How does that work for people with non US/UK accents? I ask because all of the transcription software I've seen will work absolutely fantastically on even the most garbled and redneck American accents, and the vast majority of British ones too, but as soon as you get to Scottish/Welsh/German/Australian/really anywhere elses accents, it has a complete breakdown and you can't make sense of it at all

For something cheap, my vote goes to name cheap. Their support was actually better than I expected too. For something private njalla is really good. Not sure what's a good mix of both though, maybe CloudFlare? I know you can move your domain to them, so I presume they also let you register directly through them.

This confuses me too as an Aussie. Partly because we do our taxes July-november, but also because it's just a simple form that's mostly pre-filled here too. Businesses I believe do have a more complicated form to fill out, but as an individual person you just hop online, read through a few pages of pre-filled info (or what most people do: just spam next through it) and you're done. They tell you how much they've recorded you paying in tax, you confirm it, then they tell you how much money you either need to pay or you get refunded (or nothing at all if you got your taxes spot on/don't need to pay tax)

I take it what OP meant is that a lot of the top results are ads - even if they aren't shown as such. Like how half the crap uploaded by large youtubers these days is pretty much an ad for a specific product, although there's no way to tell until you click onto it (unless you use sponsorblock)

Yeah. I have no doubt behind closed doors they're still trying to ~~bribe~~ sorry I mean "lobby" the politicians to repeal right to repair, or in some way cripple the legislature

Yeah nah. This is such an American way to look at the world

It seems like most countries have some variation of this issue. When I had to apply for government assistance here in Australia, there was a whole debacle because as I discovered, I don't actually have a middle name but rather 2 first names because my birth information was filled in incorrectly. So that caused issues because all 3 of the IDs they demanded listed different information. My student ID didn't list my second name at all, my learner driver permit initialised it, and my birth certificate listed it in full.

Then my government service account messed things up too, because certain services have my 2nd name listed as either a middle name, or just a second first name so they decided that because I have different government services linked in "different names" I must be committing fraud

I was at a hotel once and went to the bathroom while heating up some food. The microwave finished and beeped like 10 times then beeped every 15 seconds until I opened the door. I don't really understand what problem that's meant to fix, it's not like the microwave keeps microwaving after it beeps and shuts off, nothing's going to catch on fire

My drier at home does this too, although every 10 minutes as opposed to seconds, and I don't understand that either. Washing machine I could understand since if you forget about it for too long it might go mildew-y, but once my drier is done, it's done, and won't turn back on until Its turned back on. A beep every 10 mins might be nice as an optional toggle or something for forgetful people, but it's just plain annoying

Telstra here in Australia seems to have this as well. Not sure about duckdns specifically, but last night I found out that they block a few monero mining pools. I emailed them about it, and apparently it's based off of virustotal ratings. They wouldn't turn it off, but they told me it's "trivial to bypass" (their words), suggesting google or CloudFlares DNS, or a VPN
