But the computer is within leg's reach.

Their computers may not be affected, but their everyday lives might be. Some of the affected services include 911, stoplights, banks, hospitals, and a whole other smorgasbord of stuff.

It wasn't a virus definitions update. It was a driver update. The driver is used to identify and block threats incoming from wifi and wired internet.

The "Outage" section of the Wikipedia article goes into more detail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_CrowdStrike_incident#Outage

Not the person you replied to, but what about Mastodon?

I think OP is simply cheering that they want Russia's economy to crumble.

This power grid thing is only a small part of their economy, and OP wants more bad stuff to happen to their economy.

I still use a picture of myself that was taken in my late teen years whenever I need to upload a picture for some sort of ID or profile picture.

That picture is maybe around 10 years old at this point.

*Taxes with fewer steps.

No need for all that pesky tax paperwork, save for end-of-year tax filings.

There was a time when I... well, I didn't really follow him all that much, but I didn't have any reason to dislike him. That changed when he tried to back out of buying Twitter.

At the time I was unhappy with how Twitter was handling its problems. I was hoping things would improve with new ownership. When he backed out, I started to see what kind of person he really was: someone who thought he could do basically whatever he wanted.

By the time he actually did but Twitter, I was glad the government actually stuck it to him and made him go through with the purchase. And I'm glad Twitter is failing because of his own blunders. I'm hoping it eventually dies (I'm already trying to move on to other platforms like Bluesky or Mastodon. Just waiting for people I follow to move to them.) and that he's still left with money he hasn't made back after that purchase.

Others replying to the comment included Blu-ray, so I did, too. I assumed it was a given to include that since others had already brought it up.

Too bad this apparently only counts Steam games. Lately, I've been trying to use GOG (because no DRM) whenever possible.

At the very least, it's still (generally speaking) higher quality video than streaming. It's not uncompressed, though.

Every now and then, I'm reminded that Skype is somehow still alive.

At that point, I would've just googled the phone number.

And the underground theme plays while doing it. As you get closer, the sped up version plays.

"Hey, Google, I'm having sex!"

Google turns down the lights and turns on the balls.

I thought extensions don't run in incognito mode?

They don't. Unless you check the box that allows them to. And I'm sure Google has already checked that box by default.

Are you talking about the "apps" that Chrome used to support? They removed the feature years ago to reduce bloat and RAM usage or something like that.

Before they removed the feature, I had actually figured out how to create my own "apps" that'd simply load webpages I visited often at the time, like Twitch.

I remember Codename: Kids Next Door had an entire episode about what goes on inside a dishwasher.

Ah, found it! https://knd.fandom.com/wiki/Operation:_R.E.C.R.U.I.T.

Now where's that comic...

Ah, found it!

I just call them communities. That's what I've seen others use.
