That's interesting. Do you have further reading? I've seen AFACT v iiNet, but that doesn't look to be the source of "cost of renting", just that the ISP isn't responsible for their users.

> The email is optional and only if you want to see the calibration curve and the question breakdown sent to you.

That still doesn't make sense. Why can't it just be shown on the page?

Why do I need to sign up to get the results? Why couldn't it just be on the page?

Replying to the wrong person and trying to replace a phrase that wasn't used. Bravo, you take the cake for low effort post.

I doubt that's the issue. Phones already have a baseband processor and OS in control of the modem. Also evidence if viability is all the Windows laptops with WWAN.

That depends on the width of your browser. On my mobile, nearly every paragraph had one word or part of a word as the last line.

Well, he writes often enough, for long enough, and being who he is, he's got to be a large part of everyone's training data.

Kinda disappointing that the post that first reported the Ars Technica article and retraction got ~50% more comments than this one at about the same age. Seems people just love to outrage and complain than wait for the promised post-mortem, which if anything, came early.

I have no issues with mygov in firefox (on linux of all platforms). I don't even whitelist ublock origin on that domain. Check your other extensions.
