idk about you but never had an issue with chase's website on Firefox that prevented me from using it.

Wasn't his thing with the frogs turning gay that the government was putting something in the water turning frogs and people gay? Maybe I don't have a complete understanding of his hypothesis but how was he right about this?

Ok that makes sense. Still it sounds like he was regurgitating the findings of a study of frog behavior in polluted environments, and then creating a conspiracy theory around it. How was anything he added correct information on top of the preexisting evidence?

FWIW, his passport was revoked while on a layover in Russia from Hong Kong to Cuba for an intended final destination of Ecuador. This is what caused him to seek asylum in Russia because that was his only option. His involvement with wikileaks during this time is suspicious knowing what we know now, but it seems to me he either got stuck in Russia because of the US or because of Wikileaks, and he didn't knowingly have a relationship with Russia before getting stuck there.

It may seem like not much changed, but it was one of the motivating factors for the big push for TLS everywhere after it was revealed that PRISM was tapped into and mirroring unencrypted communications. Also Signal probably wouldn't be as popular as it now, with people still using unencrypted communications.

One of the NSA's missions is to protect all of the federal government's computer networks from cyber-terrorism. You could argue that in light of what Snowden revealed, the increased focus of security and encryption did more to protect all of the federal government's computer networks from cyber-terrorism than any other NSA initiative ever.

I kept getting spam from Hello Fresh for 75% off if you reactive your subscription, so I did and promptly cancelled again. I repeated this for 6 weeks, for 6 meals for 2 people for $28 each week. It was great while it lasted.

Some men aren't looking for anything logical, some men just want to watch the world burn. Was there any meaningful improvement to anyone Bin Laden cared about after 9/11, or did he expect there to be? Seems like for a terrorist by definition is looking to cause maximum terror, not improving anyone's life.

I imagine most of their revenue comes from the ad supported "channels" they provide, which non-technical people are tricked into using since they have a technical friend or relative who set them up with Plex 10 years ago. With the Fox acquisition of Roku, the merging of Tubi and Roku Channel would be huge and probably cause Plex to lose streaming licenses of certain properties which will end up as lower revenue.

I'd imagine for criminals, being the 101st Most Wanted is the sweet spot. If you robbed a bank or something, you probably got away with a lot to be Most Wanted, and there are bigger fish who the feds are after. More popular and you have more people after you and have to go into serious hiding. Less popular and your crime probably didn't net you much.

If you don't upgrade to Windows 11, you can't use Recall, which is a great reason not to upgrade to Windows 11.

The congestion zone starts at 60th Street and heads south, so traveling from 61st - 79th street won't even encounter the congestion pricing. This guy is dumb on so many levels.

EDIT: I just looked it up on a map and 61st is a one way going west towards Central Park, so if you enter 61st from Madison Ave, you're forced to exit at 5th Ave and go south entering the zone, which I guess is this guy's problem?. I also looked up the guy and he's a CEO Real Estate developer, so he's living in a multi-million dollar place right next to Central Park and can't afford to pay $9 because his private parking spot in his building forces him to drive into the congestion pricing zone. Come on!

Found the post on the forums. The screenshot omits the comment from Craig who said "I ended up wiping windows and installing Ubuntu instead".

I found this reply helpful too, and so should you.
