The ubo extension does work in orion, but I remember having to go somewhere deep into settings to make it actually be enabled. I don't remember exactly how I did it but eventually after a few restarts of the browser I got it working.

I did compare against other adblock systems on ios and found it to be the best option, as other adblocks either gave broken webpages or just didn't work at all.

What is the actual problem with this tho? The US has used Hollywood to influence worldwide discourse for generations.

-80c is 193K. Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_superconductors there are 3 superconductors that work at that temperature or higher. But they all need very high pressures (150 GPa or higher). Which is close to the pressure in the centre of the earth (380 GPa).

A more reasonable superconductor that's widely used is YBCO, which at 95K (-178c) is cooled using liquid nitrogen. And I believe that's at normal pressures.

I couldn't figure it out so I switched to the audio prompt. It sometimes helps during captchas.

Some audio captchas are just impossible tho, like recaptcha where it's simply impossible to hear what they're saying.

I wish google cared about people with reduced eyesight and listening ability, but no, it doesn't make them any money.

Those are some good changes, I also change to something like:

    a:visited {
        color: gray;
    }
to help see which items on the front page I've clicked on

I'm unsure what you mean with mainstream laptop, but with my Asus zenbook I had these problems:

* Sleeping doesn't work, hibernate sometimes work

* Keyboard buttons for screen brightness doesn't work

* Ambient light sensor doesn't work

* Vsync doesn't work

* Processor always highly clocked, draining battery

I was able to fix some of the issues in Ubuntu by compiling kernel addons of some sort. When I switched to Arch I could with the help of their Wiki fix all of the issues, but there was lot of text config files to edit, and some more compiling of kernel stuff. Even after that I still couldn't get vsync to work properly. Watching youtube while the screen is tearing all the time is very annoying.

If you want to run linux you should get a laptop that is validated to work, like framework or validated dell laptops. At least then you might only need to fix one or two issues.

It seems to be common with "edgy" responses from corporate twitter accounts lately, I don't see the difference with this?

To be clear. Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu when _combined_ have more customers.

It's important to note that Disney pushes hard for buying these 3 together as a package for a reduced price, therefore basically tripling some customer numbers.

I used to make $28k/year pre-tax as a junior dev (java+frontend, quit job 2 years ago), so your recruiters aren't that wrong.

What do you mean with minium in this case? When I still had a job I used to make $28k/year pre-tax in Sweden as a junior developer (java + frontend). This was in line with my other junior colleagues.

Sorry for late reply. There's clicks in the Newgrounds game too.

My issue is that any external links to my channel now no longer works. Luckily I can update some of the links, but I can't do that with tweets.

I'll just have to be better at uploading so this hopefully won't happen again.

Firefox has a lot of "clicking" sounds for me at the start of most samples. Like one instant square wave with no length.

Plays super laggy for me if it's an unfocused tab in firefox.

Tesla's plug support max 250kw charging, while CCS2, the standard in EU supports 350kw max.

The trade off for the CCS2 plug is mainly that it is a bit bigger than other plugs, but it's really nice to have a standard across almost all of Europe.
