"I don't want to hand over compete kernel and administrative control of my PC just to play a game" seems like a pretty reasonable line to draw.

Our answer? Throw a few “speed bumps” onto the road with 2FA and hope for the best. Sometimes that works – but sometimes that mobile's SIM has been cloned and it's all for naught. Speed bumps provide the illusion of safety and security, without actually doing much to slow the escape vehicle. To do that requires a bit more of a rethink.

Brings up 2FA only to complain about the very worst form of it that's arguably worse than just having a strong and unique password.

Yes, SMS 2FA does provide only an illusion of safety, because it's garbage and people have been warned against using it for years.

I am not. And if that's not what's implied by their comments then I legitimately have no idea what they're suggesting and would appreciate an explanation.

So your suggestion is that libel, defamation, harassment, et al are just automatically dismissed when using online anonymous platforms? We can't hold the platform responsible, and we can't identify the actual offender, so whoops, no culpability?

I strongly disagree.

You understand that there is a difference between being not permitted to produce/distribute material and being accountable for libel, yes?

"Freedom of the press" doesn't mean they should be able to print damaging falsehood without repercussion.

I can't be the only person who reads "I'm open source" with the same cadence as "I'm on a horse" then hears the Old Spice jingle in my head, can I?

Also who the fuck ever thought it was a good idea to use the music video versions for songs instead of the song version, when we're in the music app, should be fired into the sun.

Agreed, this is infuriating. I'm in the music app, searching for a piece of music by it's exact name and artist, and I know that it's available on YouTube Music.

Here's a lyric video uploaded to some random asshole's YouTube channel. Or maybe you want this awful cover version from this other asshole on YouTube. Oh, my mistake, you wanted it as performed by the actual band? That you included in your search? How about this phone camera recording of a live show.

It's compete garbage. Made even worse when you're searching by voice command while driving and can't just quickly correct bad results by looking through the list yourself.

3 is possible if the physical run to your home is in bad shape. I've known two people who had weather dependant internet due to that.

Again, that makes as much sense as holding Staedtler responsible because someone used their pencils to duplicate a copyrighted work.

At the time of this post both the game and proton had been updated and the game was working again.

Adding DRM to a two year old already cracked game is still an insane decision, but the problem of it breaking the game was fixed relatively quickly.

Speaking it out loud is a great way to remember many things.

"Keys, wallet, phone" as you get ready.

"Door's locked" as you leave.

"Oven's off"

Etc

In addition to what atmur said, EVs don't have the baseline inefficiencies an internal combustion engine requires just to keep itself running. ICEs waste a huge amount of energy just running, which gets lost as heat, vibration, and noise. EVs have the advantage of being able to run just as much as needed, so you don't throw away huge amounts of energy at low speeds.

The efficiency curve of an ICE vehicle generally peaks somewhere around 70-90km/h, due to a combination of wasted energy at low speeds and gearing ratios. EVs peak much lower, generally in the 35-55km/h range. This is due to not having the low speed overhead of an ICE, but still being subject to high speed inefficiencies like rolling resistance and drag.
