And what are you using now?
You are being pedantic.

> Step 1: cryptically warn people that their rights are under attack.

They are, UK is heavy surveillance, there is an article on Wikipedia dedicated just to this subject. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_surveillance_in_the_Unite...

> Step 2: tell people that you have been banned from saying any more.

They said their ad is "banned from TV" because they offer a way to circumvent internet surveillance.

> Step 3: Conveniently make no mention of the fact that this highly controversial 'banned' ad is absolutely watchable, in the UK, on youtube, with links to it from traditional media adverts.

Because it is about TV... what does YouTube have to do with this? It says on the damn Ad "Banned on TV".

Hell Allan, apologies for going fanboy on you but just wanted to tell you that DataTables is amazing and we use it a lot in my circle of friends. You made an awesome product!
> This is entirely based around fear that the US government may suddenly stop supplying Ukraine with Starlink connectivity

And is that not a valid fear? Why is Elon/Starlink's denial of threats to cut off Ukraine more trustworthy than Reuter's reporting?

Isn't the US government capitalising on fear as we speak in the recent Tariff wars and such?

Starlink needs competition and I hope that will come.

Same here, Google's offering is very weird though, a simple question to Bard about what it's using also outputs the wrong result. https://imgur.com/Vb1STQe
Could you recommend a tool that does subtitles and generates a .srt afterwards, from your experience?

I have a friend that translates everything from English for his grandmother, so she can watch movies that she does not understand, but he does it by hand in a video editing program. Would love to help him out.

The ones that leaked it are First American Financial Corp.

What wireless HDMI solution are you using? Could you leave a link? I was thinking of doing the same.
