I've found that contacting regulating bodies/government agencies is often the best way to get a resolution when a company is shady. They will rollover easily once they get a call from the government telling them they are in the wr

Yep, a local pub used to give large portion sizes on in person or takeout orders. Then one day we ordered and it was like half the size as normal but of course the same price. Thought it was maybe just a fluke so we gave them a second chanc

My ISP still doesn't even support ipv6. From my limited understanding that itself would already make it a problem to access an ipv6 only site.

The video linked is also a small YouTuber with not many views on their videos. Looking at the comparisons it actually gave a pretty close count. Sure it's not exact, but considering it's a small niche YouTuber it seems to be givin

Part of the problem for me is that sponsor spots in videos are so common now that I feel forced to run SponsorBlock. If I'm already having to run one extension just to enjoy the experience, then I may as well also use Adblock and not e

Curious if this device you linked would also work to test things like the power bricks themselves and not just the cables? Would love to get rid of some low performing cables as well as the older power bricks. Edit: Based on the descriptio

I realized this is exactly what has been happening for me. Because of even how early things like Christmas shows and stores switching into Chrismas mode happens it really does make it feel like Winter is late. But really it's just that

Governments in Canada have tried to pass similar laws and have literally made statements saying 'Stand with us or with the child pornographers' [1]. It's quite obvious they use these tactics to make people have a hard time ar

I actually think part of the benefit of AirTags for Apple is to help build vendor lock-in. Say you own 5-10 airtags over time. If you switch to a phone like Samsung you essentially are giving all those tags up, or you have to keep that old

Nobody is forcing you to use it... Others like myself find it useful and to be a huge timesaver. If it doesn't benefit you, then just don't use it. Why must people be so vocal about not liking something? I get that you don't

I'm not the OP, but I find a lot of the time the University program isn't too relevant and it's really the work experience that matters. For example, I used to work in our IT department that handled the CS/Math departmen

Some companies do go out of their ways however to try and match that 50:50, or to get "equal" representation in races. Which really just turns into being discriminatory hiring, but they'll call it "diverse hiring".

Yeah most people just call it Torn right now, but yeah the game is still going fairly strong. They released a mobile app which helped drive some more popularity to the game again. The mobile app is really just an in-app browser wrapper for

Yeah, sure! The game is called Torn. It is a text-based MUD style game. People use lots of tools/scripts when playing it to improve things. Some mobile exclusive users do actually make use of apps like Kiwi on their Android phones in o

Yes I think in app browsers should still follow parental controls, and I don't see why that wouldn't already be a thing on devices. If I can use a VPN on my phone and have that block sites for me, it seems like it should be pretty

I would assume this is what they do. Places like Discord and Facebook will usually cache it on their CDN and display the image from their CDN. Even if I direct link an image on discord, it essentially just rehosts that image on their CDN an

Yeah you're so right about that. People my age will just pull up sport streams like it's just a regular simple thing. Often it's so easy that I've realized many people don't even realize it's an illegal stream.

It's the same reason why I often throw a emoji on the end of a sentence to a friend. Sometimes the sentence on its own can sound aggressive or hostile and a quick fix for that is a little emoji that can help make sure my tone is clear.
