Easy: Amazon just gotta invent new problems for gamers! And then sell the solution.

That's how I feel about most Microsoft products actually.

Excessive number of open tabs, anyone?

That's GoodTimesWithScar, a gaming youtuber primarily playing Minecraft. He's part of the Hermitcraft SMP and his shirt in this photo reads "MC Championship" (MC being short for Minecraft)

From his Twitch Q&A:

Q: Why do you have the tubes in your nose? A: I have to use oxygen at times to help me breathe better.

Q: Why are you sick? A: I have a Neuromuscular disease that makes my muscles weak.

As a German, I often find the French protests inspiring. They seem enthusiastic and convinced that they can make a difference, whereas in Germany many people use their perceived insignificance as an excuse for why it’s pointless to even try.

OMG, thank you! Until now I thought I was the only person to be fucking annoyed by this shit.

Was soll der Quatsch denn heißen? Wer ist hier integer? Bei uns heißt das Ganzzahl, verdammt!!1!

Yes, it was the case of Lydia Fairchild

From Wikipedia

Fairchild stood accused of fraud by either claiming benefits for other people's children, or taking part in a surrogacy scam, and records of her prior births were put similarly in doubt. Prosecutors called for her two children to be taken away from her, believing them not to be hers. As time came for her to give birth to her third child, the judge ordered that an observer be present at the birth, ensure that blood samples were immediately taken from both the child and Fairchild, and be available to testify. Two weeks later, DNA tests seemed to indicate that she was also not the mother of that child.

A breakthrough came when her defense attorney,[1] Alan Tindell, learned of Karen Keegan, a chimeric woman in Boston, and suggested a similar possibility for Fairchild and then introduced an article in the New England Journal of Medicine about Keegan.[2][3] He realized that Fairchild's case might also be caused by chimerism. As in Keegan's case, DNA samples were taken from members of the extended family. The DNA of Fairchild's children matched that of Fairchild's mother to the extent expected of a grandmother. They also found that, although the DNA in Fairchild's skin and hair did not match her children's, the DNA from a cervical smear test did match. Fairchild was carrying two different sets of DNA, the defining characteristic of chimerism.

The new requirements will "only" apply for "certified" Android devices. I'm pretty sure, devices running a custom ROM aren't certified, especially if you don't even have Google Services installed. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to a bright future for Linux phones.

I've heard (so no certainty), that they analyzed plastic trash collected from beaches and found plastic bottle caps to be a significant part of it. So they thought it would be worth trying to solve that problem.

Uff, der Deppenapostroph

I could also imagine DRM, though not directly privacy related, being a thing. Like the issues of freedom and openness are probably also important to many people who value privacy and might therefore prefer GOG or something over Steam.

Really? That's interesting, because I've never noticed burn-in on any of my OLED phones, even though I did use them for many years each. But then again, I've always wondered why seemingly nobody talks about burn-in on phones, while there is a lot of fuzz being made around it on computer monitors.

Except the inside of today's monster cars is just as small as ever.

It is, but probably not in the way you think. Because this game is unbelievably trashy and cringe. If you like that, you'll have fun!

I'm not happy. Are you?

Exactly the same at my job. And it really shows in the code quality, or lack thereof. And then sometimes they wonder why it becomes more and more complicated to add new things. But most of the time they just think that it's perfectly normal that way and are completely oblivious to all the ways it could be improved. I once talked to my boss about it and he basically replied with "Well you know, there just isn't a code style that everybody likes, so there's no reason to even try."

It's from one of the shows listed under this paragraph: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Morgan#Philomena_Cunk

Morgan is perhaps best known for her portrayal of Philomena Cunk, an extremely dim-witted and ill-informed interviewer and commentator on history, culture and current affairs.
