Isn't it ironic that the operating system called "Windows" offers one of the worst window management user experiences?

Amazon. Amazon Pay has been the worst offender and every purchase using Amazon Pay has leaked my Amazon email to third parties.

I believe Twitter is trying to be better though and it appears they do chip away at this. They have also been in a difficult situation between cancel culture and free speech absolutism. Determining the reasonable solution is hard when the extreme edges and vocal minorities are yelling at you. My personal hope is that Twitter will further crack down on the very low hanging bots / trolls / alt accounts - there are many especially young accounts with handles like @Name359345809 which don't contribute to the platform in any way.

Free Speech for individuals does not mean that we have an interest in allowing foreign and potentially hostile actors to run propaganda campaigns using the ad targeting machine we have built using social media. They can say what they want and every citizen can do so as well, but we should not allow asymmetric amplification.

Given that mountains are a result of geological activity, this is for sure the worst place to store it. You'll have a better chance digging out a big hole in the desert - which the EU doesn't have.

That doesn't matter. If they want to export TO the US they are subject to US export laws. The US has a history of their economical and political power forcing companies that have no business with the US to do their bidding to stay in business. Just look at the Iran sanctions.

3 months in advance is the legal limit, it's great. We also love our contract bindings for 2 years. Cunsumer friendliness here is heresy.

> Part of the problem with electronics is often a brand new unit costs less than replacing a faulty part

This is only partially true. The true cost is hidden and at least by average people like me immeasurable. We are putting a lot of cost out of sight if you consider the environmental impact of e-waste.

I am fairly certain over 3 years passed since then.

This sounds incredibly illegal. I can't imagine trading like this is wanted by legislators and even if Tether is currently backed 1:1 there is no way that legislators will allow this to keep happening eventually crashing the entire Tether currency into the ground.

I am not a US citizien but I'd still like to thank you for taking time out of your day to explain. I wish politics would generally be more transparent about their intentions but I guess it wouldn't be politics then. It's always hard to find out the intentions of thresholds and numbers as the models behind them are never communicated through the media.

Spotify became entirely unusable for me when I started using Bluetooth headphones on my computer. When I turn them off, Spotify goes into some weird attempt to play every single song in rapid succession as it has no Output device to play to. Finally crashing so bad that I have to end the process and reopen it. It doesn't help that I've reported that a long time ago and even though the QA triage should have marked this as a low hanging fruit, nothing has happened. // rant end, I know this post doesn't help anything but venting is always a form of self-therapy haha
