I was worried about this at first, but it probably doesn't make business sense to try and pivot CNN's slant that way. It would alienate its current audience and damage its brand. I can't imagine many Fox News enjoyers wanting to watch CNN even if it shifts its slant more right. So what would the target audience be?

I suppose if they did it gradually enough, they could potentially normalize more right leaning viewpoints to its audience without them noticing.

I had a similar experience that led me to Knoppix when I was a kid. I was tinkering around with a hex editor and messed up the Windows MBR with it so I found and burned Knoppix to a disc at a library. I remember my mom complaining about things being... different

The fund manager casts those votes. They publish how they vote under a "Proxy Voting Guidelines" document. At least I've seen such documents from Fidelity and Vanguard

This never bothered me much since I can skip them immediately. I've been trained at this point to immediately skip a minute or so into every video

I have an EVGA 3070 and also had the sag issue. My case came with a part to support the GPU though, but I didn't realize until I solved it another way: I just doubled up those plates that you screw the GPU into so there was no way it could pivot and sag.

I had a similar thought. Plus, if you're reading the text on the internet you might just assume something written weird or poorly is written by somebody whose first language isn't English.

I had a very similar thing happen to me. I bought some AirPod Pros on sale and received normal AirPods and the Amazon order history indicated I ordered them when I know for a fact I had not. I was able to exchange them and all, but it was super frustrating.

I have used Uber Eats before and they are constantly sending me emails with $30 off coupons for first time orders only. Are they hoping I give them to someone else or something?

>Also, it seems like they mix the inventory from different vendors, so it ends up being a crap shoot whether you get the original, or a knock-off, and the reviews reflect that.

I've noticed this so many times. I've stopped buying any sort of health products like supplements or even electric toothbrush heads from Amazon. It scares me seeing reviews about fake products in stuff like that

I recently had to deal with the headaches of cookies and iframes. In my case, it was learning management software that used our external tool loaded in an iframe via LTI. I was specifically dealing with Safari but understood other browsers could become as strict as Safari for cookies in iframes.

After pursuing methods of getting user consent to use 3rd party cookies via the storage API, the end result was the user jumping through hoops by repeatedly clicking buttons to invoke user interaction in different contexts to eventually get a prompt to allow cookies. It did work, but there were strange bugs with it on mobile Safari... e.g., the prompt to allow cookies never appeared after clicking the button but after putting Safari in the background and going back to it, it did appear.

The UX of all this was pretty undesirable so we just gave up and had the tool open in a full window and wondered why we didn't think to do that from the beginning.

Personally, almost never. My phone is always on do not disturb with work and family contacts added to my favorites to bypass do not disturb. If an unrecognized number is calling from, say, my dentist's office then they usually leave a voicemail and I'll know whether to return the call. Otherwise, I just assume it's spam.
