I have trouble believing that petition matters since it reads like business as usual for the CPC. The only thing that stands out is that it doesn't specifically call out the carbon tax.

I mean if you're on GSuite, fundamentally isn't a loss of control of your personal Gmail account just as likely as a loss of control of your professional account?

It does show how browsers offering cloud-synched password vaults without mandating 2FA to use that feature is grossly irresponsible.

2FA is, in my experience, the thing that would be blocking 99% of this kind of attack. Which shows how if you're regularly using something that doesnt have 2FA that should be a red flag. In this case it was 2 layers of that:

Their google account probably didn't have 2FA, and neither did that service account. Now obviously a service account generally won't have 2FA, but if you're regularly keying in service account credentials into a web browser something has gone wrong.

Exactly. If it's a statically typed language and the function has a clear name? I know what type it is, I know what it's for, I'm good.

There are far worse sins, like intermediate variables or worse, public class members named "obj" or "data".

Wow that took a turn halfway through the last sentence.

They're three blocks from my house and open till 10pm, while all the independent ones are outside of my neighborhood and keep banker's hours.

This is still the last straw, so I'm switching to one of those.

Disappointed Moto Mods didn't catch on. The obvious approach of "skinny phone with minimal features but you can slap whatever you like onto the back (radios, projectors, beefy batteries, gamepad, etc)" - just makes sense for me. I loved my old Moto Z.

Why are we listening to a Ana Bailao? She was part of the government that dropped this particular ball. Why don't we ask Mike Harris what to do about water treatment, or Kathleen Wynne what to do about power generation?

We must know: how many digits is the year? And when they're displayed later, do they use slashes or hyphens? I want to really breathe in the awful.

Yes, but what happens when you have one room with multiple light fixtures, each with multiple bulbs, and you want to manage them separately? This is relevant to me because I have a very long attic loft bedroom. If my wife is in bed at one end of the room and I'm on the computer at the other end, I want the lights at dim at my end and off at hers.

There are workarounds involving "automations" or tricks with naming conventions but they're very tedious and spotty. The ability to group bulbs together (which Phillips Hue offers) would be much cleaner.

That's been the central feature of this series for like 25 years - Battletech level customization, but fully visible in your mech's construction, and with Gundam/Macross style mech action and styling. And now they've added some Soulslike gameplay now that they've returned to the series after all that Elden Dark Blood Whatever.

Do WC3-style hero-driven RTS. Somebody needs to bring back Warlords Battlecry but with D&D branding.

I did too, but I got back in when they gave you a pretty easy achievement-based unlock the next season after the hero drops. I don't love it but it means you'll get the heroes at most 1 season late if you're not active enough to complete the free-tier battle-pass.

So it's not nice but at least there's no FOMO. It's more like unlocking weapons in TF2 in terms of difficulty than true "pay to win".

To me the big pisser is that the OW1 gameplay of 2-2-2 is no longer available. 5 players is not large enough team for a game with a respawn timer and slow rollouts - losing one player (especially the tank) means the teamfight is over. That much pressure is just bad gameplay for a game that was originally supposed to be an approachable take on TF2.

If they wanted smaller teams, they needed to rework how costly deaths are in teamfights. And OP tanks was just a dumb idea altogether.
