And then some kid buys a used raspberry pi or wipes an old computer and circumvents it all anyway.

VPNs are next.

People circumventing the OSA.
THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
VPNs banned

Google has a "search tools" drop down menu (on mobile it's at the end of the list of images/shopping/news etc).
It's default set to "all results". I believe changing it to "verbatim" is closer to the older (some would say "dumber", I would say "more predictable") behaviour

The cupcake was a great touch.
Like, here is the dude that is evil. But he's also normal. He's had a good day/week as far as he is concerned, and as a celebration & reward: gets himself a fancy sweet treat.
It's not some data tablet, or star wars specific thing. It's a cupcake. And a super fancy one that comes in a nice box. It's really relatable.

Am I right in saying the whole idea of the stream was to show that Starlink can support gaming?
And he'd rather blame the product/service he owns and is trying to promote, than laugh about dying in a fucking video game

There is so much free good-pr on the table at the moment.

Geocities animated gif style "under construction", no less

Excel is great.
It does so much that people make it do what it shouldn't, and never think to explore technologies beyond it... Like a proper fucking database.
Then you get garbage business systems based on fragile excel sheets with bonkers macros and weird ETL pipelines to sync things.
And never try to deal with dates and timezones.

We tried that. It's called Australia. They are a sovereign state now, and I'm pretty sure they are cooler than us.
So...

Most multinational web apps will have different deployments for different countries.
Locating the servers geographically closer to the users reduces latencies and costs.
Running different deployments allow them to tailor more closely to local regulations, without having it impact everyone else

WiFi has literally gone the opposite of USB.
It used to be obvious what USB speeds were, whereas WiFi was 802.11b or whatever.
Now we have WiFi 5 or WiFi 6. And we have USB-C PD 10gbps with AltMode

Newsthump is a satire site.
I think this is a parody on The Onions classic "'No way to prevent this' says only country where this regularly happens" article they release after mass shootings in the US.
