I went to see ControlD's website to see if it was any good but the chat thingy was trying to convince me by saying "protect your connection like the Coliseum protected Rome, try ControlD's free DNS", which I guess is a way of trying something funny since I'm connecting from Italy, but it does not inspire much confidence in their protection abilities

Mine (Spain) said "control your DNS like a flamenco singer" and it doesn't make sense at all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  Incredible that they found a way to use AI to do anti-marketing and lose customers

    A remarkable number of people seem to think "let's add AI to this!" is (a) always the thing to do and (b) don't even examine the output once before having it go live (or afterwards either).
