With the likes of massive companies like Disney and Paramount running the show .. it's going to be a while.

Also, you do realise that these massive wages come from the obscene profits made by movies, in other words, if you want to make money, you need to spend it.

So, we can expect more security breaches?

Microsoft: Move along .. Nothing to see here.

A whole million? You thought there was only A grade and B grade movies .. wait until you see Z grade.

For context, Keanu Reeves was paid $156 million for the two Matrix sequels. There's plenty more actors getting paid over a million .. each.

This was what I could find. Several Caribbean countries are seeking clarification about their status, but that appears to be a blockade by the USA, rather than the other way around.

Similarly, the World Bank has advised its Columbian employees to avoid travelling to the USA after several were apparently deported.

Edit: Added Mexico after receiving this link:

I'd be surprised if this was the case, but:

Does this mean that ALS is entirely caused by external factors like the chemicals found in these mushrooms?

Better still, is it entirely caused by these mushrooms?

If so, that's amazing news for humanity.

If both your parents did a DNA test with the same company, and you are their child and not the result of a liaison with the milkman, you are 100% screwed.

If you are the product of a liaison with the milkman and the milkman didn't do a DNA test with the same company, you're 50% screwed.

If you were adopted, then there will be no impact from the DNA test, but if your parents didn't tell you, they're 100% screwed. (Assuming that your birth parents didn't have a DNA test.)

In other words, there's a non-zero chance that you're screwed.

What actual problem are you attempting to solve?

If you want pihole blocking away from your LAN, set the DNS for the device to adguard and be done with it.

If you're trying to do something else, give us some context.

So it's working.

Incidents like this are a perfect excuse for the bean counters and marketing experts to chime in and recommend that the firmware be updated specifically to block third party ink or toner.

There's no downside, the world is already trash talking your company, even if you didn't do anything wrong, but while it's happening, you get to sell a shitload more ink and toner.
