I was surprised when a SIM I purchased on Amazon was not only able to connect in China but was also able to bypass the great firewall. I wonder how these travel sims get round the government regulations.

It's how data roaming works in general -- it's tunneled through to the SIM's home provider. Conversely, a Chinese SIM roaming overseas is still subject to the Great Firewall.

I have a version of this; I have the email {{popular-asian-surname}}@gmail.com and I've seen _everything_.

I've had many many bank statements from India.

I've had someone in California order a brand new BMW and got the details for collection.

I've had paypal invoices and statements (this is one funny because they refuse to action the delink).

I used to reach out and tell them I didn't sign up for their service. But honestly, after doing it for a few years I gave up.

Now, I mark as junk and move on.

The best one I had was a dating site in Canada, I got it while sat next to me partner.

I have an extremely common first and last name and my email address is first.last@gmail.

I get my fair share of misaddressed mail but it doesn’t help that I share the same name as the CEO of a major hotel chain’s timeshare business so I’ve getting tons of complaints about that :/

Edit: they finally did allow JIT for browsers.

The article doesn’t mention Apple’s persistent refusal of JIT support for 3rd party JavaScript engines, which is a main barrier to implementing a performant 3rd party browser.

I’m no fan of the current administration but this is one person’s account so inherently 1 sided. I just flew in from Europe and most people were not searched. US border control don’t have time to systemically search the phones of all travelers. I’m guessing some other red flag triggered the questioning and phone search and denial (eg no return ticket or accommodation booked).

I was excited to see the domain but it turns out this is Epic the healthcare software company not the game developer.

It seems some EU countries are unrestricted but others are. How is this compatible with the EU single market/customs union?
