J'ai dû apprendre le français parce que les bases de données géo-IP sont des déchets.
So many sites defaulted to French due to shit geo-ip databases. So many account lockouts because of fears credentials got hijacked due to shit geo-ip databases. So many "sorry this isn't available in your country" messages because of shit geo-ip databases. So many stores defaulting to Canadian dollars because of shit geo-ip databases.
They're so annoying to be on the receiving end.
