Pretty sure they never were an insurance company. They’ve always made (consumer) electronics.

Copying the user agent string from the network requests tab obviously makes them a cyber security expert, didn’t you know?

Doesn’t valve provide login-free setup and use of SteamVR for the index and the like? Granted, you’ll need a beefy PC for it, and probably some kind of storefront for most games. But at least no Facebook login strapped to your head.

Well… turns out they have a serial connection from the printer to the cartridge, all in the name of DRM. And you could put nefarious things on the chip of the cartridge, which would then be able to connect to the computer through the printer. All because of them wanting to thwart third party cartridges, so a problem of their own making, basically.

I know. But often Americans say that eating out can’t be affordable if it weren’t for tips. The rest of the world seems to prove otherwise, that’s my point.

There’s a reason why no tipping restaurants end up failing and returning to tips.

Yeah, we have 0 restaurants here in western Europe. It's a bummer. Should have adopted tipping culture.

I can imagine that spammers nowadays can write a simple script that drops everything from the + to the @, so while that may work for some spammers, others will just use your normal email address. I've resorted to creating a catchall for my personal domain. Also not ideal, but it'll hopefully take them a while to figure that one out for everyone using their own domain.

Neat! In Dutch we have azijnpisser/azijnzeiker which means the exact same thing.

That's the fun part. None, really. I still eat like a king, my meals might even be tastier nowadays.

Those are all things you need to pass to get your driver’s license here in The Netherlands. We still have idiots on the road. Granted, they don’t (or at least, very rarely) slam their vehicles through the fronts of stores and houses, but we still got idiots doing idiot things.

I’ve only seen it so far in the discord group for the city building game Cities: Skylines. And it’s still a mess.
