Icq's chat feature definitely did around 97/98/99. I remember it being different from the IM feature in that way.

Can't YouTube serve up the videos in formats that the original Chromecasts can consume? Surely either YouTube can know which Chromecast is making the request, and serve up an appropriate quality, or allow the Chromecast to request a lower quality version of the video. To be clear, I don't expect to be able to see videos in higher quality than was available at the time of purchase. I expect to be able to 'watch YouTube' as was advertised on the device's box.

This infuriates me. Google must know about this, and can surely lower the bitrate for these old Chromecasts, yet have chosen not to. Every time I encounter this on my old Chromecasts it reminds me of how they ruined the Nexus 7 with its final major os update. Blatantly trying to get people to buy new devices. Do no evil, my arse.

And they will save you a fortune on vet bills compared to allowing your cat to roam free outside.

Looking forward to the first gpt-3 version of 'it was the best of times, it was the blurst of times'.

Has that site been hacked? When I use Chrome's simplified view there is a paragraph injected talking about and linking to live porn.

Here in Australia most people now buy food and drink by tapping their bank cards on a reader. Can't be long now until a particularly smart crow sees this at a beach side shop, and steals a card to copy this. Is a shopkeeper obligated to serve other species? I for one will welcome our new flying thief overlords.

Isn't the most likely case that his advisers told him to do this?

From the article: potatoes, pork, lamb, apples, cucumbers and Cheerios.

The addition of potatoes and apples makes the case far more interesting imo, as it makes the diet closer to what many people might think is sufficient.

Reddit doesn't require an email either - they just use a dark pattern on the registration popup to somewhat hide the fact. I doubt any bot makers fall for it, so I don't think they did it to prevent bots anyway.

It's not afaics. It's on f-droid though.

I was thinking more along the lines of meditation for stress, and IF for weight loss. I've seen both work well amongst non smokers, so hoped they could work for smokers too.

The few people I know who still smoke do it for stress and weight issues. I have casually mentioned a few healthier alternatives to them but none seem receptive so maybe there are other, more personal reasons.
