Am I the only one who has to do like 12 of these in a row before my humanity is recognized? Beyond mildly inconvenient, it’s downright annoying now.
Edit: I use Mullvad + Firefox + Betterfox + uBO. I don’t think my setup is that sophisticated lmao
If you use ad blockers and/or vpn they will just gaslight you forever.
No. The point of recapatcha is to punish people protecting themselves. The system absolutely lies to you that you got a challenge incorrect.
After 2, I say “fuck it” and find a different option.
Works as long as it’s not your bank or something
Look, I know I probably have an account balance, and it’s probably positive… What else is there to know?
Just spend money freely, then they will be eager to contact you about your balance!
After I started using a VPN it’s way too annoying to try and pass it. I use the audio alternative when possible. If not I kinda just give up lol
I tried the audio once. I could hear less than half of the needed numbers. I don’t know how blind people are supposed to pass google captchas if the audio challenge is so garbled.
The last one I did seemed to be a snippet from a yt video. Maybe it’s better now
It’s because you are using a VPN. You always get a ton more captchas when using a VPN on some websites. Mainly because they don’t want you using one, so you can be tracked for ads.
Why not link to the original?
So it could bitch and moan about being over capacity and/or refuse to load the image for no discernable reason after I’m forcibly redirected to a useless web page after it detects I’m on a web browser.
Recaptcha is one of the worst providers of such services. At times, I need to complete like 10 for being one square off or whatever, while I need a single attempt for e.g. Arkose Labs stuff.
Sometimes, like in the picture (whether it’s real or not), the captcha is simply wrong and you can’t do it right but by accident. I already did not visit websites because I didn’t feel like giving it another try.
Try the audio captcha option, those usually have an actual answer it will accept. Which ironically speech to text is more or less reliably able to solve, and there are extensions to solve captchas automatically for you that way
are you using a datacentre IP?
I’ve found that when i have my VPN connected it will get me to do like dozens of them. if my VPN isn’t connected it is usually just 1 or 2.
Also when it’s in the cycle of prompting you for dozens of them, skip any like the one in the image above until you get one of the ones that has you select from multiple matching pictures. these seem to be the only ones that matter when it’s in that state.
Ceci n’est pas un signe
CAPTCHAs should be renamed Human Gaslighters
Ever wonder why these captchas are always cars, bicycles, motorcycles, traffic lights and crosswalks? Because YOU are doing the work of teaching the next generation of AI for self-driving cars.
It’s common courtesy to link to the xkcd you have the image from. It’s one of them.
I don’t believe it, at least not anymore.
Google has had more than enough data to train AI models from reCAPTCHA for many years. In 2010 it displayed 100 million captchas per day. You simply do not need hundreds of billions of solved captchas in your data set.
I feel like its only purpose nowadays is stopping basic bots and annoying people who don’t let themselves be tracked as much as advertisers would like.
There are four lights!
Baudrillard strikes again.
Pretty sure that’s not how captures work. You don’t fail them, you add to the training set. You’re against the masses as to whether they considered it a traffic light when they were shown it.
Have you never actually failed one of those image captchas before? Really?
There are three lights!
No, four!!!
