And every update makes it more difficult to disable web search on the start menu and using local only accounts.

And Calc! It takes about 5 seconds to load. And search is so unreliable mixing web and local results.

It could be a plot line in a Black Mirror episode

Reminds me of a cashless hotel laundromat that I had to use that didnt accept coins, tokens or had a credit card reader. So to wash my clothes I had to find a charger to charge my phone, download an app, being able to receive SMS 2FA while roaming which is a hit or miss depending on roaming agreements, having working internet connection, enabling Bluetooth and Bluetooth Nearby Devices, and then top it up with a foreign credit card. It took about 30 minutes to set it up.

I guess this would be easier in a beighbourhood laundromat with local clients, but in a hotel with many foreigners it becomes a pain with so many dependencies needed to use the washer and dryer.

I'll look into that. Is there one you would recommend for forwarding SMSs to computer?

A few years ago when SMS tokens and Authenticator apps where less common, I was able to do work without having my phone on the same room as my computer. Now I need to have it on my desk most of the time for logging in.

I came looking for this,

Is the Chinese instagram’s name, Little Red Book (小红书), related to Facebook’s Little Red Book, or just a coincidence?

I have seen something similar with Korean and Dutch

Korean: Ne = yes

Dutch: Nee = no

Spanish too, as Japanese snd Spanish share many syllables and vowel sounds

https://www.mundodeportivo.com/uncomo/ocio/articulo/chistes-...

And Japanese names that sound similar to Spanish phrases:

Yamamoto - Llama Moto - Fire Motorcycle

Niigata - Ni gata - Not even a cat

Kazamaura - Casa/Caza Maura - Marries or Hunts Maura

Nomiya - … No mía - Not mine / Doesn’t pee

And then there is:

Kaga - … Kagasawa - …

What I don’t know is if there are Spanish puns in Japanese?
