are there any blatantly dumb/fake advertisements you once

I can't remember the name, but I also didn't fall for it.

There was some shit passing around here pretty much as a meme, of some kid or something who was some "masterful programmer" and the 5 software pieces they wanted to sell were practically impossible.

Some kind of crazy compression or encryption shit I think....

DACs for headphones.

I preordered Bleem! back in the day. Never got anything other than shitty betas that crashed to desktop even on the games they reported as being most compatible.

Not sure if it was connected but for whatever reason I decided to go for those free mouse pointers.

They lost their novelty reafl quick, but I don't know what I lost.

The virus or whatever it was made some kind of fake warning that covered my desktop, I thought it had replaced my background but it was actually a little window of it's own, but hard to find. I don't know.

in my teens I saw an ad for pills that would make my dick bigger and I ordered them.

Pfsense can literally do this. But it will break with SSL. You could try load balancing+GRE tunnel to a VPS. Maybe it could work.

In production people just use BGP.

Registry Cleaner..... paid $40 for it. I think it might have been RegCure or something but anyways I never received the key for activation, and they wouldn't refund or send another one.

Ended up learning that cleaning the registry is redundant and the best speed boost for an old PC is format and reinstall.
