The governor of a state that legaly identifies about 21 different genders and wants, supports and has minimum wage laws that force McDonald's to put in automatic, touch screen "bots" to order because they can no longer afford HS kids to learn how to work has issued an ORDER to dis-allow a "bot" that he doesn't like.
Yep ... THAT'S why we have the electoral college.

Yes.
My wife used to work for an on-line scalper.
They sent here a USB dongle that helped when skimming screens while buying tickets on-line.

Dirt cheap to pivot bot use to “Amazon Turks”. Same results. Legal under NY’s new stupid law.

Ticket buying via Ticketmaster has to be the greatest scam going. If a ticket is $100 then the actual price including fees is nearer to $140. And there’s no way around this price. If you want to go to a concert where Ticketmaster exists, you’re paying the fees.

The problem isn’t the bots. The problem is the with the ticket-selling outfits, like Ticketmaster and Livenation, being complicit with the so-called scalpers. Many suspect that in fact those outfits are “scalping” tickets at way above the face value themselves. They could surely come up with ways to stop ticket bots if they really wanted to - I suspect they aren’t that motivated.

Just go back to selling tickets at the door. First come, first served.
