I still miss my Xperia Play. It’s been over 10 years… Still my favorite phone.

IIRC I downloaded Firefox 1.0.4 way back in the day, and kept using it until somewhere around version 6 or 7. Moved away when they started copying Chrome on everything. Rapid-release inflation was the last straw.

*yawn*

Yeah, Subaru is getting rid of the Legacy sedan in 2025 and keeping the Impreza hatchback because the Impreza shares parts with their larger SUVs. The Legacy doesn’t, so it makes them more money to get rid of the car.

The lowest tech car I could find was the Mitsubishi Mirage G4, and they told me it’s being discontinued this year! I think that leaves the Nissan Versa as the only subcompact entry-level vehicle on the market.

What I care more about is making cars… cars. Visit a dealership in the US and it’s 98% SUV/Truck and 2% sedans.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All I know is that if my country was entirely digital in payments, I’d be between a rock and a hard place.

same checking number, new account. The branch manager was 100% sure that any autopay using the current card would not be automatically updated because the new card would not be considered a successor to my current card.

She even showed me the scenario play out in the card ordering software.

Yeah, I can’t explain the limitation either. That’s how all my cards worked before when they changed numbers after expiration, but the branch manager was very clear that the current debit card would be canceled not reissued. So it’s a new account under my name with the tap card. They even showed me the software used to order replacements, and my card type was cleared marked DO NOT USE.

Correct. The card is not tap. The only cards they can order now are tap, so to get a replacement they have to cancel the card and issue a brand new one, messing up any autopay tied to the current number and leaving me without a payment method while the new one arrives.

This would suck so bad. My debit card’s chip went bad and the bank can’t reissue me a new one until it expires. I’ve been using cash as a fallback when I don’t want to do the ‘3 chip failure timeout then swipe’ dance just to purchase some soda.

I always got the impression it wasn’t a learning AI but rather a very limited “Has the player pressed the run button? if YES: AI can use run next cycle”

gradients, animated GIFs, “best browsed on”, and a frame once you click enter. Only thing it’s missing is an index page.

I know a few services that would ban a user doing that, thinking that the client is compromised.

Microsoft is certainly doing an excellent job driving away Xbox users. What else do they have? Azure maybe?

Yikes. I’m here for a civil discussion, so if you don’t want to discuss this with me and instead just want to attack me because you think I’m on the opposing team… well, I guess that’s what the block list is for.

I wish you luck in life.

It’s not an excuse though. It’s right there in the error message.

Where are people getting the impression I think google is some kind of saint who can do no wrong? I don’t even see the “proof” that is being used to say I’m coming to google’s defense. Just a few anecdotal theories… just like I provided.

Bot can automate views. It’s why Youtube keeps trying to move towards “engagement”. Comments, likes, etc, all require an account, which is an extra hurdle for bots.

uhhh… what?
