Navarr··on Google requiring all ‘G Suite legacy free edition’ users to start paying
I was already livid about this change but this is the piece de resistance. Holy hell. Even after migrating to a regular Google account I've still been using my custom domain as my identity.
Navarr··on Google requiring all ‘G Suite legacy free edition’ users to start paying
Same thing here. Within the past two years I started a transition to a regular Google Account b/c GApps Free was a second class citizen (no family groups, etc.)

Killing the free tier now is a huge PITA, and especially aggravating without them implementing any way to carry over licenses to a regular google account which is still free.

Navarr··on IPv6-only subnets and EC2 instances
Could incentivize instead of force; I don't think that's causing any harm - right?
Navarr··on IPv6-only subnets and EC2 instances
I think for a long time the only thing that will push IPv6 uptake will be legislation.

ISPs don't want to implement it because their customers aren't pushing them to, because websites aren't typically IPv6-only, because that's a terrible business model.

So unless we force or incentivize ISPs to implement IPv6 access through law, it's going to be a long time before we hit the breaking point where something HAS to be done by ISPs

Navarr··on Square Banking
Capital One was an online-only bank before online-only banks were a big thing. It started as "ING Direct" before the sale to Capital One.

I've definitely had some issues with customer service (not refunding a fee they said they were going to), but it's nice to have a "bank" with custom support

I've got just enough imagination to convert the black to void so it's a very helpful picture, thanks!

Why do you think that breaking Google apart would make the portions that don't directly receive money from advertisements less likely to sell ad space?

I'm actually kind of surprised that this hasn't happened yet, with the security concerns around how capacitive portals work.

I'm not super familiar with how the Wi-Fi connection process works, but I would expect that a URL for a capacitive portal could be provided during the connection handshake

Navarr··on Germany fines YouTube for removing video of anti-lockdown protest
Yeah, it's pretty clear the fine is about not obeying the court.

But I was asking why the court was forcing them to re-instate a video in the first place.

What's the law they ran afoul of here?

I'm getting the impression from the Google Translate'd version of this[1] article, that they violated a contract with the company?

Yeah this is very clearly on the ad-blocker.

I think TeeSpring has the right idea - they're checking that GA is loaded, if it is, then do stuff with it, if it's not, then don't.

I don't understand how a website can and should be expected to adapt to a browser plugin changing the APIs they depend on out from underneath them.

Navarr··on Google TV
It is running "Google TV," but "Google TV" runs on the "Android TV" operating system variant of "Android"
Navarr··on Google TV
For Android, a launcher is a special type of application that is in charge of launching other applications.

If you search for "popular launchers" you should be able to find some examples

Navarr··on Google TV
Google TV is a launcher for Android TV, so far as I can tell. Android TV is not being rebranded, as it is the OS - but Google TV is the "Google Experience" on Android TV.

To make this more complicated/interesting - Google renamed the Play Movies and TV app to "Google TV." I'm guessing so you can have Google TV on Google TV?

Will the Play Movies app on my existing Android TV open the Google TV launcher like shown off here, or is it still just a browser for the content I already have?

Is the change to Android TV just that this app becomes the launcher?

It doesn't matter.

The burden of truth is supposed to be on the accuser.

Consider if you will - a robber is caught by police in his own house. In this house, they found the items the robber stole. Should they:

a) take the items the robber stole b) take everything
