#Firefox has a new hidden setting auto-rejecting #cookie banners (not just hiding them eg Brave). Piloting in 🇩🇪 in Private Browsing but anyone can enable:
Go to the URL about:config
Set cookiebanners.ui.desktop.enabled ->True
Go to Settings->Privacy, turn on Cookie Banner Blocker.

My million dollar idea I want someone to steal and do, so I can be a customer.

"Dumb Stuff" we sell electronic appliances that aren't Internet connected. That's all.

That's it. That's the pitch. I would buy the <bleep> out of this company if their electronic gadgets were even half way decent, and repairable.

Electronic, no wifi, regular screws to open it up. That's it. Do those three things, and you can be sold by this store.

I will pay this business to curate and find these devices for me.

You know how when you rent a VPS or a shared server from a host somewhere, and they're all like, "We'll register your domain name too!" ?

It's a trap! :ackbar:

Don't do it.

If for any reason, your host's admin dashboard stops working and they decide to stop answering support tickets, you're kinda locked out of your domain name.

You can't transfer the domain out to an actually-breathing company without a blessing from your current host. Especially if the domain is locked.

Yes, technically you can complain to ICANN about your domain registrar, and maybe something will come of it (after waiting forever), but the trick is, with those hosting companies, they're usually not actually your domain registrar.

The hosting companies often outsource the domain registration process to another company (sorry, Mario) and often these subcontractors don't provide direct customer support. If you complain to your actual registrar, they'll just boot you back to the absentee host and you're back to where you started, waiting for support responses that will never come. Meanwhile, you're effectively locked out of making any DNS changes.

So, the moral of the story? Register your domain names from actual real domain registrars whose whole business is just domain names.
