If it makes you feel any better, Google hasn't supported SSL for some time. Open TLS connections on the other hand, well now that's a different story.

.ai is not one of the ccTLDs that Google considers generic[0]. It would be interesting to know if Google will be making .ai generic, or if they will make a special exception for themselves considering they do not allow others to change the

What are you trying to accomplish by doing this? The audio of your voice is saved along with these requests, making it extremely easy to tell them apart from typical requests of the device owner.

And yet Apple requires you to download this update over Wi-Fi to receive it OTA. Sure you could update via a computer, but that seems to go against Apple's vision of not requiring tethering your device to a computer every time you need

> How do I know you're not logging my traffic and selling it? The same way you know any VPN company isn't. You just have to take their word for it. Why is the word of a fly-by-night VPN provider any better than a HN poster?

Honestly, I never understood the interest people had in companies providing VPN for personal use. The way I always saw it is if I was traveling and needed VPN while on public/unencrypted Wi-Fi, I would just VPN back to my home. Of cour

This is extremely unprofessional. Should all the AWS and Azure employees post "You're Welcome" once we see a HN post about Google Cloud finally getting around to supporting IPv6?

I wonder if Apple will apply this rule to everyone, which would be fair, or if they plan on letting big name developers like Facebook or Google continue to violate the rules without consequence.

It looks like a server-side misconfiguration. The URL is 301 redirecting to itself. My guess is the admin has a server side redirect to force http to https, but has CloudFlare configured to use http to the origin.
