It’s really not as crazy as the media makes it sound like on a general basis, but yeah. Ever since covid even the last person realized what rights remain when the powers that be go wild. My days here are numbered anyways, just a few more weeks.
Been poking around a bit more, and found another entry in the Firewall that comes up right on boot, which is a service called MS.Edge.Webview2, which seems to be triggered through the Teams App (that I did have on autostart). I’ve now completely uninstalled Teams, and after a fresh boot the ad (or “media control”) seems to be gone now. Guess I’ll be using Teams from my phone or via browser in the future. No idea how that happened though, I never played any video through Teams.
Not for the sake of being able to use Linux, no. On other terms most certainly.
Yep I can access the hosts file, that’s a great idea. Will give it a shot. I just hope those aren’t IPs that MS is using for genuine requests of applications I have to use such as Teams or Outlook… But will give it a try, at least if anything else breaks, I know what to do to resolve that. Thanks for the tip!
I live in China, policies are to be followed. There is no “but”, and I rather pick a nicer hill to die on, when it comes to that.
Nah, they’ve been forcing kids to sing the anthem every morning almost as long as the US, where they got the idea from.
Contacting the hospital is way more effective than asking random strangers online for a best guess based on vague details. Just sayin’
Sure, though quite a few of those things are not explicitly written down, and court transcripts are only published in high profile cases, so you won’t find any official reference to the group size. So it’s mostly from second hand experience and hearsay. You pick up one or the other thing if you live in China for nearly a decade.
But here’s some official reading - I hope the sites are accessible from outside China, that’s something I can’t validate right now.
You should be good to go with google translate; though specifically for Chinese legalese, I suggest yandex translate (assuming you don’t speak Chinese):

It’s sufficient to mention it in a wechat group with >10 people, which already qualified as instigating “the masses”.
Aren’t they regulated in some way or other? I had problems with them in Europe (travel a lot for work, including some African and Central Asian countries) and they blocked me when I tried to buy something while in Nigeria. Fair play, common scam hotspot.
But no matter what I did to prove my identity after returning, they wouldn’t unblock my account. So instead I sent a complaint to the CSSF (the FED of Luxembourg, where they got their European banking license) and within days I had the head of compliance from their HQ in Ireland on the phone telling me that my account was open again and practically begging me to drop the complaint.
Not the OP, but I for once can’t. She’s not sexualized in any way.
“Fuck you” is an insult, and email spam is illegal.
So if someone with a tiny ego and tinier penis really wants to sue over this, they just might have a case.
They might give you the possibility to opt out thanks to living in the EU, the OP might not be as lucky.
The thing is that gen.xyz is the registrar itself, i.e. the highest authority for this tld. If they blacklist domains, you’re screwed.
They are indeed the registrar. Would have expected more.
I can automatically clean up space, or restrict space used, but then I don’t get to choose who’s data to keep or.
You can actually delete the data for good in both the android and windows software through the interface, and it works. But yeah the amount of data is staggering.
I’ve got a reminder in my calendar to delete the data on the first day of a new quarter, so this here is accumulated since April 1st:
Oh true, my dad’s house that I used to compare the ones in China to is in Germany.
The number has been in use in Europe for decades. If they didn’t know it then, they sure do by now already.
Yeah it’s very weird, no idea what happened there. Maybe someone had somehow sent me a link and it was looping in the background? No clue. I gave up trying how teams and teams groups work a long time ago, the implementation is a major shitshow.
