Democrats aren’t even capitalizing on it. Unless it’s hidden in the ads I’m blocking, I’m not seeing anything to show people that it’s Republicans behind it all. But I can point to a dozen locations that (re)print Trump’s unhinged rants on the subject.
It’s not that Google’s algorithms got bad, but the entire Internet turned to shit and they can’t compensate for it.
For anything not time-sensitive, try adding “before:2023” to your search. I’m betting the quality of your results will skyrocket.
ETA: fixed autocorrect
For more information on the subject, Microsoft has been fighting this battle, largely unsuccessfully, for years.

It’s also why they had Azure Germany - an instance where they were not actually in control and data could remain sovereign. I believe it’s now defunct, or at least restricted.
$1,000 is that number, or at least it was a few years ago. The IRS requires quarterly estimated payments. Although from what I could tell (not a tax expert), it would’ve been fine for me to just pay the whole sum on Dec 31.
If it’s working fine in 10, it’s very unlikely to be a hardware fault. Possible (but unlikely) a hardware configuration.
The answer was almost certainly drivers. While I acknowledge that you were unsuccessful at changing them, that is still where your issues came from. You probably could’ve fixed it WinPE/WinRE, which is admittedly way more complicated than it should be.
Part of this is exactly why your boss exists. Raise your concerns with them, and get them on your side. They can also (vaguely) let you know if you are alone on it, or if it’s affecting the entire department.
Your boss is also in a much better position to talk to the other guy’s boss, or someone further up the chain. It also removes the emotional component (similar to how even lawyers should not represent themselves in court), and keeps it focused and level.
There are a lot of other good comments in this thread. Bring them to your boss as possible solutions, and let them fight the battle for you. It also shows you have a desire to solve this (rather than just gripe), and gives them options they may not have considered.
Wild that China is the only one that learned from Trump in 2016, and prepare for what was coming.
Of course, most of that is what China’s been doing anyway for a couple decades, so that may be more coincidental.
As evidenced by the term “bearded clam”
It probably depends on how personalized the ads are. It should come as no surprise that targeted ads have been a thing as long as ads have existed. Coke ads during family shows, alcohol ads (you’ll be cool if you use our product) on MTV, etc.
There are already a number of algorithms to deliver one ad for a product over another, based on likely demographics. Streaming has greatly increased this, since specific demographic details are immediately and directly available when the ad is shown. I won’t get the same as on Hulu that you get.
As for generating ads on-the-fly, that seems unlikely. Few ads are fully generated at all, let alone in response to demographics or the specific viewer(s).
There are also risks when deploying ads without vetting. Some of these viewers will be dressed as Nazis, and will happily share the video to everyone.

I’m sure that was autocorrect, but it feels awfully portentous.
The story I’d heard was not that it’s a transcription error, but closer to a pun. Readers would be familiar with the term for a ship’s rope, and the minor linguistic shift highlighted the absurdity of such an idea.
Interesting though about translations to other languages. I’ll have to dig further on the subject.
Republicans (and people in general, TBH) don’t make the same mistake twice.
They make it 6 or 7 times, at least.
The Nobel Peace Prize, brought to you by Carl’s Jr.
Depending on your location and situation, you may have access to a nurse line or fast telemedicine (basically a zoom call with a random doctor). They can diagnose many ailments remotely, and at least tell you what the next steps should be.
In some places, yes, probably. It would most likely fall under anti-SLAPP protections.
IANAL though, so it could be more complicated.
There is value in a rallying cry. Your favorite sports teams often have one. If you watch college sports, they usually have a fight song, and people even know/enjoy them. Something gutteral to energize the base, and gather them together.
This isn’t one of those.
Are you able to physically replace the HDD (preferably with an SSD)? If so, you can use the (Win10) Media Creation Tool to create a USB installer.
When it prompts for a key, just skip it. If you have an OEM mass activation laptop (i.e. anything from a major brand), it’ll activate automatically after. If, for whatever reason it still doesn’t activate, you’ll have a nag screen telling you to activate. It won’t significantly limit what you do.
It’s nearly certain. OEM activation has been stored on the motherboard since XP. XP-7 required a matching OEM cert (easily found online), while 8+ have a unique license in the BIOS. For these, you just reinstall the OS, skip the key during setup, and let it connect afterwards for all of the updates and whatnot.
Now, licenses to other apps, such as Word, are not so simple.
The biggest problem I had with the Jodie era was the companions.
Doctor Who has a rich history of the Doctor/Companion interactions following traditional gender roles. The Doctor is a powerful man who can bend time and space to his will, and his companion is an empathetic woman who can keep him grounded and retain his humanity. While there have been exceptions, this is the default formula.
When Jodie started, this all got turned upside-down. How should a woman Doctor act? Do they maintain the same character archetype (as they did with the Master/Missy), or do they make the character more feminine? What effect should that have on her relationship with her companions? Should the companion continue to be the traditional feminine role? Headstrong and masculine, but powerless? Wise and sage, like an advisor? This is a difficult plan for even the most accomplished writer.
Chris Chibnall was apparently not up to the task. Instead, he threw all of the options in at once. At best, it felt crowded and disjointed. But more often, it felt like they were focus-group testing. And by the end, it seemed clear that Kaz was the most popular with test audiences.
Not OP, but the most obvious and popular alternative to Adguard DNS is a (self-hosted) Pi-hole. That setup is effectively protected from such attacks, in no small part because it’s self-hosted.
