Just boarded a flight in Iceland, no mention of being grounded.

It makes it illegal to film an officer physically assaulting you, for example.

I spent a lot of time playing cat and mouse with this type of toll fraud in 2022.

1. Rate limited SMS by number/ip: bypassed by large number of proxies/vpn.

2. Added captcha: bypassed by attacker manually signing up thousands of accounts (mechanical turks?) over months and then iterating over them for login OTP.

3. Identifying what carriers/operators are involved and blocking them asap (usually obscure ones).

4. Careful monitoring of SMS send rates and alerting of anomalies to investigate.

Coincidentally I just received an email request to reset my password on Namecheap (not issued by me), anyone else? On top of that, my account has been locked for 24 hours for three consecutive failed password or username entry attempts.

This reminds me of Reddit's approach to mobile. They make their mobile web interface excruciating to use, and block features client side just to push you onto their app.

I'm guessing it has to do with mobile users being more lucrative?

The Japanese writing system uses three different character sets. Loan words are generally always written using one of these three sets, "katakana". Learning how to properly read and write Japanese will take years, but I highly encourage anyone visiting to at least learn how to read the 48 katakana (entirely phonetic). It's relatively low effort for the value it adds to your trip. Many of the Japanese loan words are of English origin, meaning you'll effectively be able to read some Japanese and understand it which can be very satisfying, useful, and hilarious.

I can't speak to LoL's quality because I haven't played it, but I personally believe the largest factor was LoL's business model. League was free to play and attracted a huge player base because of it, while you had to spend ~30USD (?) to play HoN. They eventually switched to a free to play model as well, but it was way too late. I have spent thousands and thousands and thousands of hours in DotA, HoN and DotA 2—and HoN was a great game with a worse business model and sadly horrible leadership (CEO caught on several occasions dropping the most vulgar racist and homophobic remarks, banning people in-game if they upset him).
