That is a cool story, thanks for sharing.

I live in the US now but miss having an avenue to pursue if unjustly treated as a consumer. A watchdog with a modicum of actual power is a good thing. A small example: at one point it felt as though mere mention of the ombudsman was enough to sway dodgy phone carriers to acquiesce on minor matters such as billing, misleading advertising etc.

I like System 76 and I use Pop OS on a desktop PC. I don't know how else to say this but crikey, these machines are ugly.

Edit: I expect to be downvoted, and this is just my unhelpful, subjective opinion. But the font on those keys looks like one you'd get from a 90s shareware kit of 100 free fonts.

This quote does not support your argument.

Wow. Do you have an example of this happening?

I get the point you're trying to make but regarding the hotel analogy, I expect a lot more from a hotel than a video game. The trappings of a dodgy hotel are more universal than the subjective shortcomings of games whose tropes align to specific genres. For example, I have a soft spot for the aesthetic vision of the original StarFox but the game itself is incredibly linear, repetitive and one dimensional. According to your criteria it would ruin the magic, but I don't really see it that way.

My guess is Australians would continue to use a non localised version of Google. Bing and by extension DDG is awful for Australian results in my experience.

As pointed out by others, a cheap HDMI to USB converter unlocks many possibilities. I use a Sony RX100 on a tripod plugged into a $20 eBay dongle. Works flawlessly cross platform, no drawbacks except there is no mic.

Can you elaborate on this?

Anyone know if GOG will process refunds? My cloud-sync has been munted from the get-go. Via Geforce Now the files have gone missing between sessions. Not to mention the numerous bugs I've encountered making certain missions unplayable (unable to advance, AI stuck behind cover etc.)

I started baking bread when I moved to the US cos it was so hard to find any without sugar.

You are correct, I am very sorry.
