This is/was fairly common, I've experienced it on the Chinese subway a few times and I've seen a few clips of it happening online. No idea if it's official policy or not, though.

Anki supports HTML and JavaScript so technically anything is possible.

When it's expected to be handling reminders, calendar events, and other device functions for millions of users, it will be considered critical.

Some Gen Z hate audio messages and will not listen to them out of protest, others will send them every day. For most, they're just sprinkled in occasionally in primarily text chats (with their friends - likely not with anyone they're not close with) when there is some reason to send a voice message, e.g. conveying emotion or when typing is difficult.

That's my experience! n≈30 Gen Z.

Blocked for me! Virgin Media is my ISP. Maybe your ISP is less restrictive/compliant (not sure if the block is actually mandated).

This was my guess. I believe I have experienced this as an adult too: I played on a special Minecraft server (an anarchy server) for a year or so, and despite spending so much time on it, I can hardly remember my first few days on there. I have no memory at all of being at the spawn location. I believe it's because of what you described - as I continued to play on the server, my understanding of how it worked changed completely so my initial memories no longer made sense under my new framework.

You could probably find a company or a person in Taiwan to ship them to you from Taiwan.

What did they mean? Can't figure it out.

I've always thought that you could probably just walk off somewhere else once you're on the tarmac.

And it's far better in my opinion - ChatGPT actually creates its own prompts from what you give it and feeds those to DALL-E (you can see this by clicking on the images it returns and reading what the actual prompt was), although you can disable this by just firmly telling ChatGPT not to modify your prompt.

Additionally, the image generation itself is quite different. ChatGPT's DALL-E seems to create much more stylized images - much harder to get plain shots that don't heavily embellish your description.

You will casually breach the GFW if the VPN you pay for is not blocked yet.
