Not to mention that they did start with the narrative that they start enforcing this on a certain date, but it took me 2 months over that to receive the warning/being locked out. I remember seeing people from Canada (one of the countries in the first wave) that still had not been forced off 4 months into the date they had set.

They appear to be taking it slow (not booting off everyone at the same time) to build this narrative that it's working fantastically so to not get a massive drop off in users (stock price drop) and waiting out for their competition to also move forward with this change. All of this while also adding more markets, dropping the prices in others and removing the cheaper plans.

That's the treshold for you to get a 1st degree burn. No, it's not instantaneous at that temperature, but it certainly denotes that it shouldn't get there at all.

Monkey's paw: Google buys it

It's my fault guys, just the other day I was thinking of how they had never raised the subscription price (in my country), unlike Netflix, which felt like they were raising it every year.

If you're still looking, the switch pro controller uses the same battery as the 3DS

Kid intended to watch a TV programme, but dad did a dad joke and made it seem like they were refering to the TV itself (the object).

The numbers were in-game character levels, not their real-life age.

Just pull the parking brake and accelerate until you feel the car slightly raising and then drop the parking brake.

Eventually you get a feeling for it and drop the parking brake before it's "fighting" the accelerator.

This might sound trivial to some, but I know several people that never use the parking brake in these situations and instead do a manic race with their feet and the car drops a couple meters back and they over accelerate to compensate.

RCS is a carrier-side standard (the sucessor to SMS) that is older than iMessage (circa 2008 iirc).

Some phone manufacturers started to implement it when iMessages was released, but it didn't really become a big thing until Google pushed it to become the standard messaging way in 2017.

The message of this video is that Apple has maliciously held back implementing the standard for years because they'd lose some of the selling points of the iDevices and would also end the narrative that "androids are trash, can't text them properly and look at how pixelated the videos are".

Long-form journalism predates google by a few centuries.

Out of the 15 paragraphs, it says it uses sound in the 3rd and explains the mechanism in the 4th.

I agree that they should've put it in the title or the lead, but this wasn't a news pice, it's a monthly column focused on analog buttons. The first 2 paragraphs rightfully contextualise the hardware to an era most of us don't know much.

Not OP, but you can skim a news article in 10/20 seconds.

Why should people watch videos that take 10x more time and, more often than not, don't offer anything besides narration since most just use recycled footage anyways?

You've gotta read anyways what he says since we don't understand Russian, but now we don't have as much control over the content.

Accessibility aside, I really dislike the video-centric internet.

Reddit will spiral down to a 9gag clone.

Back in the day, I discovered Reddit because people in the comments on 9gag would say a certain post was stolen from reddit.

I was a sucker for rage comics, so r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu (aka f7u12) was my gateway drug.

Weren't all charges against him dropped?

Yes, but there was also a ton of leaked texts of him speaking inappropriately with underage girls and it also surfaced past instances of him defending pedophilia on podcasts.

He's a liability to the IP and the people that work for it.

Olha, nem fico chateado, a malta submissa (em todo o site) que "só quero é o conteúdo, parem-se de merdas" que fique por lá. Ao menos aqui as pessoas são mais tech-savvy e com menos desabafos ridículos. Se os content creators e mods saiem de lá, aquele sub daqui a 6 meses vai-se tornar um novo portal da queixa ou reposts do TikTok.

Queixam-se de tudo e quando é altura de realmente terem poder algo, com o qual nem têm que sair de casa, só se querem continuar a queixar do pingo doce ou do futebol. Que se fodam.

Drugs are not legal in Portugal. It's decriminalised up to small amounts (ie personal use), which is different.

My understanding is that:

If you get caught with a couple of joints (or any drugs), they are confiscated, you are identified and you might have to pay a fine, do community service or go to an addiction consultation.

If you're over that limit, but not overly, you get the above + go to court and will likely receive suspended sentence and will have a criminal record.

If you get caught with a truckload (obviously for distribution), if it's your first offence you'll likely also get suspended sentence, such is the state of our justice. If it's not your first offence, you'll likely do jail time.

Allegedly Roiland hasn't been very involved in the creative process of the show since season 2. He just mostly showed up to the record booth (like Family Guy's Seth MacFarlane).

Dan Harmon (the other co-creator and) and the remaining writting team were responsible for it.

I hope they stay there so we don't get pushed out of another platform. Albeit, yes, I'm low-key smirking, intrigued to see what will push those users over the edge, if that even ever happens.

It's because you need internet to download the firmware. It's done through the app.

The dude had been having inappropriate conversations with underage teens for years (i.e. grooming) and defending pedophilia on podcasts/interviews.

Lmao at Marko wrestling a photographer during Verstappen's post-race interview.
