It can be used by AI age verification tools on a bunch of websites. So yes I guess that is fraud. But these tools claim not to store the data in the verification process. If somebody could prove a made up ID was used then I suspect they’re in bigger shit for a GDPR leak.

It’s not just remote work. All our manufacturing sites use to VPN connections data centres. It would cripple manufacturing on an epic scale if they were instabanned.

If they ban VPN’s that’s going to hit corporations harder than the average person.

I know this is a bit different. I’m in the UK and there’s a few sites I use which can’t implement the age verification due to being a small team so they’ve straight up banned all UK traffic.

VPN to another EU location seems to work. I’m actually surprised it was that easy. It also works on a bunch of sites I wish not to have an account. Not all, but most.

The politicians who passed this are either clueless morons or are using this to push some other agenda (no idea what).

This should be the test all millionaires and billionaires have to take yearly. If they fail, they are no longer fit to own or lead a business.

I was so excited when this game was released as I was a massive fan of Total Annihilation.

I enjoy posts like this where Americans get hooked into the legalities of what guns can be bought, the ammo, whether it’s permitted in some states, etc.

It’s a movie about a robot from the future which time travelled. And people are questioning the legalities of buying guns in the 80’s.

I’ve never seen that before. That’s a good feature.

You have a very long phone

I got exactly the same. Firefox on android and in the UK. Perhaps it’s regional.

I just searched the same words and got the same text.

Stainless steel has been around only 110 years. Imagine not having it. Crazy.

It’s also the ease of it. I travelled to Indonesia a while back thinking I could pick up a SIM card once there. I didn’t realise you have to register the phone itself for tax reasons (?) to white list the IMEI of the phone before buying a SIM card. It was loads easier just to buy a roaming eSIM after I arrived. In hind sight I probably could have got a better package had I shopped before hand but it got me out of a tricky situation.

I’ve been upset for about 10 years or so. I used to use the Love Film service where I got two Blu-ray at a time posted to me. The company was bought my Amazon. Ok, don’t like Amazon but that’s fine, I like the service still. They then incorporate it into their Prime package. I didn’t want anything else, just discs by post. To retain the disc service it cost more than just prime as prime was a requirement. They sneaked Prime onto my account without me realising and the price went up. They were phasing people from discs to online by making it the cheaper option. They then phased the disc service out altogether.

They literally bought Love Film to shut it down.

I’m was happy renting blurays. I switched to buying Blu-ray for a while but I have no where to keep a collection. So I have up and switched to Kodi.

Quite sad really. I still have what were then two good quality Blu-ray players now collecting dust. I sometimes look at them and think one day…

Perhaps the worms represent the average person, the sticks represent the media and the hands are those of politicians.

They’re not. They’re CIA robots.

Sea Gulls don’t have hands and can’t use sticks like that.

Sea Gulls do this but with their feet and not sticks. The worms think it’s raining from the sound and come up to the surface to get eaten.
