The Kirkland branding is everywhere. I see it at the Australian stores.

It's just that Bing/DDG seem to promote news from these sites as if they're sponsored links... but without the disclosure.

I prefer DDG, but I hate the news search. 90% of the results are paywalled.

Oh, and sometimes the image search will return a pile of porn for a seemingly clean search request. I once searched for "R34 Skyline" expecting Nissans, and got VERY different results without safe search.

Obsucuring means making it partially or entirely not visible.

Obfuscating, however...

CUPS facing the public internet sounds a bit crazy. Why would you print when not physicly near the printer?

Weren't there some phones where VoLTE was very difficult to enable? I remember some where aftermarket ROMs would not work with it because it was actively blocked/broken by the manufacturer. I've also seen some models where it worked on Telstra but not Optus.

Hell, I can demonstrate a 100% compliant WiFi setup which prevents making 000 calls while connected to it. This happens while allowing all traffic through. I think it's a patchy RFC6877 implemenatation in Android, but I haven't narrowed it down just yet.

The number of times I've seen my phone fall back to 3G voice in the Melbourne metro is unbelievable. I've heard it doesn't even work properly when calling between Telstra and Optus.

My company has a 6 month probation period. It also has a 6 month password expiry. Because of all the SSO nonsense, it's quite possible for it to lapse without warning.

It's now a running joke that get locked out on the last day of probation, and you're expecting a call from HR any minute.

The best rule: It's fantasy if there is a sword.

Diagnosis: ADHD. Display ads for stimulants.

i could add more detail, but it just raises further questions.

• The payroll officer was emailed from an aol.com address, not the company email domain.
• The bank account was changed to a branch in another state, several thousand kilometres away.
• My office was physically next to the payroll officer. Despite sitting 2 metres away, I was not contacted in-person at any stage.
• At least two staff members oversaw this.
• They just wrote off the money and paid me for the month again.

This triggered a policy change. Bank account updates had to be confirmed in-person after that.

It doesn't take much. I once put my name, job title and employer on LinkedIn. That was enough for someone to email my payroll officer and convince them to change my paycheck to a different bank account. I had no idea until my pay was missed.

My payroll officer was a dumbfuck, but that's all it took.

Linux.

A bank card is far more practical than a second phone. Even if Google Pay did work on GrapheneOS, I would not use it. It looks like a privacy nightmare.

Permitted noise should be inversely proportional to vehicle size (and legally, it kinda is). Too many idiots on the road that can't see over their own bonnet.

Also, get off reddit. Especially that shithole of a sub. It's probably full of drongos who take 2.5 tonne utes into school dropoff zones.

Artificial intelligence built upon real stupidity.

Google blocked it.

As a GrapheneOS user, It would be nice if they made it available to their android platforms first.

I have configured my home router to redirect all plaintext DNS traffic through it. I did it because Chromecasts try to sidestep DNS and go straight to Google.

While doing that was a couple of lines of nftables config, blocking DoH would require an actively maintained list. Even then, it would be trivial to host your own by renting some server space.
