The alt stores discussion is really <1% of users that'll use it and I don't think is an issue (but anyway, they are policing that too)
heh...
Whereas 99.999%? of the users won't use tor/$vpnCompany/cloud provider IPs. It's all in terms of which is less likely to lead to a support request.
I worked with a relatively big bank that used a tool like Akami or Cloudflare. With those tools you can just ban/block entire countries (think any IP from Iran, Russia, etc) or entire ASNs.
But no, if you don't need that and if you've done the setup part, and you're just looking at the VPN part, you wouldn't gain anything.
Tailscale magically works, recovers well from crashes/network changes (I've had a few issues here with WG native client), manages your keys (and rotation of), creates point to point tunnels (which is just confusing via a plain text config with several devices).
But that won't affect you if you're just travelling. Even if you get a new phone, your account is still set to your original country.

Especially for walking and in less common places.
In Ghent, Belgium, Apple Maps wanted to let me walk a ~20min detour and follow car streets whereas GMaps correctly allowed me to walk on pedestrian-only roads.
They are aware that it's not within reach for everyone, and hopefully they'll be able to do something about it (likely with scale: more subscribers, means they can slowly lower the prices as they've done: https://blog.kagi.com/plan-changes)
Tried to convert my wife to use it, but she's too used to Google (and the integration with Maps, local recommendations for cafés and restaurants, etc) that don't work as well in Kagi (yet). But for day to day, proper searching, it's 100% better.
And I can't stress enough how liberating it is to see the top results of the search are actually most likely the most relevant results (and not "they paid more"). Yesterday I had to set up a clean Windows laptop, and had to use Edge to install Chrome (or Firefox) and 1password: it's just pure lying to users: https://media.m.superuser.one/media_attachments/files/111/21... (that top banner with download 1password doesn't actually do anything, the next results, made to look like a real result with the sublinks etc is all lastpass cheating and paying to be in front of 1psw).
``` addEventListener("fetch", event => { event.respondWith(handleRequest(event.request)) })
async function handleRequest(e) { const connectingIP = e.headers.get("cf-connecting-ip"); return new Response(`${connectingIP}\n`, {status: 200}) } ```

"When will mine ship?
Our goal is to ship production units by June 2021."
I applaud more accessible and cheap hardware though, but not sure if they can deliver it.
The YouTuber had his Amazon affiliate account canceled after 7 years without warning or evidence of wrongdoing. The reason given was that purchases made through his links were for personal use or made by friends and family, which he denies. He finds the timing suspicious as it came a week after he made a video criticizing Amazon for canceling a customer's account for a racist doorbell claim. He argues that the small amount of revenue from his affiliate links is inconsequential to him. He believes Amazon is becoming less accountable as it grows in power and treats customers worse. While not excusing Amazon's actions, he questions whether enough vetting was done before canceling his account. The snap decision shows how trigger happy Amazon is to remove people's accounts.
Looks like they just blocked a bunch (all?) of Asian countries from visiting the site. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
