where is exactly all the data stored currently?

Hopefully in the EU, as the EU-US DPF is garbage and should be repealed just like the previous “Privacy Shield” attempts.

Security-wise, yeah? IIRC Microsoft is very nonchalant with checking that there’s nothing malicious in the plugins on their marketplace.

It’s not red, so it’s not a dangerous button.

Aha, okay, much clearer what you meant now. Yeah, they surely get a kickback for each new subscription.

Why are you buying a phone plan if you’re not using the mobile network?

You understand that SIM cards aren’t actually active until they’re connected to the network for the first time, right?

Hmm, that’s maybe also why American toilets get clogged all the time if they release the water so slowly? Mine empties the entire tank and stops filling the bowl after like a second or two, regardless if it got blocked or not. I can’t even reach any kind of “stopper” in the tank without opening the entire thing

Executions don’t give justice. The best we can hope for is Club Fed.

Cloudflare doesn’t really have a straightforward way as an end-user to see detailed information about their blocks and such. But I’d recommend checking your IP on Project Honeypot, CF utilizes such lists for some of their WAF stuff.

Long story short: The test worked. We found out what that system was used for. Rather quickly.

But what was it used for?!?!? What a cliffhanger.

It’s maybe some kind of circular logic, but my brain doesn’t recognize a picture of Satya Nadella = “Microsoft’s CEO” for some reason.

they don’t allow VPNs

Most likely to reduce the risk of ban-evading cheaters/griefers. Plus that most people usually avoid using a VPN when playing such games, due to the risk of increased latency.

For some reason, my steam ID wasn’t banned.

All of these plugins initiate only an IP ban, so the person is able to rejoin with their “real” IP address.

But you’ve actually tried asking for your Steam ID to be whitelisted? Shame that their admins don’t know how to/don’t want to do it.

Why not ask the server admin to whitelist your Steam ID? If you’re apparently a “regular” and don’t cause problems, I don’t see why they wouldn’t whitelist you.

Isn’t that just the same pig, just wearing different makeup? I’m not a fan of msedgewebview2.exe allocating 500+ MB RAM just because Teams is open, but maybe that’s Teams fault…

Maybe that’s why. “Y’all have secret bank accounts there, pay up!”

Sweden having fewer than 1% black people

Sorry, where are you getting your statistics from? The 1800s?

I don’t abuse alcohol. I love alcohol, so why would I abuse it?

the blank cheques being handed out wastefully

What blank cheques exactly?

And I’m not sure how you do it down in oz, but in most other countries, the government creates budgets for each agency, and those agencies then decide how to allocate their funds. If the government thinks that some agency is wasting too much money, they reduce their budget. There’s not supposed to be a king who decides all that on a whim.

And how many “blank cheques” to the defense industry have been investigated? Surprise, because it’s not about cutting “wasteful spending”.

an approximate location based on cell tower triangulation (which is kind of hit or miss, sometimes it’s really accurate, other times it’s basically useless)

I thought it was some kind of law that newer phones have to send accurate GPS coordinates?

Freely learn about many subjects, just as long as you aren’t wondering what happened on the 4th of June 1989.
