Erath County Texas, same issue. I've been waiting quite a while. Seems Texas is blocked specifically

Lufkin Texas, Not working.
So Opera is the next big web. Cool. It appears we have all been captured via an internet marketing bubble! This is the beginning of a cool ride for me personally. I wonder what other states this is in(Just saw a Florida) Who else discovered this via Aria. After wanting an AI companion that can see your screen. Because from what I gathered, this thing can see what we're doing and make recommendations and such, sounds like an advanced Grammarly. Unless AI is somewhere we haven't been told yet. And Opera is getting people to show them testing its features. It's being influencer marketed. I am also just super out of the actual loop so this will part of my creative story telling for my AI. I'm going to make it super meta and sassy. Fantastic.

Hi!
So apparently Aria is not available in Texas (despite the FAQ not listing it as a restricted region).
It was reported as a bug but there hasn't been any fix nor comment in two months so I would assume that restriction is intentional? Is there any chance we could have the reason behind that restriction? Is there a state law that prohibits Aria from operating here and that somehow doesn't affect ChatGPT and the like?
Thanks in advance -

@leocg So if you moved my question here does it mean that it is a bug and not intentional?
If so could we know the status of its resolution? That doesn't sound like one that would take two months to solve? -

@saphir Don't know, but the place for that discussion is here.
I guess that if Opera didn't mention Texas as a place where Aria is not available, then it must be a bug.

Being a US resident, Aria states that It is not available in my country. The FAQ says it is. How do I correct this?

@chuzordie Are you in Texas, too? It seems there's a bug (hopefully) where Texas is considered an unsupported country...

I am in Texas. Why do I get this message from Aria? "This service is currently not available in your region. Available countries are listed in Aria's FAQ."

Aria gives an error message saying it's not available in my region and referring to the FAQ for a list of regions the AI is unavailable in. However, there aren't any locations in the US listed there. I'm in Texas and do not have a VPN

I'm currently in Waco, TX. It had me go through all the crap of creating an account, verifying said account, phone number, etc. just to tell me this exact same message!
So I opened Aria, received message, minimized Opera, turned on my VPN and selected any state But Texas, returned to this error message and retyped same question.... It worked! Turned off VPN, repeated. Stopped workingMy Suggestion:
Find a trustworthy VPN and simply connect to a different area. There are several really good free ones if you don't want to pay. Just don't use the VPN option within Opera, it doesn't help -
