You good sir underestimate the stupidity of courts

So what do you propose? Just not using a VPN? If you're that worried you can run a second public VPN on top of your private one. The point of the private one is to avoid ISPs outright blocking known major providers.
C++, ew, no thanks, also where is C??
If a company I have a paid account with asked me to verify my age they'd lose my subscription so fast their head would spin. Ultimately I'm just one person but if enough people feel the same way it could be a deterrent but in the grand scheme of things there probably aren't enough of us
As apex32 pointed out, it isn't about logging, it's about your ISP either ratting you out or outright blocking the domains and IP blocks of major providers and that's why I said you can setup your own. Ofc even hosting one yourself your ISP can probably still determine you're using a VPN through traffic analysis even if you're using TCP 443 to blend in but it makes it harder.
I do wonder how they're going to even try to enforce this. VPNs aren't exactly blockable without a great firewall type apparatus. If they block major providers then you can just setup your own, and if they block VPN protocols outright then it ranges from ineffective to outright destroying the internet. I just don't really get how this is going to work practically. Which is good... hopefully it doesn't pass though.
Software development and gaming are the 2 main things I do with my computer. The more compute you have the faster your software compiles so you can iterate faster, and then games need no explanation.
8 phone cores are not 8 laptop cores which are not 8 desktop cores but if it meets your use case that's cool. I need more compute then that myself
Powerful yes, powerful enough to replace a PC, I suppose only if you don't do that much heavy compute
Graphene scoped contacts would probably fix this
That makes more sense and is...even worse tbh because that's actually enforceable and so obvious I don't know how I missed it. That would also probably impact Tor since those IPs are already heavily reputation damaged. The stuff governments have been pulling recently is just insane
