Seems to be blocking users outside of the US, FWIW...

Android had (has?) a similar issue with the hotspot feature where it will not turn on in a region where 5 GHz is more regulated than in the US but will also not give you any warning about it.

Sounds like Wireless CarPlay lag. I've experienced it a few times. They should really fix it. Wired CarPlay is great!

At this point it's very easy: no CarPlay, no buy. So no Tesla (obv), no Rivian.

I use DNS-level blocking and audit, a bit like Pi-hole, but as a commercial service I can use anywhere. Definitely blocks a lot of trackers, but probably not all.

Complicated question... Do you have marketable skills that could land you a job in demand with a visa? Or sufficient savings to "buy" residency somewhere?

You can criticize all you want on memegen, people will upvote but nothing will change.

^ this! Ever since the Cambridge Analytica scandal, people who decide to work there make the statement that they are ok with it. Same with Palantir, X, Grok, Tesla etc

Apple Maps only works well in North America, possibly just the US. The same way a lot of happy paths in Apple products are designed for California/Single Culture/Single Language/Single Residence.

You're confusing colos and first-party data centers. A colo mostly relies on its customers for installs and maintenance. Google, MS, FB, Apple etc own the entire building so all the functions are local: server install and maintenance,

You have no idea how much maintenance is required. Just replacing hard drives, not even counting server repairs, new servers installation, network infrastructure installation and maintenance, power distribution, generator engineering, water

Data centers are hardly new technology... For the longest time, people had no idea where the cloud was because the footprint was pretty small. It's another golden goose moment where everyone is going to build DCs and we might end up li

Less than 30 makes no sense. It's easily in the hundred if you account for shifts and the specialized jobs required.

Thanks for that, now I have a rock-solid argument when people say "oh we're already Microsoft customers, we'll just use Azure, it's easier, and they have Active Directory!!"

Some airlines and/or local aviation authorities have additional restrictions. China wants CCC certified power banks, Thailand has a strict 160 Wh limit. Both are very strictly enforced.

So does Pichai... Every time there is something new, he forces Google to pivot, upending everything without much to show for it.

For cheap bulk compute, it's probably ok, but where would you serve your actual critical prod from?

I don't think OVH is anywhere near the level of AWS/GCP/Azure in terms of the quality of the infrastructure and networking. They seem to cut all the corners they can cut in pursuit of lower prices. They built a data center ou

Bank of America offers FIDO U2F as a second factor but doesn't let you remove SMS as a factor. I don't see what the point is.

ImprovMX recently sold to an American owner, though... So that's really not great.
