There’s a computer book publisher, Packt, that gives away a free ebook daily, but it has the firk-ding-blast captcha. HOWEVER, if you refresh the page and click the ‘get this book’ button, you can get it before the captcha loads and avoid that crap.
I do agree with you, but sometimes i click on the checkbox, and it accepts my “human-ness” without clicking on which squares have a traffic light or something like that.
Google developed the “Click this Box” in 2014 to replace CAPTCHAs. There’s a bunch of information used to make the decision after you check the box but it only works for desktops and not mobile uses.
Those things are for machine learning. Ever wonder why it’s always “car” or “traffic light” or “person” they want you to identify?
Basically, they’re trying to teach robots to identify things. Self-driving cars, I think. For that, they need a MASSIVE amount of photos, all labeled with whether or not they have, say, a car in them.
To do that, they just make captchas. Run a few photos past some actual people, get multiple answers as to whether or not something has cars in it, repeat forever. No need to hire someone to sort through a few million images.
It works fairly well as a form of anti-robot security, but that’s not actually because of the images. The Captcha thing doesn’t know which images contain cars, that’s the point. It wants you to tell it. It guesses whether or not you’re a robot based on how you select the squares and how you move to the various “accept” buttons. Also, “click some of these pictures” is a very complex task for the simple bots they’re trying to keep out.
I cannot sympathize with the premise, for I have never suffered from captcha in and of itself. (I’ve had a couple cases where the images didn’t load because of a shoddy connection, but captcha’s got a refresh option these days). But the alternatives you present are absolutely hilarious, so once again, you’ve successfully made me laugh despite my disagreement with your point. Kudos again, Adam!
Bluetooth Lollipop?
Dang it Lollipop is a version of the Android operating system.
There are Cameras, a variety of speakers and personal toys but nothing designed for oral use.
Maybe there is something in the medical diagnostic area but I can’t find one.
Maybe someone can design and build something based on ones mandibular configuration?
I hate those Captcha’s w/ the photographs that require you to pick every one w/ a car or sign but the pictures are so small you need a magnifying glass to see things.
It’s like: “Do you not want anyone to actually visit your website?” More than once I’ve shrugged and turned to others who provided the same service but weren’t as irritating.
I’m so tired of doing Captchas that I’ve seriously considered finding or making something to do them for me. Then I realized that I was part of the problem. Still, I’m absolutely tired with arguing with the Captcha software about what does and doesn’t constitute as a crosswalk.
honestly…I FULLY AGREE WITH YOU.
because of those …crap…there is some website I can’t even access anymore…

Wouldn’t licking the wi-fi lollipop give you a blue tooth?

the ironic thing is that image reconigntion has gotten to the point that they are better at beating captcas then like 95+% of the population.
(BTW: this is a real issue in CS, we are running out of ways to (easily) distinguish humans from robots electronically.)

You have yet to prove to me that you are not a robot. Eat the wifi jolly rancher.
