The best part is there are hand writing generating programs or even web pages that convert text to gcode allowing you to use a 3d printer to write things out. In theory it should be really hard to pass it off as being human written, let alone match your own writing, but I'm sure it will only get better. I think there are even models to try to match someone's writing.
Two more pictures of the original and copy(s).
I was playing with my POP2 3D scanner, scanned this toy fish of my kid's and 3D printed the resulting scan. I had to manually draw the spots on it, but really happy with how it turned out. Pictures don't do it justice just how exactly the same they are in hand. Not all of the textures came through though.
Here are some screenshots of scans. The head is my scan of the included sample part, and the 1 2 3 block is a machinist tool that is exactly 1 x 2 x 3 inches. I 3D printed it, and with calipers it checked about .010" off per 1", or roughly 1% "small". That is with zero CAD work or scaling.
It is my opinion that it should be legal to paint said stripes on someone's car if they park over the line. Should really hammer just how much of an asshole someone is if they have multitudes of stripes.
I just recently got a Revopoint Pop 2, and I've been thoroughly impressed by it. I feel anyone looking at 3D scanners needs to keep expectations in check (they are not magic), and it takes work to get good scans, but personally I think it's well worth looking at Revoscan. For hand size and up, the Pop 2 or Pop 3 are great size. The mini is for very small objects, and I'm not sure of the Range can do that small (but it looks SIGNIFICANTLY better for larger objects). I've only had it for a week, but do you have any questions on it?
Also, check their ebay store. I got the Pop 2 openbox that way directly from Revopoint, and it was only $350 for the base, or $400 for the complete kit with turntable, battery bank, and case. The turntable alone is DEFINITELY worth the extra $50.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
I thought a hacked 3DS couldn't play original NDS games without one of those ROM cards for the original DS. Can you run original DS games without it now?

With that being said, as others have said, a DNS is like a phone book. By using PiHole with it going to a privacy respecting DNS service, you in theory eliminate being tracked by a DNS provider, but you do nothing to prevent your isp from tracking which ip addresses you access, and you do nothing to prevent search engines tracking which results you click on, you do nothing to prevent your web browser from tracking your browsing (especially on Chrome and Edge).
In summary:
DNS lookups: yes
ISP with IP addresses: no you would need a GOOD VPN or TOR and either one properly configured
Web browser: no, you need at least Firefox with data collection turned off, preferably with something like ublock installed.
Search engine: no, requires more research but supposedly duckduckgo and eccosia are privacy respecting *citation required
That is either a brilliant troll, or an hilarious catch by user Sara7061.
It's possible, but I don't know for sure. I refuse to run Chrome because we don't need another browser monopoly to stifle innovation.
The Internet Explorer era was terrible, and we STILL have broken things that only support a now dead browser. So many things went all in on proprietary Microsoft standards for Internet Explorer, and now you cannot use them. Most older camera DVRs and stand alone ip cameras fall into that category.
Another example: I can't say which company, but a very large company you've almost definitely heard of, required that all of their vendors buy all raw material from their subsidiary, but you had to use a site that not only was Internet Explorer only, but an extremely out of date Internet Explorer only. basically you had to have an xp machine up to a couple years after xp was no longer supported, to order several thousands of dollars of raw material.
All it would take for this to happen again is for Google to release a new API or "feature" that legally or technically a browser like Firefox cannot implement. Then if they decide they don't like that standard or Google actually miraculously gets broken up for being a monopoly/anti competitive everything that uses it will again no longer be usable.
It is a self inflicted wound basically. Google killed support for how those ad blockers work.

No, but if I were still in school I would be extremely tempted to have it write out an essay instead of writing out pages. The only thing that kills it would be it obviously would not match my handwriting.
