As someone who lives in Brooklyn and moved into a place where I was responsible for trash a couple weeks ago, it took ~1 week for someone to swipe my rolling trash bin, graffiti it, burn a couple holes and leave it a few blocks away.

It's fairly hard to uniquely fingerprint iOS devices, there aren't that many configuration options, most people use the stock browser etc.

Actually I suppose this may have changed since the introduction of safari extensions on ios? I haven't looked into this since that released

for 2. Yes to some degree, at least in terms of degraded functionality It's happened in the past with built in navigation systems where the manufacturer stops releasing updated dvds with new maps, and recently with the retiring of the 2G/edge cellular network - https://www.thedrive.com/tech/43187/how-the-3g-shutdown-in-2...

I'm not great at this but in general - Eyes exactly centered in the middle of the photo - Earlobes/ears are different, e.g. attached vs unattached lobe on either side - Boundaries of hair are confused/fuzzy
Be careful with mulberries, I had one in my last place (not sure if it was native), and it dropped 10lbs+ of incredibly soft berries, so effectively black dye into my back yard daily for several months a year

For vercel you can't just throw the images in your `public/` folder or equivalent? I'm almost positive I've done that. Doesn't work for user generated images ofc, though cloudflare has some sort of solution there

I suspect you'll have trouble convincing a forum of primarily engineers that a high frequency trader is more worthy of sympathy than an engineer. They're both pretty privileged jobs and HFT is not known for having tons of benefits to society
