Windows Explorer taking multiple seconds to load and often a bright flash of a white background during the load was exactly what pushed me over the edge to Linux.

The right click menu on the site is quite the trick. It took me way too long to figure out it wasn't the native Firefox menu.

ELRS is fine but Crossfire is considered by many to be the superior radio link. The TBS Tango 2 is a great transmitter and comes with Crossfire built in.

I honestly don't even feel like I live in the same world as the majority of commenters on the Internet anymore. To be outraged because apple crushed some stuff for an ad is a new low, or I guess a new high for fake hysterically.

Yup, exactly what we use it for and also to check the time. I always notice the lack of Alexa when I'm on vacation and have to get out of bed to turn on/off all the lights.

I've always heard that MDMA refers to pure MDMA, while E refers to MDMA that has been cut with something. Must be a colloquial thing.

I once had a meeting were 3 coworkers and the CEO were all advocating for disabling zoom because, "other sites do it". I argued that it doesn't hurt anything to leave it enabled and refused to disable it. 3 months later Apple removed disabling zoom from Safari and I felt validated.

The browser could also have a setting for eu (gdpr) mode that would enable the cookie notifications. As there is no way for a website to automatically determine if a user is a eu citizen.
