Luckily I only use my Sonos IKEA lamp only with Air Play, but the few times I have to use their app? Bonkers. Absolutely trash.
If only I had a dollar for every time I was blocked somewhere just because somebody else had used the IP just before me to do bad stuff. Worst offenders out there never clear the list, even. In a world of a shortage of IPv4 that approach is just madness.
It's also the opposite of effective. More like bogus effectiveness. Only hurts innocent bystanders.

It's just that in Europe the data is much more sparse to begin with. In many places Google didn't go multiple times, so there just can't be older data. On some streets however I see that if the data was really old (before ~2010/2012) Google probably decided that the quality was so bad – well, it really is – that they do not make it available. So even if there were multiple passes it is not a must that this feature comes available.
Especially here in Europe / Germany, where entire quarters where bombed to rubbles newer streets do not match neither namely nor spatially.
I loved how you could "move back in time" in street view. I think that has been killed too? There is a lovely Twitter/X account for Detroit tho: https://x.com/DetroitStreetVu
So most of the time for more obscure sites where the bitrot was already in place and they aren't loading anymore you could use the Google cache to get something out of it – where IA had nothing.
Why? Because it was before the nuclear bomb and all the other desasters that followed which actually permanently raised our background radiation levels. And because these ships were and still are underwater, they have been largely unaffected by this.
It might not seem much but apparently the radiation difference is enough, so for things that go into your body (like after an operation) only this old steel is used.
Or so I was told by a friend working in medical.
Not worth reading anyway, so you've lost nothing, OP.
But another commenter already pointed out that she was pressed to write the book like that.
So far I've not come across a more sophisticated theory that still passes Occam's Razor.
In my iPhone I have one physical SIM for my private number and an eSIM for my business number. Works great. When traveling I disable the business number and instead use Airalo.
So far it's much more pleasant than a "real" SIM, especially when traveling. No hassle of getting a card etc.
Also TB does not support conversations (think of GMail), so you don't a full thread view. Pointless for operation.
I still use it, but just because Outlook is far worse.
Which software/apps are your favorites? I love Goodnotes, but not having infinitve canvas is a problem for me indeed. A bit weird to have physical constraints employed on a device living in the digital world where it should not apply.
Apart from that: The experience is shitty. Do not shove Captchas in my face.
Everybody please clamp!
Common files are categorized successfully – but well, yeah that's not really an achievement. Pretty much nothing more than a toy right now.
I have seen (and sadly self experienced!) this kind of story way too often. And let me tell you this: This guy is now burned by this bad interaction and is successfully shooed away.
And some folks wonder why "nerds" and "geeks" are seen as socially inapt...
I don't even think that Mr. Ellerman had any malicious intents. But it just shows again, that the so called people skills are nothing to be neglected when choosing leading figures.
To paraphrase George Carlin: "It's a big club. And you're not in it!"
You'll need him anyway because of the building permit.
Legend has it that David Cameron asked Merkel. She said "No". He thought it means he can get what he wants – only to find out later, that indeed a German "no" is a clear and tight "no". But by then he already fell over his rhetoric...
