Interesting, my experience was in rural Georgia so could be regional?

I’d put money on it being the US.

I’m from the UK where chip and pin is required and contactless is nearly ubiquitous so when I was in the US recently I was baffled that a lot of places had me signing for things.

You could configure the DNS only on devices that don’t have issues with it rather than the network as a whole?

I suspect they might be talking about a DNS based ad blocking solution. Like Pi-Hole or AdGaurd DNS.

They work by blocking DNS requests made by ads so the content can never be accessed. They’re theoretically more powerful than browser extensions as they have the opportunity to block ads anywhere.

I realise that the overlap between Mastodon users and BBC Radio 3 listeners is likely me and me alone but I wish they’d add an account for it.

I suppose the reasoning behind it would be that 4 & 5 are the talk stations.

I’ve managed to create marijuana and bong after five minutes of messing with it. Perfect game.

Edit: I’m really narrowing in on this niche: Stoner + Couch = Pothead

It works fine for me in Fennec on Android

I was excited for 802.11ac (now Wifi 5) when it first launched and I adopted it early but I’ve never been sold on the need for Wifi 6 let alone 7 now.

Unlike other folk in this thread I do thankfully have a Gigabit class internet connection but I now own my own home and so have been able to do some very basic Ethernet runs which totally replaces WiFi for 90% of my usage. My Wireless AP just talks to my phone, Steam Deck and a couple smart home gubbins really.

I can confirm that Neko still works flawlessly for me. I only use Mangadex so have never really been interested in the wider Tachiyomi space.

All valid but OAMs and OBEs are exactly equivalent, both are the lowest honour and neither confer a title. Only much higher ranks from each honour system KBE/DBE or AK/AD make you a Knight/Dame

Brady Haran (numberphile etc.) was made an OAM, the Australian equivalent of an OBE, largely for his YouTube work. So it’s not impossible.

Don’t give Nintendo a free pass on that, it was years before they added support for Bluetooth audio
