I didn't realise Drupal is still around! ~~I remember when they forked from Mambo and I had to convert a few sites across. That was probably 20 years ago now!~~ this was Joomla - I misremembered

The hostname will be encrypted eventually (ESNI) but you're right that the IP address is visible.
Destination IP is starting to mean less and less these days, given there's a large amount of sites that use shared IPs rather than dedicated ones (for example, if they use Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, AWS CloudFront, etc.)
- It encrypts your internet traffic in transit
Note that most sites use TLS these days, so your data is already encrypted in transit.
This is a rare case where a piece of consumer electronics is going to be quite a bit cheaper in Australia compared to the USA! Usually stuff costs more in Australia.
The Switch is currently US$450 and will probably go up with tariffs. Meanwhile, it's listed as AU$700 in Australia, which is AU$630 before tax (all advertised prices include tax), which is US$385.
I imagine this is going to happen for a lot of devices. I'm an Aussie living in the USA and I never thought I'd see the day when buying stuff in Australia would be cheaper. Australia has better consumer protection too, around things like repairs/refunds due to major issues even outside the warranty period.
I wonder how long it took them to discover the error... And how long it took them to decide to just live with it instead of fixing it. Interesting.
