I heard they had a lot of feedback along the lines of "I really like this game, but I'm not sure if other people will" (this from a friend who is friends with one of the artifact devs, so take it with a healthy dose of salt).

I've been really impressed with Cloudflare lately between this, 1.1.1.1, and warp. It's nice to see a large company find ways build up their business by supporting the public good.

The lack of Time Machine backup into iCloud is just baffling to me. That 2TB package has lots of room for backup. If they're worried about eating too much into shared space then let me pay for a time machine partition.

Looks like I'll be ending my dropbox subscription then. I only use like 18gb on dropbox so the $0.99 / month for 50gb iCloud plan is perfect for me.

How did a tool roll out changes to extra regions by accident? Fat-fingering a larger than intended volume in a single region I get, but does their tooling not require explicit opt in for regions? Why does it even allow simultaneous multi-re

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "a touch command", but you can always hit the mute button which physically disconnects the mic circuit.

You can use catchall addresses for this. Any ol email @ that domain that doesn't have an associated account gets routed to the catchall account. Protonmail supports this if you pay, as do a few others.

I think they're afraid that one brand will be so much more successful that the other goes away. Each brand has different flavor, texture, and nutritional profiles so if any of those are particularly important to you then it's hard

I've had overdone Beyond meat that just has the texture of rubber before, so can confirm it has a narrower window. I imagine that's why the Impossible Burger is only available in restaurants: it's easier to control the experi

I prefer the windows at the narrow end. Gives me more useable wall space. In fact my current apartment is much like your image (though with a bedroom on the side) and my previous was more like one with windows on the long side. I've go

I can't reliably play Dark Souls via Steam Link over a wired connection that's less than ten feet long. Google may have some special sauce that improves the situation but like you I doubt it would be sufficient for all games.
