Ah, yes. Having lots of money and an expensive sports car = completing/winning the game. Sure.

Generally, yes. However, depending on how you get internet, it might be much more difficult to change an IP.
On cable, there is no guarantee that restarting your modem/router will change your IP. Lots of cable ISP have the policy to reassign the same IP as long as the DHCP lease can be renewed.
There are tricks like trying to unplug the modem for a long time, or change enough of its configuration/reset it to get a new lease. Or use a separate router that can change its MAC address.
Even if dynamic, some people can be "stuck" with the same IP for a while. In my case I can have the same one for months.
EDIT: I nearly deleted this comment.
Bah, sound quality is just okay. It's fine for podcasts and electronic without bass, but it's kind of annoying for some types of music.
It works but.. meh.
Headphones on a bike are illegal in my province. So I once bought a bluetooth speaker for my bike. I don't really like imposing my music to anyone and tried to keep it at a minimum level but stills didn't like it. So now I use bone conduction headphones. Unfortunately they are also in a grey area where they could also be illegal.
In short, if you want to listen to music on a bike here, your only legal option is a speaker. Anything else is unsafe and could traumatize a poor car driver that hits a cyclist that didn't hear them coming (according to the police here).
Otherwise get a car and blast the music with the windows open like a normal safe person. or close the windows and don't hear anything around, but this is much safer than having headphones while cycling, obviously.
Same with walking or jogging with headphones. Are you out of your mind? Some poor car driver could hit reckless runners jumping in front of their car because they couldn't hear it coming.
No, society wants everyone not in a car to keep quiet and don't ruin their silence, with all the soothing car noises, so it's safer this way. No headphones on a bike, it's not safe! You need to hear that car blasting music that's coming at you.

I was going to say that I did last year but it was on a different community.

I'll go take a short hike and make a post a bit later.
That's me, kind of. I work in IT and it's difficult to pry me away from a computer or a smartphone. However I love cycling and camping so depending where I go, I often want to bring a computer or a second smartphone.
The laptop is usually a bad idea while bike touring and I don't use it often, so I stopped trying, unless it's a cabin. But my old phone is perfect as a second screen while I use my main one to browse lemmy and stuff like that.
I'm currently typing this from my camp site in a national park. I cycled 80 km to get here and after a short hike, I'll be back to my camp site for a small fire and chill with my phone, and probably some raccoons.
As someone that had to learn English as a second language, that man has a strikingly limited vocabulary for someone that's supposed to have it as his native language.
Someone should make a list of his greatest hits, like nasty, and disgraceful.
Walk?! Like animals? Don't you have cars and drive thrus?
The rural region where I grew up has always been neglected by big telcos, so there were multiple local ones offering the same as the big ones, but for cheaper, or deep in the countryside.
Every village had its local phone company because Bell didn't think they were profitable enough to deserve service. Unfortunately the last independent provider, Maskatel, was bought by Bell in 2018.
There is only one left, Cooptel, and it's a cooperative. This is how my parents living on a rural road can get FTTH. If it weren't for the fact that it's a cooperative, Bell would probably have bought it too.
It's frustrating to see that big telcos won't put a cent into building a network into rural areas because they see no profit in it, but once a small local company becomes successful in doing that, they often end up being bought by big telcos.
And there I am on my bike being told by the police to be careful because I could traumatize a car driver that hits me.
Great to confirm that you can be fucking high while driving a lethal multi ton vehicle and if a cyclist of a pedestrian gets hit, it's gonna be an "accident" from the driver, and the cyclist or pedestrian's fault anyway, for not wearing a helmet, or not being visible enough.
