    Why my browsers suddenly think I'm in the U.K.?


    While of course I don't travel these days, for other reasons I was checking on hotels in NYC. I get a selection of hotel websites but they are all xxx.co.uk

    And often (but not always) when I look for some item I'll see the prices in pounds.

    Why could this have started and how do I stop it?

    My windows version is 1903 (enterprise) and I use Chrome but I get the same thing in Opera.

    Note: Someone had a similar issue in 2019 and said "uncheck automatically detect settings in LAN Settings and it solved my problem."

    Is this the solution and if so why?

    why my window is not compatible with my chrome browser?

    Your question reads:

    why my window is not compatible with my chrome browser?

    I suggest you reverse it:

    Why is my Chrome browser not compatible with my Windows 7?

    This would immediately lead you to an answer:

    1. Unistall Google Chrome.
    2. Download & re-install Google Chrome.

    Why exactly is ATi considered be better at HDMI?

    I plug my HDMI cable into the card, then into my TV. Those are the steps that I have to do. All the steps you list make absolutely no sense to me.

    Why my browsers suddenly think I'm in the U.K.?

    My new Opty 165 OC

    I'm happy with it. I just wish my second core wasn't so sensitive. I think my first core would be happy at 2.8. My only suggestion is looking on ebay. Sometimes there are some on auction that give you the steppings. That's how I found mine from tr740. He had it on auction w/ steppings. I paid around 165. Great deal, when you know your getting a brand new cpu with a great stepping.
