The poorly designed feature itself isn't about showing ads, it's just showing the top item of the news feed. The news feed can have ads, depending on what the developer publishes to it, which is why I never scroll down to that section.

This was a survey. They weren't gathering data without consent.

It's hard to imagine police officers not backing their boy.

Luckily builders would set aside space in buildings just in case someone had an idea for how to move between floors without a ladder. Made retrofitting stairs a breeze. You can't even tell that they were added later most of the time.

There are benefits to them being enchantments. They are permanents, so can bounce it back to hand and replay. They can also be flickered and there are creatures that can relock/reunlock the rooms. Being an enchantment instead of something new allows you to interact with them with spells like disenchant and you can splash them into enchantment decks instead of them being stuck to one Room deck forever.

That's not a super fair comparison, since B-Boy and B-Girl breaking styles are very different. Women usually lack the upper body strength to do as many power moves that most of the men do.

I have a weird issue where my USB headset doesn't show up in my list of devices whenever I turn my computer on (including waking from sleep) and I have to unplug and replug it. It's a small thing, but it's a little maddening when you think about how you wouldn't have to deal with it if you had just booted into Windows.

I need to try changing ports. I was considering trying it, but I was being stubborn. That fixing your problem gives me hope.

Heh. If you're so smart, why did you make a typo? I'm not going to listen to an idiot who doesn't know the difference between and .

You've got to be on constant alert or your phone's autocorrect changing lets to let's at the wrong time will derail the entire conversation.

The spec saying border routers must have an option to allow internet access is a weird thing to call Enshittification.

One, it has nothing to do with the actual concept of Enshittification. This isn't an online service that lured you in with cool free features and has slowly degraded the experience to increase profitability. It's a spec for a type of product that is adding more standardized features.

Two, it makes things easier for the consumer so you don't have to do a ton amount research about which features the different Thread 1.4 certified routers you are looking at have.

And three, if you were using the lack of an internet option as a feature for picking a router, you can do the exact same amount of research on border routers to see if the internet access toggle works.

You could also just not give the border router internet access.
