You don't understand. The only winning move is not to play.

The game isn't even "free". My wife had it on her phone, and it was available through a netflix subscription.
I showed her her that the game is deliberately handing her a losing hand so it plays a Temu ad, and there's no luck or skill involved.
Uninstalled. Now I wanna can Neflix too for dishing this shit up to my family.

Australian here.
We just named a memorial pool after our leader when it happened to us.

‘We can’t just pretend that everything’s OK in the regions’: what went wrong in Wangaratta?
I went to Wangaratta a few months ago. I walked past her office. I only took one pic during my visit.

I didn't know about the DVD region thing. I once worked in retail (Dick Smith Electronics), and we sold region-4 locked DVD players. However, our POS had region unlock instructions in the product description, which I would print and attach to each and every sale.
I'm swear there's still carrier-locked phones at OfficeJerks. Just the pre-paids.

Australia's nuclear agency targeted with ads linked to spyware that infect devices without a click
I keep telling the IT people at work...
They've installed enpoint protection that reduces my PC performance by 70%.
They've got so much auth that most things are 4FA.
Services on a virtual desktop through a VPN still need have HTTPS.
The ACLs are so tight that I have to wait weeks on a ticket to make two PCs communicate in the same room.
Session timeouts are so short that I spend half my day reauthenticating with stuff.
Then they don't block ads. Every time I've seen an infected machine, the attack vector has been an ad. It's the only security measure that makes life better for the users, and they don't do it.

Venezuela expects nearly US$76 billion in oil investment over five years, acting president says
Ahh yes. I'm sure that the last president vanishing over an oil deal had nothing to do with this decision to sign an agreement.

There's definitely an insurer driving our security policy, hiding behind some ISO audit spec.
Probably the same insurers that gain from scraping personal data from everyone and everything.

The stations were just MP3 files on the game disc. I burned them to an audio CD and had them in my car.
