about if you were an actual professional?

The things that jump out to me are his claims in the AI Game Studio section

— Learned GPT3 prompt programming, infrastructure and technical foundations of Large Language Models (LLMs)
— Developed high-level understanding of trade offs of using LLMs for a wide variety of functional use cases
— Gained understanding of the power and potential danger of advanced artificial intelligence and a passion to help harness it for good

and this bit for the Awesome Rocketship section

— Designed and constructed motion control and haptic system for immersive VR pods.
— Developed Unity C# plugin to control 3DOF motion system and air effects synchronized with VR content.
— Built next generation cockpit simulator for major defense contractor with Unity, Oculus and Hololens.

[Megaton Punch]

The things that jump out to me are his claims in the AI Game Studio section

Let me translate those for you:

— Learned GPT3 prompt programming, infrastructure and technical foundations of Large Language Models (LLMs)

"I've tried ChatGPT"

— Developed high-level understanding of trade offs of using LLMs for a wide variety of functional use cases

"I read an article on Medium"

— Gained understanding of the power and potential danger of advanced artificial intelligence and a passion to help harness it for good

"I participated in a Reddit thread about how AI is just like Terminator"

and this bit for the Awesome Rocketship section

This part contains things that actually might mean something, but they could also mean nothing. "Designed and constructed motion control and haptic system for immersive VR pods" could mean anything from "assembled a kit" to "spearheaded a new model of VR screen".

Given his obvious bloviating earlier I'd be suspicious of any big claims like this. People who do actually cool stuff don't need to make shit up. But it's possible he's just one of those people who thinks padding his resume as much as possible is a good idea no matter how much he's accomplished. This is extremely common in India. I swear you could get a resume from an Indian billionaire tech CEO and it'll include a section on how good he is at sending email.

My first move would be to find out exactly what these systems and plugins are, see if they're bullshit or not, and see how much he actually contributed. It seems like he's done a lot of neat stuff, but most of it was a long time ago. Maybe he's just stuck in that 90s Corporate-Speak mindset. Maybe he hasn't grown his skills in any meaningful way in 20 years. Hard to tell.

It's easy to make lame shit sound cool if you use the right language. Right now I'm consulting with global users to assess the veracity of multimodal tech projects. Give me money.

 

[Ralph Barnhardt]

TY for your help @Megaton Punch. I was pretty sure he was blowing smoke up everyone's ass.

"I participated in a Reddit thread about how AI is just like Terminator"

lol sorry about that. I knew that line about harnessing AI for good was bullshit but wasn't paying attention when I copied everything.

I hate to ask this but what is a recommended laptop that fits the bill between being decent at productivity (without the problems of other productivity laptops) and decent in gaming (but not super tryhard like the Predator gaming laptops). My Acer Aspire 5 is already at its last legs.

Question Tax: My OBS and Graphics Card (nvidia gtx 1660 super) arent getting along very well, so it drops my internet connection at random, i tried 4350 bitrate but it still committs sudoku from time to time. do you guys have any other solution for livestreaming?

(if this is relevant, i use a rtmp-plugin to stream on 7 destinations at once and use axelchat to link the chats together. it's like restream.io but for free.)
