kingdragonfly: Even though New Zealand is obviously outside the UK, we might be unaffected directly. Global providers often apply uniform policies, so UK regulation changes might still ripple outward, as Apple has argued.
What do you dream about?
Today on The Joy of Windows 11, I have 85 GB in my Recycle Bin despite its maximum size being set to 50 GB.
gzt:Behodar: We're now up to five ads before a YouTube video starts playing. How much further can they cram the wedge in?
I'm not seeing that on my tv streamer or android phone. I don't recall seeing it on my Windows desktop although I use YouTube there less frequently. Which platform are you on?
It was on MacOS, but although it happened a few times on Wednesday evening it seems to have returned to normal now. Maybe YouTube doing an experiment and seeing what they could get away with?
FBI: Let's get this Belarusian woman extradited to the USA on charges of selling US aviation parts to Russia
ICE: Let's deports this Belarusian woman who is in the USA illegally

You say this like it's a bad thing! I know some people like to organise, and more time to do so is better. Isn't if?

Florida man who crashed stolen BMW told cops that he ‘teleported’ into it during arrest: The Independent
An unhoused man who stole a BMW and crashed it while driving 130mph claims he teleported into the vehicle while authorities arrested the man.
...
A witness saw a man who appeared confused get into the car.
“He kept asking for a light,” the witness said. “I thought, how does he have a BMW if he doesn’t even have a lighter for a cigarette?”
...
[after crashing the car] with blood running down [the thief's] face, the sheriff walks up to him and he says “I don’t know how I got in the car. I teleported. You saved me from the aliens"

I've seen the video. I'd guess he's on some horrible combination of drugs and/or combined with effects of methamphetamine psychosis after a very long period on meth and no sleep. Oddly, nothing I've seen indicates the cops actually tested the guy for alcohol and drugs.

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell
