 ::: >''"100% connectivity with a different device at the same time as 0% with this one."'' This month, Cloudflare has been snooty, just at my favorite desktop. And on several sites, from APnews to odd hobby sites. All my newer laptops get in fine. I think Cloudflare is complaining about my aging O/S, which is silly ('''I''' am gonna infect '''them'''??) However I usually get the same robot-check, not a stall or spinner.
