VPN limiting your bandwidth? Sounds like a CPU issue. You'll be surprised how much CPU overhead it takes to encrypt and decrypt traffic at such high speeds.

They LET us KEEP our data... so they're NOT (yet) using their market power to do what they want?
I think this headline got it wrong: If MS wants to do business with Europe, they have to follow our privacy laws or face hufe fines and ultimately the boot (which would benefit nobody).
For a meal with a soup as a starter you'd set the table like this:
Fork, plate, knife, spoon
Now take away the plate and you have the, for ne most logical way of putting cutlery into the drawer.
This asshat is also just beating around the performance bush that doesn't exist, only to avoid calling the firing a layoff. Disgusting.
One warning, though: After moving, you'll probably need another Google account again, to use the Play Store... it sucks.
I did as well, but then I went Microsoft and never looked back. Google's platform still feels like a shitty startup with missing stuff everywhere, compared to Azure (or AWS).
The only thing I'm missing is Google Photos, but there are self-hosted alternatives out, that I'll try soon.
I mean, they kill services willy nilly. Sure Gmail will probably survive, but the rest drove me away (Reader, Music, ...).
Regarding your Android purchases: At the time of my move I went through my list of apps I bought and tallied the ones up, that I still used. It was less than $50 of repurchases.
Don't let those old purchases hold you back. Cut this old baggage loose.
Evidence, that something doesn't exist?
Here: ...
You can also use this evidence freely to prove, that you didn't receive the package that you ordered.

So much this! Why is it OK for us to waste our most valuable resource, time?? If you waste company time or assets, you'll be fired.
They ALL are on green screen. There isn't anyone int his video present "in person"!
So if I look at a painting study it and then emulate the original painter's artstyle, then I'm in breach of their copyright?
Or if I read a lot of fantasy like GRRM or JK Rowling and I also write a fantasy book and say, that they were my Inspiration, I'm breaching their copyright??
That's not how it works, and if it is, it shouldn't be!
Sure, if a start reproducing work, i.e. plagiarizing the work of others, then I'm doing sth wrong.
And to spin this further: If I raise a child on children's books by a specific author, am I breaching copyright, when my child enters the workforce and starts to earn money???? Stupid, yes! But so are the copyright claims against LLMs, in my opinion.
They do, in the EU. If you fuck up your customer's data, you'll face fines consisting of hefty percentages of your yearly revenue!
