Once again, Google make positive changes for their customers.
You the user of the browser are not the customer, you are the product. Advertisers are the customer and the Chrome Browser is the cattle feed they use to keep you fat, dumb and happy for the customers.

Once again reinforcing the fact that "the cloud" is still someone else's computer. If you want control over your data, you really need to look into self hosting. Otherwise, don't be surprised when that someone else decides to change the rules for using their computer. I also can't help but think that the more the internet matures, the more the version we had in the 90's makes sense. Web 2.0 was a mistake.

It'll be four hours long, the first three of which will be spent building up a final climactic fight. The next 55 minutes will be filmed entirely without lighting with characters sitting around either bullshiting or fumbling about with each other. Four minutes are used to show one of the protagonists farting in the big bad guy's direction, causing said big bad to fall over and die. And finally there is one minute of picking out a new king by drawing straws. The credits will be written and filmed entirely by llamas and the last minute and at great expense.

Did it a couple weeks ago and already received my refunds.
Ideally, I would balance by tax withholding such that I owe a small amount some tax time. And that payment would then be delayed as late as possible to provide the largest marginal value for that money. But, I'm lazy and instead have gone mostly with the defaults and that results in me getting a refund regularly. So, why let the government hold onto my money any longer than necessary? As soon as I have my documents in hand, I file.

While it was fun to watch the GME stock shitshow, the fact remains that the short selling hedge funds were right: GameStop doesn't have a good business case anymore.

GME should have died years ago and this is just the people who are currently holding the bag trying to scrape some value off the bottom of the barrel.

Alternate Theory: Mermaid babies look like starfish. That "bra" is actually the normal process for mermaids to carry and feed their young.

"We are investing more, not less, into the evolution and growth of this game," NetEase continued. "We're excited to deliver new super hero characters, maps, features, and content to ensure an engaging live service experience for our worldwide player base."

Translation: We're gonna monetize the fuck out of our playerbase.

The honeymoon period is slowly coming to an end. We're just about to reach the bleary eyed, "what the fuck did I just do?" period.

Yup, learned as a child and was absolutely bewildered as a teenager when I met people who couldn't. Made sure my kids knew how as well. Child drowning injury and deaths are sadly high in the US.

The tactical shooter aspects of Rainbow Six all but died after Ubisoft bought Red Storm Entertainment. After R6 Rogue Spear, the series started morphing into a bog standard run and gun shooter.

At least on Android (I'd assume iOS does it as well), you can set Do Not Disturb (DND) to turn on and off automatically, based on the time. You can also designate certain contacts to be allowed to bypass DND, so the phone will ring normally. I setup DND a long time ago, because I don't want to be bothered by random shit while I am trying to sleep. However, my job is such that I might reasonably be called at 03:00 and need to roll my arse out of bed and start working. So, the number they call from is set to bypass DND. My elderly mother and brother are both similarly set to bypass. It all works out quite well and if some random marketer figures out my number and calls in the middle of the night, I don't get woken up to talk about my car's warranty.

This has become my theme song.
