This is already an issue for tourists in many countries that have their own payment system (e.g. Brazil, India, Singapore, Thailand). In some of them you have companies that came up with products for tourists that allow them to pay but they

> Know this - your kernel is not patched unless you run the absolute latest version. This is correct for a lot of different software, probably most of it. Why is this a point that needs to be made?

Not sure why I decided to comment specifically on what you posted given the fact that there are various levels of misinformation going on in this thread, but I guess yours is the most blunt. Anyway read the article you linked to again, you

If you are worried about your Google account being banned for using ReVanced (not that I saw any evidence for anything like that so far but I agree that there could be a scenario like this some time in the future), for years now I've b

I run my Framework 13 with 1.4 fractional scaling (on Wayland) and honestly I think it looks pretty good.

This is indeed extremely annoying and I never understood why so many apps are configured to only be available in specific countries. Like what at all do they stand to gain doing this? Google will then go on to complain about users installin

It's a solved problem as in it's one single problem that is solved. I agree that WhatsApp is a really bad solution overall, just compared to iMessage it does solve the cross-platform issue. I would also by far prefer a more open s

Oh I definitely agree with you that I hope WhatsApp is the past. I sure do hope for something open, not sure if RCS is the solution here though. In any case, iMessage share the exact same issues and also adds the issue of locking you to a s

People here seem to quickly react by recommending their favorite travel eSIM provider. I'd propose what I find to be a bit more useful, a website that compares a bunch of different travel eSIM providers: https://esimdb.com

RedBus and many other Indian apps & websites don't accept foreign credit cards. It can become a real headache when traveling in India as a foreigner.

YouTube Premium is not available in some countries in the world. More than that, even just traveling to a country where it's not available is enough to lose the YouTube Premium features.

I agree, India in general has pretty bad bureaucracy against tourists, it feels like the government doesn't care at all about attracting them. But I recently saw that Wise supports transferring money to India via UPI (also more anecdot

I'm not sure what issues in Wayland you're talking about. I've been using sway with fractional scaling for a few years now and never really had any problems.

If you follow published reports of Android vulnerabilities you'll see that taking longer than 90 days for a fix is actually not that rare. I myself had a similar experience a couple of times.

The problem though is that issues with CVEs are not caused only by bad CNAs. MITRE (understandably) doesn't have the resources to verify every CVE request it receives, which have resulted in bad CVE details being filed on multiple occa

Unfortunately, YouTube premium is not available in all countries, so some of us have have to go for more "hacky" solutions if we want to avoid ads.
