How about a smart TV, a streaming stick/box (e.g. Roku, Amazon Fire Stick), or a games console? Pi-hole will work for some types of ad on all devices, but I'm not sure how it'd work for video ads in an app like YouTube - part

Many Patreon creators allow you to see how many patrons they have. The most popular Patreon creators have something like ~50,000 patrons. Anyone able to pull in that many patrons is likely to have millions of viewers on YouTube. The proport

I would not want to run an unsupported OS of any variety. Modern web browsers will stop working on older operating systems - so will other apps. Not only is it a massive security risk, but it will simply become impractical for most users. B

Windows 10 was released in 2015, so they will have offered 10 years of support, which was the standard policy in place ever since Windows Vista (Windows Vista, 7, 8/8.1, 10). Apple does not support any macOS version for that long, and

The UK government told ISPs to put the filtering in place voluntarily, or else the government would make a law requiring it. All of the major ISPs and mobile networks now do it on a voluntary basis.

I think this just hasn't been tested in a legal capacity. The accessibility options of various captcha platforms leave a lot to be desired at best. At worst, they simply block users that can't see the visual challenge.

I guess that it's not great to have such a request come in, but if the customer hasn't used the service at all for months, what would you actually lose by giving them a refund?
