Are you connected to some VPN? I had this when I connected to some mainstream servers, and was able to log in just fine when I switched to something less common, without changing any security/privacy features.
Without the buyout, the company would have failed even earlier. Doesn’t help the employees either.
My employer. Who owns the laptop. And forbids me to fuck around with it…
I haven’t heard of either, let me check if I can run those with my user profile and not break anything I need to log on to our corporate network in the process.
Not that I’m aware of, but I’ll double check.
I tried and it doesn’t update, even after a clean reboot with no browser open whatsoever. However I did find another entry in the Firewall that comes up right on boot, which is a service called MS.Edge.Webview2, which seems to be triggered through the Teams App. I’ve now completely uninstalled Teams, and after a fresh boot the ad (or “media control”) seems to be gone now. Guess I’ll be using Teams from my phone or via browser in the future.
Thought of that as well, but all ads are blocked and I get this popup even with the browser closed and after a full reboot (not just suspend and reactivate), so it must happen on system level, I assume. Checked my run on startup applications and services, and they appear to be clean as well.
Nah, they’ve been forcing kids to sing the anthem every morning almost as long as the US, where they got the idea from.
Sure, though quite a few of those things are not explicitly written down, and court transcripts are only published in high profile cases, so you won’t find any official reference to the group size. So it’s mostly from second hand experience and hearsay. You pick up one or the other thing if you live in China for nearly a decade.
But here’s some official reading - I hope the sites are accessible from outside China, that’s something I can’t validate right now.
You should be good to go with google translate; though specifically for Chinese legalese, I suggest yandex translate (assuming you don’t speak Chinese):

It’s sufficient to mention it in a wechat group with >10 people, which already qualified as instigating “the masses”.
Oh nice, thanks! Will give it a shot.
I have disabled and uninstalled it, but office 365 still enforces it as the default save as location, so now when I use the dialogue, the system hangs for 30 seconds. Even disabled it in the policy management, but no dice.
They had their servers seized, but were later returned and the service came back as mega.nz, legit and all.
Discord is great for casual chatting. Was it ever intended to be a forum though? For that use case, it’s completely impractical.
Sure, I’d take that over ads anytime.
Just catch everything in the background, play the full ad on mute, and when the ad segment is coming up in the stream you are actually watching, switch to the cached copy. Shouldn’t be too hard to program.
That would work for ads before the content, but not if they are spliced into the running video.
You can just switch it off.
Google is Mozilla’s biggest source of income, and google developers have actively contributed code to the Firefox engine.
So you decide for yourself what level of independence you assign to it.
