I guess Sony makes a lot of other hardware products already, maybe that experience gives them an edge over Microsoft.

Why does it matter if you plug 15amp device into a 25amp oulet? Surely It will only use 15amps unless it short circuits?

That seems a bit much. Not great when you have to go through the process everytime you update your site. Or more likely, you will forget you implemented this & also how you did it in the first place..

I have noticed these malicious chrome install rediects have odd behaviour, sometimes they trigger sometimes they don't.

The often only trigger once, when you visit it. And that's it.

I think it is to make it harder for people to report it, as it does not always pop up/redirect. 'maybe it is just your machine, seems ok on my end'

Requiring physical access to the keyboard by the attacker first, makes this less impactful.

With physical access the they keyboard/computer, they could plant any other number of devices/bugs or extract information.

I disagree, It is a free image hosting platform for sharing images. There is nothing wrong with linking to it.

If you upload or want to share what is on the platform, they would prefer if you link it that way, as is their right.

It is a business after all. And If people want to hotlink directly to an image they should pay up and host it themselves.

Offtopic, but...is it just me or is there a bug on the 'hide related artices' button? Pressing space while focused on it triggers the action twice. So it just opens/closes.

I rarely visit anymore since the partial redesign. For one thing the page loads are very long, with an annoying splash page.

Two, the endless scroll, but they have your profile button on the footer and other essential links? How has that not been brought up?

The site overall has annoying and bad ux.

Makes me wonder if the site has essentially been abandoned by the owner. At the least it is neglected.
