My thinking is this is not an effort to remove ballots, but to generate doubt about the results as well as create a pretext to restrict voting by mail in the future

This needs to go viral and be posted in reviews for every monitor with this "feature". Heck, make a convenient warning icon indicating "adware" for such reviews so I can scroll past them faster.

No way I'm risking buying a TV or monitor from LG after seeing this. It would go right back in the box to be returned.

Yes this is a thing and it's been around for quite some time. If you're trying to approximate TeX, you may also be interested in MathML.

I need to go lay down; I'm having flashbacks to the good old days of "XML everywhere for everything all the time".

Yep. And for very good reasons, as explained in the article. But knowing that domains can be a significant source of income for a small nation, it does seem a shame to both waste that resource and break tons of sites in the process. I wish there were better ways to do this that didn't mean shutting it down or even selling it off to the highest bidder (who already has enough money).

I doubt this will happen, but they should just reassign it to the Mauritius authority. The citizens of the islands could then potentially see some benefit from it, not Google or ICANN or whoever selflessly offers to take it over.

I think everywhere I use 2FA they also have downloadable backup codes, but you have to store those securely somewhere also.

This is why more sites need to support multiple 2FA devices. Most of them support a fallback like SMS, but they restrict you to one key. I can't think of any reason to restrict this other than trying to "keep it simple" for users, which is just silly.

I see Norwegian furries tend to stay mostly inland.

Try turning the phone to landscape mode before tapping the full screen button. It works for me in YouTube on Pixel 7a.

Ah yes, the Marty McFly strategy.

For those not in the US: it may be covered, but normally it's a separate insurance plan and not covered by your regular health insurance.

It also varies what type of "dental" care. Some mouth/gum surgeries may be covered by the health plan. I think most dental plans cover checkups. All this varies wildly with your employer and insurance election, though.

Lol true

To OP's point, my friends say I don't have an accent, but the number of people who ask me where I'm from says otherwise.
