I think now the Google One AI Pro subscription directly works for raising limits on the CLI? But otherwise, there is an Individual subscription. The problem is it doesn’t work out of the box. You have to create a whole Google Cloud project and attach the API to it to get it to work. Otherwise the CLI would stop logging you in, which it did when the account was free. The worst part is if that cloud project had any code in it, CLI will use it as context on every prompt.

Get a Digitalocean droplet, and host your own Outline instance. Their manager app makes this a 1-click process.

No, these bans (as I understand it) usually happen under IT Act that apply to service providers and ISPs, not citizens. For example, TikTok is blocked by ISPs and taken off from app stores, and TikTok might itself be fined if they continue to provide service but it’s is not illegal for a citizen to use it. There are very few cases where it’s illegal for a citizen to access some things, but those things are illegal just about everywhere.

You're right. Main political opposition in India was affected with Pegasus and it is part of this program. I think this has more to do with the level of Apple's presence in a country/jurisdiction and their ability to retrieve the device back in case of misuse.

They mention abuse as one of the reasons to kill all 3 free products. Wouldn't just turning off free dynos, and making $7 as the new $0, have solved that? Why kill all three and take the minimum to $31 and make sure next generation will see you as rackspace? It appears the decision is taken by people who don't really understand the product beyond what they see in Excel.

One way to cancel is to chat with them and say that you now have an enterprise subscription via your company. They cancel without fee in that case.

A lot (all?) has been cleared out in Monterey. I can’t find smtpd or xattr’s scripts that required the previous version. I think whatever remained before 12.3 were Automator’s py scripts. But I don’t know what scripts those were.

Also the land distribution is vastly different. 60% is agriculture, 24% is forest cover. Compare that to US where most of the land is cow pastures.

Is there a study on comparing number of people actually selecting cookies on the pop ups vs. number of users who already had Adblock? Because unless you have that info, GDPR cannot be claimed to protect any privacy. How many people who never had Adblock are selecting which cookies they want on these pop ups?

And it’s not only the US websites, the website OP mentioned is one of the three largest medicine websites in India. There is no reason for them to comply. And EU laws are incredibly confusing. Follow GDPR and respect privacy, while saving customer IP address for years when EU needs VAT.

It’s possible to do via extensions now. Hyperweb is an extension that allows for adding atmos search engines.

Yes the string split is a very odd. I agree with you there. Very confused that Google can't catch this. It's adding to the same string it should look same in the heap anyway? Simple college plagiarism programs like MOSS will catch this.

For Google Pay, what Google is doing is actually not legal. Government wanted each third party (non bank) app to be restricted to 25%. Google will get in trouble when government actually starts cracking down (and when they get close to the 25% mark). We don't know how government is looking at them, because they're under threshold anyway. The legal way for GPay to handle over 25% of total transactions is to register at least as a Payment Bank.

I'm not sure if Google will start flagging the IP addresses of the users because of each request having a different agent. That would render normal Translate unworkable for them too!

My guess would be (given the size of that array) that this is done to prevent rate limits rather than cost. It could be that this was advised by Google themselves because they could not provision the correct rate limits due to end of year. It's hard to imagine a client of this size isn't in direct contact with Google Cloud engineers. Pretty sure they're paying for it too. Also, this may have been done just for the open source commit of the project to prevent leaking token? Can't jump to conclusions here.

Google does the same thing in Google Pay Indian version. Government mandated that no one app can have more than 25% transaction volume of the country for UPI. So Google partnered with 4 banks, essentially having 4 UPI apps in the eyes of government.

I always wonder why Google doesn’t do an Apple and turn off all advertising on Google phones. Selling hardware and subscriptions has proved to be more yielding than advertising. With Fuchsia on horizon, Google can literally own the entire ecosystem from desktop to mobile.

Use a middleware like Chargebee. Your subscriptions will be saved and there will be no change in UX when you are forced to change the underlying payment processor. Even before launch (assuming you’re a US business) you can have a backup in form of PayPal Payflow Pro, which integrates fine with chargebee.
