To play devil’s advocate:

The Netflix equivalent of this is that the show just disappears (the Marvel shows) or you get the first seasons and not the last or even the last and not the first (at one time Prime had part of Lucifer and Netflix had the rest).

The only reason that it went from free to paid (instead of just disappearing) is that they lost the licence for streaming it under Prime Video but they didn’t lose the licence for selling it.

They’ll probably say that it’s for the environment and that you should use a reusable bag for it.

Companies are good at doing things to benefit the environment when it also benefits their bottom line.

There’s a few Ts in that comment. There are one or two people who replace “th” with that symbol in the communities that I subscribe to.

I also find it mildly infuriating.

I’ve suddenly been getting regular Windows notifications from Adobe asking me to set them as the default PDF app.

Very annoying when I use Adobe reader once a month or so to sign documents.

They spent billions of dollars to develop and train the AIs that they use. They’re not going to remove it for fucking up someone’s YouTube channel.

They wouldn’t remove it even if it caused someone’s death (which it probably has considering that they have been shown to be very bad at therapy and that people go to them for therapy).

They don’t rely on the server to sound an already scheduled alarm but they do rely on the server to set the next one for a repeating alarm.

This is the same as all the games that advertise themselves as having no ads but they do have ads for in app purchases.

For some reason they don’t consider those as being ads.

Those messages are not aimed at everyone passing by. They are aimed at people already considering buying a truck and hope to influence their decision.

Damn if that’s the case, my paranoia is gonna go overdrive.

Btw, has anyone here actually got hacked? I feel like the media always overexaggerates “hacking” and its mostly people just using weak passwords (user error), not really hacking.

It’s more likely to be that they found out your login credentials, yes.

They might find a site with crappy security where they can try many usernames and passwords without getting blocked or they might actually hack the site and get the password list.

Having a strong password, not reusing passwords and enabling MFA goes a long way towards protecting against those scenarios.

So when mum calls to ask if we need milk, she’sa villain!

It’s all about levels.

It’s entirely different to have a 30 second conversation about picking up milk compared to joining a work meeting.

Especially when that work meeting is a video call that is distracting the driver (they are looking at the phone in the picture).

There are definitely those that would ban all phone calls when driving.

They were proposing that the OP buy the linked cup as it can contain more coffee than the machine can brew.

Goat’s cheese and caramelised red onion is a good topping. The goat’s cheese doesn’t replace the mozzarella though.

I’m not sure that Wensleydale would work though.

It also does it sometimes if you’re on a VPN.

Also, most people don’t even have a static ip address so they might have banned a different location altogether and the banned ip address moved.

I use it to do things at the same time as other things. I can add something to the shopping list when I’m cooking or turn on the fan when I’m getting ready for bed without stopping what I’m doing to click buttons. I find that it’s really good for things that can’t easily be automated but you also can’t (or don’t want to) put on a physical button.

I actually use Alexa as I haven’t had time to investigate HA voice control but the principle is the same.

It’s training itself to pass those mouse based “I’m human” checks that some sites use.

They don’t have Edge installed so they are being requested to get it so that they can open the link.

Lots of apps override the default behaviour when opening links and ask you to use a specific browser. I actually do use Edge and have been asked if I wanted to use Chrome.

Yes, I did miss that bit, sorry.
