SMS 2FA was also optional everywhere until it wasn't.

He's giving the restaurant feedback that this is not what the customer wants, in the only meaningful way to provide feedback.

Electron or nothing

"Nothing" is an open space for someone to provide a better solution so often better in the long term than a bad implementation.

Honestly pictures in restaurant menus have been pretty bad long before AI. I don't understand how it can be accepted to show a picture that looks nothing like the served food.

It's particularly sad when its institutions doing that who should really have the capability to host their own videos.

* Removing popular "AMA" mod (AMA subreddit is kinda dead now, it used to be a huge event)

The huge organized celebrity AMAs already felt like a death of reddit on their own.

the baseline remains

Did it though?

It's always entertaining when people proudly display their lack reading comprehension.

The response to that should be to restrict the events calendar and similar dynamic functionality, not to restrict the 99% of users who are accessing what should be 100% staticly cached HTML.

Have you ever looked at an old reddit comment thread.

   -+ Thanks, that's just what I needed.

I noticed they logged me out when I happened on a link recently. I don't think this change will make me log back in. The value of the site has already crashed, now the only question is which site will manage to capture the mainstream link/image discussion next.

This is because appending site: reddit.com to a search query is basically a surefire way to find results written by genuine humans.

This hasn't been true for a while now. A lot of what you find on reddit these days feels incredibly fake. It's like there should be a variant of Goodhart's law: Once a forum becomes known for genuine human writing it stops being a forum for genuine human writing.

You are attacking a straw man instead of answering the question.

Why not? "At scale" is not an argument on its own. This is something where scale helps you because the number of different hardware you need to support is independent from the size of your customer base.

And if you really can't act responsibly "at scale" then you shouldn't be allowed that scale.

Exactly. If there is a legitimate use case for sharing your connection it should be a separate apps users intentionally install.

They would be willing if they were themselves held liable for the illicit activity originating from their network otherwise.

There is really not good excuse to bundle this functionality with an unrelated app in the first place.

We have this invention called money so that individuals don't need to wrangle complex swap trades and instead sell the things (usually their time) that they are OK with selling with informed consent and buy the things they want without having to give up things they don't want to or don't understand. If selling your internet connection was a reasonable thing to do there would be dedicated apps/boxes for that instead of this being packaged into random apps.

Mind sharing what HDMI CEC adapter you use?

As for remote control - why would you want one for the monitor. For the PC I'm using an Air Mouse which is just a remote gyro-based mouse with keyboard buttons with a driverless USB dongle that acts like any other USB HID. I also have a miniature no-name wireless keyboard with a touchpad but rarely need to use it.

TCP only does NOT rule out DDoS, it just limits it to a subset of potentially less effective methods. All DDoS means is that you get a bunch of machines hammering a system.

Its your problem if it updates itself to show ads (and of course exfiltrate whatever it can see / hear).

How old are these and how often / how long are they turned on? My OLED TV is over two years old now without any issues even though it gets frequent usage.

Want to stream Netflix? Disney+? Hulu?

No thanks, I prefer owning my media in a way that corporations can't just take it away whenever they feel like and where I can use (open source) players of my choosing.

I agree

One can't expect that every driver package submission from every vendor is thoroughly vetted every time

Why not? Microsoft isn't a struggling startup. They can afford to do just that.

The headline isn't a lie, even if you can technically nitpick it.

The manufacturer implemented choices to deliberately install the software when the monitors are connected. The mechanism is not important to why this is outrageous.

We're not talking about people voluntarily installing proxies, we're talking about proxies piggy backing on apps that are marketed for an entirely different purpose.

Terms and conditions are not the get out of consumer protections free card that you think it is.

Fringe / activist views about copyright pretty much describes open source / free software so why do you think that is an argument against doing this?

There is no burden of proof for them as they have no obligation to provide a service to anyone.

I am interested in living in a world where creative works were not motivated by money and influenced by the incentives that come with that.

Why should anyone motivate you if what you have is just interchangeable "content"?

Did you also stop reading articles beyond their titles then or is that a more recent development?
