> Update: Brendan Gallagher, Beale's SVP of development, said in a statement: “We are disappointed in the decision not to pursue this opportunity for Tucson. [...] We see it as a missed opportunity for the city, as this project potentially represents tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue, hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure to serve the community, and thousands of high-paying local and union jobs.”
and I'm "potentially" the next president of the U.S.
They would have to build a road to datacenter, datacenters themselves, all GPUs etc put together. That requires "thousands of high-paying local and union jobs" for short time. "hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure". Then a dozen of armed guards with dogs.
One thing I have started doing is using a VPN with the location set to my home location 100% of the time when home. Then, when logging in abroad I use the VPN to my home location.
It seems that using the VPN 100% of the time has trained many of these smart services to fingerprint that as my default fingerprint.
Of course, this doesn't help when interacting with services that detect/block VPNs. Or the even more annoying situation where VPNs are blocked and also all traffic from the country you are in is also blocked (occurs occasionally when trying to access US sites from SE Asia)
edit: WRT comments mentioning that you can call your bank or set a travel notice: that is how things used to work. Chase, for example, no longer lets you set a travel notice as they use a "smart" automated system. That said, my Chase travel card used via apple/android pay has never given me trouble so their system does seem better than most
if you go back to the first few commits you see it started similar to some of the small JS snippets people have suggested here. It is interesting to see how it has evolved
It was such a well engineered piece of software. It worked so effortlessly and without any issues. It was so good that I had it installed on my family members’ laptops as well and used it instead of FaceTime for simple calls
In what way? Either there is a need for variants, or there is no need for variants but it is perfectly okay to make them, or there is no need and it's not okay to make them.
Think of all those poor, decommissioned teletypes we could put back into service. Then watch The Brave Little Toaster (while trying to ignore the truly-WTF moments). Then weep that this isn't a rely future.

Google wins 15 days in orbit! Whee!
The comments are pretty great, too.

Just hang in there, say "pizza", and make sure no one sees your duck.
