Doorbells. I had to replace a relative’s doorbell recently and the old one that lasted 60 years was built 10x better than the incredibly cheap model that all the hardware stores carry.

The options are either a cheapo doorbell that has an LED in it for no reason, a Ring surveillance doorbell, or a very expensive reproduction doorbell sold on some random website.

This might be known already, but I bet that Microsoft decided to switch Edge to Chromium instead of forking Gecko/Firefox because Google either bribed them or threatened to lower Microsoft sites’ ranks in search results.

Otherwise why would MS use a web browser controlled by one of their very few competitors?

Edit: maybe they were enthralled by the promise of using Proton/Chromium based “desktop applications” (which just contain an entire Chromium browser in their install directory) to cheaply create apps that people are forced to use in their jobs, like Teams. Which is still awful even after they made it a full UWP desktop app. Like Skype already was.

Men would literally rather maintain a seed ratio for private trackers and operate a seedbox than pay for movies.

Ubisoft is master of Europe/Canada. Only the pirate fleet stands before them. Oceans Video game DRMs are now battlefields.

I’m always on a VPN usually on WiFi unless I’m driving. I get a day or so if I’m not working and not taking a lot of photos, and since my phone is usually plugged in while I’m driving around for work I don’t charge it at night except for weekends.

I should probably plug it in at night, does anyone know how the feature that does a slow charge until your alarm is scheduled to go off in the morning affects battery longevity?

I think Aldi is so successful in the US because they don’t do this. There is an aisle or two with random crap, and seasonal items in another spot, but I can be in and out with everything I went for in ten minutes. Trader Joe’s might do this too, I haven’t been to one in a long time. I wonder if Whole Foods or the other upscale stores fuck around with their shoppers like that.

Smaller grocery chains or independent grocers didnt change their store layouts from what I remember, but they went under or were bought out by the big chains that are already very profitable but still try to wring everything they can out of their captive audience.

Since it is based on Chromium, but promises to keep the new Google tracking out in the future and maintain compatibility with extensions, I can see why it would be recommended. But only as a backup to access a site that won’t load in Firefox.

we’re back to the days when Firefox first came out, except instead of some websites only working with IE, they’ll only work in Chrome/Edge.
