I don’t think the public would be confused if they called the windowless seat a wall seat and made attempts to clarify. They could even warn the buyer when they select the seat.

They said that because you said “I’m not going to buy a 100 pack of rechargeable batteries” because that’s a ludicrous idea for a typical parent. Families have two kids on average (trending downward) so how many toys do you think each kid has that requires batteries? How many battery powered toys are they actually using at a given period? Can they share toys? Can you teach kids to charge their batteries and move them? You read into it and didn’t even figure out what or why they were calling you out.

Imo this question is pointed at young adults or teenagers because older adults are just going to trade liquidity for some other form or pay off some huge loan/bill.

“Jewish space lasers” “stepmoms aren’t real moms” mtg as the anti-pedo faction… What a world we live in

And yet your example is an outlier. They haven’t said anything wrong, you just want to be right. They do not have a hundred batteries they need to replace constantly- just you and your large extended family. And no one said there’s zero use case for disposable batteries in this thread (go ahead and find the quote, you won’t).

How people still insist fox news is news when they’ve gone out of their way to say they’re not is beyond me. And wow I’m so sorry your fil consumes all that

I don’t think you are the norm with the amount of batteries your kids consume. Most people don’t have that many toys nor have that many kids.

I love this comment because it’s hubris in a nutshell

This guy would probably conclude that a US company operating in the EU would also need to apply GDPR to US users. He is so confidently wrong

Great analogy I think I’ll use this

The more unique it is, the more easy to find you. That’s why anti-fingerprinting is a problem because removing tracking makes you more unique compared to millions of devices with the same data tracked.

Can you confirm you are physically in the EU? If you are not, they do not care because as you pointed out, “it protects data subjects in the EU”. If you are not in the EU, then your location DOES matter. If you are in an EU territory (or territory where international agreements deem it applicable) even as a non-EU citizen, then that would suck. It doesn’t sound like lottery to me- be physically in a territory where the law applies and get gdpr. Expecting laws to apply outside their jurisdiction is crazy

Yet this same article in paragraph 2 literally says it only covers EU citizens.

“This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union”

Why are you surprised when they point this out?

Steam does more than launch games, you realize this, right? They want gog to have a launcher on Linux that will manage their library for them, not just launch their game.

You make it sound like drm didn’t exist before steam or like steam isn’t a form of drm itself. Old drm was more basic and far less nefarious, like entering a cd key or codes in your manual. This later escalated to online activated cd keys. At the very least, these forms of drm didn’t run all the time like steam did- I remember steam getting huge pushback (from myself included) because it ran like absolute dogshit. Later forms of drm got worse with checks in the discs that collected data on your pc (securom, anyone?). Steam did a lot of good things but it did not erase drm- it merely created another form of it (I.e. You no longer own your games, you are buying licenses they can revoke at any time)

It’s basically having website cookies completely isolated in the same profile. You can also create containers for each website automatically so they can’t talk to each other. If you like having multiple emails from the same provider open, you can do that without logging out or making a new Firefox profile, so it’s like having all your settings and add-ons with the website flexibility of another profile.

The sad part is it wasn’t always this way and the government always paid even when the budget wasn’t set in stone. As with a lot of things not working, this problem started with Nixon deciding he would punish programs he didn’t like by defunding them. Also it is hard not to blame the GOP when they control all branches of government- you’d need to be sleeping to ignore that or just delusional

They literally laid off hundreds of thousands of employees and are now worried about deterring people from working for them. How did he miss the signs flashing in front of him?

You can fine tune your process but the most basic is a funnel (I.e. V60, chemex, kalita) with a paper filter on top with grounds on it that you just pour hot water on top and wait for it to filter down. Coffee machines do all this but they generally produce worse coffee outside of shops because no one cleans them as often as they should
