>“It is our corporate responsibility as part of the global tech community to promote ethical and responsible behavior. We firmly believe that parents are best placed to police their children’s online activity using the plethora of tools already available in modern operating systems. The law has the potential to send a message to parents that they no longer need to monitor their children’s online activity, so it is therefore essential that the Act is robustly enforced.
>Despite the law, those seeking adult content can still circumvent age verification using simple proxy/VPN services. Consequently the intent of the legislation is to only protect children who stumble across adult content in an un-protected environment. There are over 4 million domains containing adult content, and unless sites are enforced against equally, stumbling across adult content will be no harder than at present. If the regulator pursues a “proportionate” approach we may only see the “Top 50” sites being effected – this is wholly unacceptable as the law will then be completely ineffective, and simply discriminate against compliant sites. We are therefore informing, and closely monitoring the development of the regulations, to be published later this year, to see if they achieve the intended goals of the Act.”
Vista user here. I can confirm font issues after installing 7 windows updates on February 14. The bleepingcomputer.com forum concurs that the update KB3013455 is causing the problem.

The "technology" they speak off is a script that is probably based on one of the numerous wifi jamming fork using Aircrack-NG. The article mention that it is on a raspberry pi it could be the WiFighter (you can find it on Github).
Err I didn't looked it up, but I didn't know it could detect specific device types so I guess that's new, I don't know.
The article says it "block" Wifi, but I don't like the word.
How Wifi jamming works is that you flood the surrounding area with deauthentification packets.for the access point. All clients receiving it will disconnect themselves and attempt to reconnect. Since the deauth is flooding you will never get through.
>The program works via a USB network antenna.
aka a usb wifi dongle. Tech journalism at its finest. Can't jam with all device though, it needs certain functions. Check online for more info.

Free email with @yandex.com available in English, but if you want to setup an email with a custom domain, it's available only in Russian. :D Basically, the custom domain email settings are same on all services, but let me help you to setup your custom email on Yandex.Mail step by step.
Google has put an end to thier free custom domain email service since a long time ago, and finally Microsoft will also do the same thing.
There are many email services other than Gmail and Outlook with the same quality, one of them is Yandex.Mail.
I'm still using Outlook service for my personal custom email, but I think I must migrate to another service that is still free of charge.
You can register an email account on http://mail.yandex.com/.

TunnelBear has added our voice, we think the Internet is better private and uncensored, if you agree than now is a good time to add your voice:
Why is something so important to our freedom not discussed publicly?
1)TPP dictates that there be legal incentives for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to enforce copyright protection rules; forcing your ISP to monitor you, violating your privacy and incurring costs to ISPs and you. 2)TPP forces Internet intermediaries to disclose the identities of their customers to IP rights holders upon allegations of copyright infringement. 3)TPP is secret.

It is unfortunate that Hulu is blocking VPN service IPs”, said Andrew Lee, CEO of Private Internet Access.
For those looking for workarounds, a dedicated VPN IP could be a good quick fix.
Several major VPN service providers including VikingVPN, TorGuard, Private Internet Access, and others, are now dealing with customer complaints over the issue. “Private Internet Access exists to protect the privacy of netizens everywhere.
Many of our customers leave their Private Internet Access accounts enabled 24/7/365.
Hulu, the largest public movie and TV streaming service in the United States, has reportedly created an extensive blocklist of IP addresses which covers IP ranges of all major VPN services.
