Wi-Fi used to be a pretty common thing to not work out of the box or to break in updates. I kept a usb Wi-Fi dongle in a bag as a backup just because of this.
the Competition and Markets Authority in the UK wants a market investigation to determine if Apple’s policy against allowing cloud gaming services on the App Store is anticompetitive.
What is disallowed exactly? GeForce Now has an app store app, and I've used it for cloud gaming.
edit: oh, probably if the apps have their own stores or included games and Apple can't take a percentage of those sales. GeForce Now doesn't sell games.
That's just it. Most of us probably work on our computers – imagine if you were a carpenter and your tools actively fought you. It's about literal quality of life for me at this point.
In Dawkins' sense of the word, memes are 'units of cultural inheritance'. So melodic movements in bird song, that birds teach each other, could be considered memes.
Any other place you might find cultural inheritance, you could describe it in terms of memes. Memes were simply meant to be a cultural analogy to genes.
How many times will they reuse this image where his jaw is doing something super weird? This time it's gotten some fancy graphics but it's the same flipping image. I must have seen it on 10 different articles.

Phones typically come with SMS delivery reports turned off by default for several reasons:
User Experience: Enabling delivery reports for every SMS can clutter the messaging interface and make it more complicated for users, especially those who are not familiar with the feature. Keeping it turned off by default ensures a cleaner and simpler user experience.
Privacy: Some users may be concerned about their privacy, and enabling delivery reports can reveal when they read a message. By defaulting to off, phone manufacturers respect users' privacy choices.
Network Overhead: Sending delivery reports consumes a small amount of network resources. When enabled for all messages, this can add up and potentially lead to increased network traffic. By defaulting to off, network operators can manage their resources more efficiently.
Compatibility: SMS delivery reports may not be supported by all carriers or may work differently on different networks. Keeping them off by default ensures that users have a consistent experience regardless of the carrier they use.
Simplicity: Many users don't need or want delivery reports for every message they send. By keeping the feature turned off by default, phone manufacturers reduce the complexity of messaging settings.
Users who want to enable SMS delivery reports can usually do so through their phone's messaging settings. This allows for a more customized experience based on individual preferences.
