It works fine until Google suddenly decides that your new device is not you and asks you to confirm login from previous device...

It's cat and mouse game, VPN providers have to constantly update their protocol after being blocked by DPI.

Unlikely the case, Telegram is the app that Russian government is most focused on blocking right now, it's almost impossible to use without proxy or VPN. Not saying Durov is perfec…

Not sure about a film, but maybe TV series? I thought Game of Thrones was not adaptable but then HBO did it.

Does it require specific VPN apps or root? I tried connecting laptop to phone hotspot and even though phone was connected to VPN, laptop wasn't.

I haven't thought of that, makes sense. That likely applies more to higher-end non-chain places and tourist spots with lots of first time visitors. Regular customers will often kno…

Is the definition of a good server in this case one who can serve more tables than others in the same amount of time? In most places tips are mandatory and % does not depend much o…

Not exactly to get enrolled, but in Moscow websites officially advertize 2300000 rub to sign, which is about $25000. Then monthly payment is 190000 rub so for first year it'll be a…

Prigozhin was a very different case, not that many people have their own paramilitary organization to defend them. Only other such person I can think of is someone like Kadyrov.

This aircraft was trying to land so it likely had much lower altitude and speed than usual.

In the previous active phase of war in Syria Hezbollah was one of the main Assad supporters that provided manpower. They are extremely weakened right now, so in a way rebels can th…

Not sure if people who prefer to use cash will consider that an adequate substitute.

That's true for online stores but not necessarily offline, where it's hard to compare prices and it's much more convenient to go to store nearby even if they charge 10% more unless…

Processing cash might cost retailers even more than cards (miscalculations, keeping change, counterfeit bills, cash collection every day) unless it allows them to evade taxes.

Or since prices are set up by retailers, they'll get extra 3% profit.

There is a network but in my experience it's not the most reliable and with no accountability. I tried to use it twice so far but experience was not too good. First time bus was ju…

The question is what will happen once Temu burn through their marketing budget. Will there be another investor with Temu 2.0?

I flew it couple of times. For me it's nicer because of 2-3 seating - smaller % of middle seats and if you're flying with someone you can take 2 seats next to each other. Also econ…

I don't mind QR code menus too much but often they are paired with ordering/payment system and these are too unreliable. Sometimes it can take my order, sometimes it just can't or …

While 2FA is everywhere but whether it should be enabled by default or not is very subjective. Not that long time ago there was a discussion about 23andMe data leak through user ac…

I wonder if CarPlay and Android Auto is not safe on GM cars because they are just bad at implementing it. I had my share of issues with Android Auto on my last car - initial setup …

Initial setup depends on a car a lot. On my previous car it was connecting through USB, initial setup was complicated but afterwards it mostly worked. On my current car connection …

It's usually listed it on their website and not too hard to google. I have to do it for every new airline I use because I'm almost always flying with only carry-on and rules for ca…
