If you’ve got credit card paranoia, Privacy.com has a solution for you. I personally just rely on my credit cards theft/fraud protection programs.

Agreed.

I somewhat share this sentiment but I was also just answering the question. There are actual reasons one would want to host documentation/etc on a already realized provider vs infrastructure they’d have to configure and potentially pay for themselves.

Takes time and resources to setup a web page. Takes 5 seconds to spin up a discord server or a telegram group and they handle all access control. Not my preference, but for ease of deployment a lot of people prefer to launch there.

I don’t personally disagree, but I don’t know what sort of business challenges they face. Also I should add that 132 Million number isn’t traffic or transactions, that’s verified customers that have made at least 1 purchase. That all being said there is definitely a redesign/restructure/rebase needed, but the ship takes crew to keep it sailing even if it needs remodeled/repaired/etc.

Sites at that scale that cannot afford errors, downtime, or system breaches operate massive IT teams just to keep the systems running. That’s before even touching Logistics,Advertising, customer service, seller outreach, brand management, human resources, etc, etc. Ebay in 2023 had 132 Million customers. That’s 12,000 customers per employee per year, or 32 customers per employee per day assuming they worked the full 365 solid. A rather lean storefront actually, probably propped up significantly by the labor of their third-party sellers.

If it’s not receiving security patches then it’s not a good candidate to use for 2factor. Risks are low but anything without security patches becomes a minor speed bump to bypass as published exploits will likely exist that are trivial to implement.

It’s a massive game that was absolutely a labor of love, but it’s Rockstar we’re talking about here. They turn love into microtx and milk it till it’s dry. Then it’s to the meat packing facilities for a little mobile/console porting so it’s innards can be broken up to be resold 😂. No real fault to the devs, art team, and story team that absolutely did put love into the game though.

Wyoming contains some of the longest stretches of US road without available services. IE: If you get stuck because your car broke down, you’re gonna have a bad time.

Here’s to betting you wouldn’t hold this opinion stuck on the side of the highway in the middle of Wyoming or something similar.

It should be noted that this car does not yet qualify for Lemon status and qualifying for lemon status is actually harder than the average person would casually think in most US states. So it’s actually entirely fair that they wrote the article, as they do with every car in their long term test fleet. Manufacturers use all sorts of tactics to hide real world reliability data, if you’re looking to them to source it you’re buying your rat poison from the rat company.

Because people on Bing video or Odyssey are more likely to engage with Google services…

Ah, wasn’t sure if they shipped with their own version of webkit for compatibility or invoked the system call. Unfortunate that it’s the latter.

Your question is worded very oddly, but to attempt to answer it, headphones (most) operate off of an analog signal from a DAC (digital to analog converter). In any analog setup you’re going to have some amount of signal transmission or line noise unless the two transmission lines are entirely shielded or entirely separated.

You may try a downloaded browser, they likely ship with a newer version of webkit than what’s on the system or in the store but I’m not 💯 and Google didn’t reveal any clarity on the matter.

Keyword “Random”. The code for the packages that shipped for your os and for your user installed utilities are generally ‘trusted’ code since you sought out the install. It’s not bulletproof, but it’s a good start vs running any package that happens to land in your downloads folder.

A bit of a straw man argument, but also based. They should go after all production vehicles and require that they meet pedestrian safety standards or that ownership requires additional licensing/training.

It’ll create 0 as long as the legislation is robust and the current department/politician in charge doesn’t meddle. If you look at other utilities that doesn’t always end up being the case. They should definitely be ripping apart most big-name ISPs and replacing them with localized ones, in addition to absolutely destroying their ability to monopolize by forcing them to rent shared linespace at reasonable cost.

Remember when Sony stopped us all from having easy access to high density compact disc storage by slapping obnoxiously large fees onto blueray decoding licensing that they still maintain today? Or how about that whole… betamax… actually I’ll just leave that one to history.

Unfortunately this particular clause has been tested pretty throughly in court and current courts (*in the United States of America) have decided that your average Joe has alternative options and can/has consented to the licensing clause of the Eula. The only thing that might change (and should change by the way) is Sony/others being able to use the term “purchase/buy” without specifying in clear detail that you’re purchasing a temporary license to the product and not a copy of the product. This is laid out in the Eula, but should also be either directly labeled near the purchase button or prompted and accepted during checkout. Wouldn’t change things but at least people can’t then bitch when the leopard eats their face.
