There is a small sign in front of the facial scanner that says "Photo verification not required."

You can always say "I decline the photo verification", and they will check your license like back in the old days. This is what I have been doing for years now.

Completely agree. To me, HDR feels like the system is ignoring my screen brightness settings.

I set my screen brightness to a certain level for a reason. Please don’t just arbitrarily turn up the brightness!

There is no good way to disable HDR on photos for iPhone, either. Sure, you can turn off the HDR on photos on your iphone. But then, when you cast to a different display, the TV tries to display the photos in HDR, and it won’t look half as good.

FWIW, I also have an Amex with YNAB and have not had any issues with it in the past year.

Another vote for YNAB. It is expensive, but for me it pays for itself in a month.

It can be as open-ended or as detailed as you like. And the tutorials / videos are worth watching, as well.

Sounds a little desperate now.

MSFT should just give the employees space to make their own decision.

This comparison doesn't seem up to snuff.

The government has the ability to prosecute crimes, and has a monopoly and the use of force. Private companies have neither.

One of the two is clearly more dangerous if they have the ability to control your speech.

This item appears with so much backing hype and attention. Yet I am not sure I have seen enough substance behind this yet.

Will be very interested to see reviews and more physical examples of this product.

I found this the other day as well. It actually only applies for certain browsers. I think they are doing the redirect via user-agent.

Orion Browser (by Kagi) can still access i.reddit.com.

This is the only way I will use mobile reddit. I don't need an app for something that can be a simple, clean web page.

I use the Magnet.app extension, which supports basic tiling commands on MacOS.

It would be a sad day if we are judging our laws by China's. We have different structures and values.

Thanks for reading and for sharing your experience. Much appreciated.

I'm not trying to spread propaganda. I'm doing my best to make sense of the different narratives being told by different parties. It's all we can do in these crazy times.

You have many good points. This article was not comprehensive and could have dug deeper into many reasons. I'll respond to one bit:

>To say that pro-western and anti-Russia attitude in Ukraine was fabricated by the West is a bit of a stretch, to say the least.

I never used the word 'fabricated', and I don't think I said anything that robust. I said "funded", which is different. Ukraine is a large country, and there are plenty of different political opinions and movements to pick from when supplying funding.

That is true - it takes two to tango.

That said, far too much of the present discourse leaves out that in many different situations, the US has added fuel to the fire in Ukraine, instead of taking opportunities to lessen the chance of violent conflict.

> most likely it will bring them all closer together.

You are right, in that this will most likely be the short-term action. NATO / EU will be more tightly bound to the US out of necessity. But necessity does not engender gratitude and goodwill - usually it precipitates resentment and struggle. That is why in the long term, I predict poor relations between NATO / EU.

Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.

Thanks for reading. Would love to hear specifics on which facts were false / one-sided propaganda.

My conclusions may or may not end up being true, but hopefully we share the same premises of the conflict.
