Used a VPN to my home while in Mexico. Returned a week ago and all my devices (including those that have never been in Mexico) now show they’re in Mexico. Google’s IP correction form says it can take a month to fix.

    A lot of Japanese websites I visit are the opposite. They look at my browser’s language setting and display everything in “English” even though I’m clearly accessing from Japan.

    The problem is, their “English” sites are often machine-translated messes that I have to manually select the language. Even more annoying is when that language setting gets reset every time I click on a link.
