Fine. Why would it? The device has a unique hardware ID that's even easier/better for identifying the device. MAC addresses are randomized, and there's at least 3 of them in any modern phone. Seems overly complicated and ineffective.

previous self-immolators have been thoroughly ignored

Arguably a self imolator ended the war in Vietnam. He absolutely got the ball rolling.

I created an account on a hosted service we use at work the other day, my password had to be exactly 12 characters. No more no less.

I'm not saying they can't track you. I'm saying the person who told you that they're not doing it by MAC was right, and your reply was not only wrong but painfully self righteous for a guy who doesn't know what he's talking about about.

Also, changing your IP, clearing cookies, and installing a plugin that obfusticates your browser fingerprint ought to be enough. The second two are essentially what you did by blowing out your OS.

Still annoying but an improvement

Sure, and all of that goes out the window on a mobile app that doesn't play by browser rules.

This has nothing to do with browser rules. It's how tcp/ip works.

And 96% of reddit is on mobile

And 100% of phones have a unique hardware ID visable to any app with the "read phone state" permission. Why the hell would anyone use a MAC address to identify you? And which MAC address would they use? The wifi nic? The mobile nic? The Bluetooth MAC?

Idk about iPhones but MAC addresses on android are randomized by default. Maybe learn even the tiniest bit about what you're talking about before you go calling people naive.

That's not naivety it's a basic understanding of how networking works

And fewer people quoting entire Simpsons episodes at each other line by line

Probably not much, her hand is on her thigh. Though I guess it's possible that a goddess has articulated hair. If you zoom in on this chess piece her finger is clearly extended and going between her legs

Sometimes I see a nude depiction and wonder to myself if it's artsy or pornographic. In this case she's fingering herself, so that answers that question

Also, we are raising your rates. And your delivery fee.

You're acting like popular vote matters. What you're saying only applies in like 3-5 states. I live in Connecticut. Bidens going to win Connecticut. It's not going to be a significant help to him, because our puny electoral votes are never ever ever ever ever going to decide an election. It does not matter who I vote for in the presidential race. Lots of people are in the same boat as me, probably most of the country. I suggest you save your shit for Floridians and Ohioans.
