Summary
Reminder: Using a Raspberry Pi connected to an ADS-B receiver in China and transmitting data to overseas platforms may violate the Counter-Espionage Law and the Data Security Law. There have already been cases where individuals were summoned by the National Security Agency for investigation.

It is not recommended to play with this in China. If you profit from it, you could face imprisonment, as it may violate the Anti-Espionage Law and the Data Security Law.
I personally know two stubborn friends who connected their Raspberry Pi to an ADS-B receiver and transmitted data over their home broadband public IP to FlightAware. Within less than two months, they were summoned by the National Security for a “tea chat”. The reason is that China Telecom deploys DPI identification on home broadband, even though these overseas platforms anonymize uploaders from Chinese IPs.
Therefore, real-time transmission and uploading of ADS-B data to overseas platforms (such as Flightradar24, FlightAware, etc.) is illegal. Domestically, there are no laws or regulations prohibiting private installation or reception of ADS-B signals. Uploading to platforms like VariFlight (Feichangzhun) is still in a gray area, and you may also be taken in for a “tea chat”.

@TaoRay: I feel the chances of Chinese people being able to use the newly released foreign version of Apple Intelligence are getting lower. Apple has been upgrading its 'Great Firewall' technology. In China, even with a foreign device, foreign Apple ID, and foreign phone number, you still can't use Apple News. The latest update completely revamped the geo-identification technology, even by identifying the country code of the Wi-Fi router you're connected to...
Apple continuously upgrades its geo-identification technology to prevent Chinese users from accessing foreign versions of Apple Intelligence and Apple News, even strengthening the blockade by identifying the country code of the connected WiFi router.

It was discovered that the 'Limit IP Address Tracking' setting in iPhone's cellular network causes mihomo configuration to fail to use Apple Intelligence properly, because this setting has higher priority than the proxy tool, sending unencrypted DNS requests and other traffic directly to Apple servers, thereby exposing the Chinese IP and being denied service.
@NFTCPS: You have no idea how many unknown devices are secretly using your WiFi. Pi.Alert is an open-source tool that does one thing: monitors your WiFi and LAN, tracking who connects, disconnects, or secretly changes IP. It uses three methods to scan the network: arp-scan direct sniffing …

@xiangxiang103: Wow, Anthropic really dropped the ball this time. Someone dug up hidden code in the Claude Code binary — specifically designed to detect whether you're a Chinese user or routing through China. Not ordinary telemetry, but deliberately obfuscated, not mentioned in release notes, and completely unknown to users. The process goes like this: - Detects you...
Hidden code was discovered in the Claude Code binary that specifically detects Chinese users or proxy routes, and secretly modifies system prompts to add watermarks, sparking widespread concerns about trust in developer tools.
@Saccc_c: Saw an interesting post on L站 about completely blocking CC Chinese users: "You can do triangulation by testing the network latency from the current machine to the US, Japan, and Southeast Asia, etc. This way, unless you run Claude directly on a US VPS, any disguise methods will be completely useless — after all, the speed of light cannot be faked." Indeed, if the test shows...
