Productivity isn’t where most businesses are going to strike pay dirt. They’re going to get their value in processing information and in prototyping ideas/products/solutions before actually physically making them.
So the article may be absolutely true and completely missing the point.


Yeah… I think the link is still sanitized and not what everyone else was seeing…


There’s the ticket… thank you!


That is all that I’m finding, too… I wonder if they already ‘fixed’ it.


I wonder if they already did… my account has no such link.

In this case they even had a completely different install of Windows. There is simply no way at all that the fingerprint should match. If it did match, then their implementation sucks. Fuck them if they made it that bad intentionally. Better to have to catch and ban the same person 10 times than ban an innocent person even once.
Their fingerprinting is flawed if this story is true. If I take someone else’s CPU and drop it into what is otherwise different hardware then the fingerprint should absolutely change. If it doesn’t then their fingerprinting is broken and this is going to happen whether any particular CPU has been banned or not.
It seems far more plausible that someone got themselves banned and they’re lying to try to get out of it.
If they are banning on a single piece of hardware such as a single CPU, then they are morons.
Sounds like FUD… I want to see it confirmed by someone reputable with an explanation before believing it.
Technically, you’re not going to get spied on - intentionally or unintentionally - if you don’t have these.
(Well… at least not by these…)
