In Australia, the nation’s media and communications watchdog has announced that it has asked local Internet service providers to block customers from accessing six more unlicensed online casinos and associated affiliate marketing domains.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) used an official Thursday press release to detail that the move is part of its larger campaign against unlicensed or potentially shady online gambling sites and comes only two months after it put out an analogous request regarding the domain at ThePokies.net. The organization also divulged that its ‘blacklist’ of proscribed services now runs to over 500 names and includes such enterprises as Ninja Spins, Pokies Parlour, CasinoAus, Arlekin Casino, Thebes Casino, Horus Casino, Tangiers…

That’s according to a report by Reuters, which starts by saying that people with inside knowledge are claiming that Nvidia is planning to release an Arm CP…

What’s the most shocking bill you’ve ever got in the post? Personally, I’m still financially recovering from winter 2022, when a dalliance with an electric heater landed a fat £300 invoice on my doorstep. I write about videogames and subsist on coal soup, and there was Octopus Energy sending me a bill it presumably intended for Jeff Bezos.

Could be worse, though. I could be the guy at Google who had to open its $2.5 decillion fine from the Russian government (via The Moscow Times). Yes, that’s decillion, which is a one followed by 33 zeroes. That means Russia wants Google to pay it $2,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. The number in rubles is even more absurd: ₽2 undecillion, or two followed by 36 zeroes.

For reference, the W…
