In the modern era, we take navigation for granted. We open Google Maps or Waze on our phones, and instantly, we know exactly where we are. But cast your mind back to the mid-2000s. The smartphone revolution was just bubbling under the surface, and standalone GPS units were the hot-ticket item for tech enthusiasts and sales reps constantly on the road.

The primary hurdle is driver compatibility. These legacy units rely on PL2303 or FTDI USB-to-Serial conversion chips. Modern operating systems like Windows 11 often block older, unsigned drivers. To make the unit talk to a modern PC, you frequently have to hunt down legacy Prolific drivers from the mid-2010s and manually force installation via the Windows Device Manager.

I think its the start… there's worse to come.

Interesting. I'm also blocked and I'm using Google's DNS and not Virgin Media's. A simple VPN service can still access Pirate Bay as predicted.
Argh, me hearties and shiver me timbers. I hope it doesn't happen in Australia. I'd never be able to "evaluate" anything.
Its a terrible move, I'm disguised by the UK corurts and the government/s who helped/allowed this to happen.

Italy routinely blocks gambling sites which are not registered with the state gambling monopoly (http://www.aams.gov.it) … which would appear to violate the spirit of free commerce within the EU.
Virgin Media blocks access to Pirate Bay http://t.co/X6mTVw0t
I’m another person who thinks it’s a terrible decision by the court. It won’t make a dent in piracy, but just makes it easier for more censorship of websites in the future than private companies such as music rights holders disagree with for any reason.
Sites in the U.S have already been mistakenly taken offline and then brought back a year later, for example. If that’s someone’s sole earnings, then they’re utterly stuck for 12 months without cash, and presumably might not even know until one day their traffic drops off a cliff.
The only good thing is that at least I can avoid using ISPs that have complied with these court orders for the time being, along with using a VPS etc, and that it may encourage more people in the future to check out the Pirate Party, Open Rights Group, etc etc.
