Or does and doesn't care?

And this is something I particularly hate when MS tries to push some new UI change that nobody asked for. Outlook and Teams new UI for example:

MS: do you want the new UI?

Me: No

MS: I'll just add a new App with the same name to increase the chances of you accidentally opening the new UI. By the way, I'll make it difficult for you to switch back to the old UI.

And that's how I end up with 2 Outlook and 2 Teams.

On the positive side, that's just the work laptop because all my personal devices run on Arch.

I DNS blocked my LG TV services because I got tired of being served with paid content which I do not want to see but they give no choice to opt-out of. For example the recommended movies and TV shows from Amazon Prime. I don't have Amazon and I don't intend to get it. There should be an option to remove that but you can't. Same with the sports section.

So now the TV works as it should. It can't find the source for that content and just hides it.

The desire path is proving its resilience

There are plans for a road about 100m away but funny enough, one side belongs to a township developer and the other part to another. The 2 parts do not meet. One side is complete (up to their side of the project) and the other has been blocked with a construction hoarding for the past 2 years.

With the project not seeing completion anytime soon, people started to find their own ways around it.

Welcome to Southeast Asia! In some countries here road planning is an afterthought. Pedestrian or cyclist access is optional.

I've seen it a few times, both of the developers do better planning on their side (not great, just better) but when it comes to connecting to a neighboring area, not such a great job.

This desire path is right in the middle, so without it, it's a 7km journey left or right from where the picture was taken to the other side.

They mostly use inline JavaScript to determine if the dev tools are open. If open, then they put you in a loop that will only end of the tools are closed. Normally when this happens the debugger will "pause" at the line in question.

If you know how to use the "unlock origin" extension, you can then block the JavaScript inline function so it won't run. Then the page will not stop when the dev tools are open.

You can Google how to block inline JavaScript with ublock origin.
