I want to add to my former comment here [1] that I transferred my domain from namecheap when I saw this thread and the CEOs response on (28th Februar) and then afterwards was met with an automated email reply that left me actually stunning:

-------------------------------

"STANDARDIZED FORM OF AUTHORIZATION

DOMAIN NAME TRANSFER - Confirmation of Registrar Transfer Request

Attention: Redacted for Privacy Re: Transfer of [domain]

received notification on 2/28/2022 at [timestamp] PM that you have requested a transfer to another domain registrar.

If you WANT TO PROCEED with this transfer, you do not need to respond to this message. If you WISH TO CANCEL the transfer, please go to our website

If we do not hear from you by 3/5/2022 at [timestamp] PM, the transfer will proceed.

If you have any questions about this process, please contact support@namecheap.com"

-------------------------------

3/5/2022 is one day off your proposed limit here, therefore I suppose if I wouldn't have reacted in the first one or two hours since it was published I would have had to choose a new domain registrar, start the transfer and pray to god it would be accepted before the limit ran out?

But still, I am completely ignoring the ability for you to actually pay back your customers In the case of any refunds in that timeframe in case of any current or new sanctions. I am curious how are you going to pay back your russian customers in a week when you cannot just press refund or type in their IBAN for the money they paid you? Are you going to send them a letter with [currency]?

I dm'ed namecheaps Twitter account, but I got no response. I publically @ed your Twitter handle since I was in disbelief that NamechepCEO was actually your CEO and got no response. I know this has just been a few hours but I lost all believe in your company.

I probably wouldn't have made your company much money, or would I have made much impact since it is just my personal email domain.. But this email domain means a lot to me since it is my personal familiyname domain and can't be easiliy changed. This is also why I wrote this comment, I may not bring you much value, but this domain brings me a ton of value and I'd hate to lose it.

I'm not from Russia but moved my domain from namecheap to gandi. I saw a lot of people here and on Twitter complain that they got the termination email but have nothing to do with Russia. Now I pay 2 more Euros per year but I have peace of mind that the domain I use for my main email won't get shutdown because I fall into hastily setup filters, atleast I hope so.

https://www.deepl.com/translator is what I use. Can only recommend it but I've never personally used their API.

As someone who is multilingual, DeepL consistently gets better results (and more humanlike) between the four different languages I know, than any other free translator right now.

Seconded. The service is excellent, and the paid version for longer documents absolutely worth it.

DeepL is unbelievable great! It's very flexible, it has informal and formal mode, presents several synonymous for some words, and so on.

Same here, I bought a Samsung TV around 5-6 years ago and a year ago it started to show me ads all of a sudden in that 'Media Bar' (I have no idea what's it called, where you select the apps you want to use). A day later I factory reset it and gave it no access to the internet anymore and only stream to it from my PlayStation.

This made me swear off Samsung forever. Don't mess with my stuff I bought years ago.

Make sure your HDMI cable doesn't support ethernet... I've seen people comment about their TVs updating through HDMI when connected to peripherals like consoles.

I'm a bit late but I contacted the Austrian equivalent (Magenta Telekom) about the breach and was told that the news about the breach only refers exclusively to the American T-Mobile US and that no Magenta Telekom customers (formerly T-Mobile Austria and UPC Austria) were affected. So the German branch should also be safe I assume.

Maybe this works for you? https://archive.ph/Ys5od

Thanks for the suggestion! However, that link takes forever to load. I gave up after 2 minutes.

That sounds like my twitter experience. They are trying to show me .5 kb of text but given 500 mbit it takes 6-8 seconds to load a twurt. What a hilarious joke.

edit: 3 min later it is still loading things. Its now at 4.59 MB 102 requests.

I played it Day 1 and it runs reasonably well on my RTX 2080, nothing spectacular tho. I've had like 3 crashes in the 20 hours I've put in yet. I enjoy the game a lot, even with the bugs but what really let me down were the life paths.

I started a corpo character, got some fancy tech and a lot of cash 5 minutes in, then I ride a cool flying car around, I felt good and liked my choice. 10 minutes later I'm in a bar and 2 people come up to me that I have a meaningless dialogue with, they steal the tech and cash and from that point on I'm just a regular street kid?

It made no sense to me, I played on for an hour and then restarted as a street kid.

This always throws me off, if it says 'Select all cars' for example and there is a car going into the next part for 10% but the main thing of that square is a tree or whatever, do I mark that? But I also always select the whole pole, no idea if it's right

Can't wait for self-driving cars to always crash into the outer part of a car because it looks straight past it thanks to our square-based teaching.
