The CIA played a long game for this one. First, they engineered the global warming, which led to cooler temperature than usual in that region, which led to fogs and low hanging clouds, which caused the crash of the helicopter carrying the president.

The people with appropriate skills must have the tv (it's not cheap) and actually interested in jailbreaking them. So far noone has done so.

It would be very inconvenient if you time it well, e.g. when they're playing games beside you and you see them about to land a decisive blow.

Whelp, it's not great. Ideally, you'll need at least NAT type B to be able to play online without issues.

You may improve the score by assigning a static ip address to your nintendo switch in your router settings, then add it to the router's DMZ. But this is assuming the source of the problem is the router's firewall. If the source of the issue is your ISP using CGNAT, then not much you can do beyond changing ISP or talk to your ISP to see if they have any online gaming-friendly internet plans.

Have you done the internet test from your Nintendo switch? https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22462/~/how-to-use-the-internet-connection-test

The most important result is the NAT type. What's the score?

Supposedly they found a new method (Q*) that significantly improved their models, enough to make some key people revolt to force the company to not monetize it out of ethical concern. Those people have been pushed out ofc.

There are certain kinds of people that love this kind of tourism. I mean, tourists visit North Korea every year. It might be the thrill of visiting forbidden countries that attracts them.

It's a famous historical site:

Bamiyan, one of the poorest regions in impoverished Afghanistan, is a popular destination for foreign tourists because it contains Buddhist monastic ensembles and sanctuaries, according to the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

The scenic city was also the spot where the Taliban destroyed two large Buddha statues in March 2001 during their previous rule in Afghanistan. The group said the statues were blasphemous under Islam.
