Say what you will but the fact that cities in the US have that kind of money to throw around says a lot about the country - compare that to having to heat ourselves using duvets in Europe :D


I think the free plan allows this. Seems an easy solution.


I'll have a huge impact on anything making legitimate use of the list. Adblockers on sensible browsers will stop working etc.

It may be easy, and it may even be the only option, but it's a bad one that will need some thought from the maintainers I expect.


The only thought it would require would be thought they should have been putting into their fetching strategy in the first place.


So they ban spam from a competitor? Not too surprising, is it


They say this but almost all the Nexus/Pixel phones that they have released are of an appalling quality and have a very short support timespan. How do they plan to compete against Apple with such a flawed product line?


^^ is the correct answer.

I used to buy google pixel smart phones, i had the galaxy pixel, the pixel one, the htc incredible as well.

There's zero chance id ever purchase a google/android product again, they don't support their products, there's a good chance a phone I buy will never get updates and all the interesting features they announced at IO would never come to the existing hardware.


from the name I guess v4l2 is the second version of something? So third time's the charm?


Video 4 Linux, and yes it's the second version. v4l was added to the kernel in the late 90s, and v4l2 replaced it in the early 2000s.

I can block ads with ublock origin, I can't block credit card charges from my bank account - well I can but then I can't use the service any longer.


Is there any reason to think she's about to leave or is this some wishful thinking from the usual suspects?


As well as the disastrous mini-budget and replacement of the chancellor?

One of the procedures by which she can be replaced involves 'letters of no confidence' being sent to the '1922 committee'. There are a bunch of newspaper articles saying that committee has been having discreet meetings and talking to Truss yesterday.

Which is the political equivalent of getting invited to a same-day meeting with your boss and HR entitled 'private meeting'.


The betting markets have about 60% for her leaving this year: https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/politics/market/1.2030...


Is the usual suspects her party colleagues? Feels like it's almost becoming a tradition in the conservative party at this point.


I'm betting by next week.


Have you seen the news in the UK this week?

She's had a terrible week (and that's saying something given her premiership to date).

She had to sack the chancellor that enacted all of her campaign promises, bring in a new chancellor who has undone all of her campaign promises.

Some of the polls coming out suggest the Conservatives would be in 3rd place at a General Election behind the SNP.


Holy shit I hadn't checked in a few weeks, but yeah if an election was held tomorrow they could potentially finish third: https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/prediction_main.html


There's a map here that graphically shows just what a wipeout it would be: https://twitter.com/ElectionMapsUK/status/158203973484657459...


Not a speck of blue north of the border and that worm Douglas Ross out of a job. Glorious. Wonder if anything will change in the next 2 years ...


Fourth behind the SNP in some cases.
