  There are multiple ways of doing this and I’m not sure which methods tik tok is using.

  • ip address there’s a group called IANA that issues blocks of IP addresses to ISPs and there a companies like Maxmind that package that info. apps can create rules block requests based on that info that block requests coming from a specific location or return an error to the user

  • removing from the app store Companies can ask app stores to no longer offer downloads in a specific region and as the app updates it will become more busted over time

  • user information Based info provided by the user directly during sign up or from the social login a user used to sign up with tik tok

  Until recently fast food was faster and cheaper than sit down joints and it’s easier to eat while you drive. Since it’s only been recent that is gotten slower and more expensive people still reach for it when they want quick calories.

  Android can be configured to require a pin after a reboot which is an ok compromise if you want to invoke the fifth amendment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is DNS often joked about in the I.T. Industry?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When it is the cause of a problem it’s not always obvious at first so you spend hours troubleshooting the broken app until you look at DNS and a simple DNS issue

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it possible to start a business if you have no money and skills, but have an idea?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  A common pattern is partner with someone with three required skills and you do all the admin work. The option is to learn those skills yourself. Be careful not to be an idea guy. Actually work and gain some skills to provide value

  I try to avoid to it but no job will be perfect. You could life style creep and that nice salary turns into handcuffs and you might have issues going back to making less at a more ethical company
