The bad news is, if you’re not on Team Tux, you’re going to have to pay $60 for Brave Origin. Granted, you only need to buy it once, and you’ll get unlimited activations across all of your devices.

It’s amazing people still believe this BS.

¡Gracias, primo! Espero verte en el malecón.

It is always odd to find someone who has no clue that other people have different needs and priorities.

Others report the same issue including someone commenting in this posting. From what I can tell Google is targeting private VPN servers on residential IPs.

I’ve used a different private VPN running on a commercial cloud server when traveling internationally. Google has never fucked with the location of that IP.

They were serving you pages in Spanish? That is really fucked up even for Google.

Do you believe a multinational company’s business polices are targeting you specifically each time you have a problem?

I believe Google specifically does this to discourage VPN use. It screws up their primary reason for existing: advertising revenue.

It’s already my primary search engine, but unfortunately it’s not a full Google replacement.

I avoid changing the MAC to pull a new address because family members actively use the VPN server via DNS and it can take a while for DDNS to update everywhere, but that’s what I’m going to have to do.

Whois correctly returns Charter Communications and every single IP location service shows a U.S. location. This is strictly Google’s fuckery.

I don’t sign in unless there’s some reason to. In this case Google is using cell towers to determine my phone’s location while in Mexico (and on my VPN) and then applying that location to everything on my Spectrum IP.

Interestingly Google has never done this when I’m using a VPN on a cloud server instead of my home server.

My neighbors (on the same Spectrum subnet) aren’t seeing this so it only affects my IP address. Google doesn’t give a crap about single user problems, in fact I think they’re doing this to discourage VPN use.

This happens on devices that have never been in Mexico. On those I took with me I’ve deleted cookies, cache, and used different browsers. Even allowing location on our phones and PCs and then updating the Google location on their website is only a temporary fix and as soon as cookies are cleared everything’s back in Mexico.

A single complex surgery can have billed charges approaching $1,000,000, and that’s if they will even perform the surgery if you’re ininsured. Your $5,000 a year won’t even cover the interest charges and your only way out if the hospital won’t reduce the debt is bankruptcy.

Way more than 5% where I am. Canadian tourism has dropped 80%.

I live in an area with a huge number of Canadian snowbirds in a normal year. This year there are almost none.

The SC has no authority over state laws unless they find them unconstitutional or conflict with federal laws. I don’t think even the 6 GOP justices would go that far.

Leona Helmsley was a prophet: “We don’t pay taxes. The little people pay taxes.”

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Let’s see here…

• USB won’t function at all with some computers because “It’S tOo aDvAnCeD”.
• Bluetooth refuses to automatically connect to either of my cars and the phone regularly needs to be restarted to get it to connect.
• Audio apps are killed to “save battery” when playing a long audio file even when phone is charging no matter the app settings.
• Bluetooth volume control intermittently stops working and becomes an on/off switch, either full volume or silent. Recommended fix? Reset Bluetooth and wifi, deleting all devices and networks and starting again. The fix is a temporary solution only and after reconnecting and redefining everything you’ll have to do it again.
• Phone ignores DND settings, instead it alerts in the middle of the night inviting me to try new features or warning that “Crash detection won’t work with Location Off”.
• A firmware update cut battery life by 30%.
• When music apps like Poweramp and VLC are in use, phone alarms and timers break the audio output stream and do not release it. The apps must be killed and restarted to work again.

These are all known problems and there have been many, many more. I’ve had to shut off a bunch of features that I bought the phone for, block notifications and repeatedly go into Developer Settings to deal with all the issues. The Pixel 10 is the best advertisement for an Iphone that I’ve ever seen and I’d never recommend it.
