Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Sometimes I come across an interesting article but soon after clicking on it, a paywall pops up.

The trick is to immediately click on "Airplane Mode" and the pop-up doesn't appear.
