Singapore noodles probably aren't from Singapore either.

I mean we know China and Russia do this shit to us, do we really expect that the US does not have similar operations? I think this is just a standard part of espionage now.

Guy uses clickbait title to flame outrage, gets outrage.

Same here. Just got some big bugfixes.

I'm definitely with you on that one.

I do use Firefox at home, but unfortunately it's not an option on my work pc.

Kind of feels like a side effect of a US election year. But I don't disagree.

Yeah but that mutes sound even if you want it (and toggling it back isn't exactly one click). I don't want to remove the ability to play sounds, I want to disable autoplay of anything that makes sounds (except perhaps if I white-list a site?). Or mute/unmute on a per-tab basis with the default being muted. As mentioned there are settings that you'd think would do this thing, but they're either bugged or deliberately crippled because I still seem to get plenty of autoplay video with sound that finds its way through on my work pc.

Meanwhile the real question is why major browsers don't seem to have a "do not ever fucking make a noise unless I explicitly tell you to" setting. I swear, Chrome and IE look like they do, but it never seems to actually work. And then there's "this setting is managed by your administrator" bullshit on top of that...

I mean fuck, movie music doesn't have to be boring as shit either, but it sure is in a bad state these days.

I kind of agree that 16 isn't my favorite even though it certainly had some moments. Soken's FF14 OST is amazing though.

I'm in my 40s, lots of people I know got on Facebook a long time ago and never had any interest in jumping over to whatever the new social network is. Some of these people are people I knew in high school, or college, or people who moved far away, or people who just settled down with kids and don't really get out much more. People who I still am interested in having some contact with, but I don't really directly interact with much directly anymore. Facebook is the perfect level of contact with these people. I certainly use Facebook far less than I used to but I still log in once in a while for a reason.

I would lose contact with the people who are only on Facebook, which for my age group is a lot.

These agreements are specific to certain products. Amazon continues to show prices under normal circumstances.

Yeah, like, decades. It basically means whatever agreement they have with the supplier says that they can't advertise for under MSRP. This is not a thing that's unique to Amazon.

Well, they did already have a CEO resign over the 737-Max.

Mostly just by association. It sounds very incel-y.

Cool beans. I enjoyed The Adventure Zone's Blades in the Dark campaign, seems like a neat system.

Knowing how far ahead R&D needs to be to get a product out the door...I'm sure MS has already made this decision. Is there any indication that the Xbox series is actually unprofitable? It being third in market share is not necessarily an indication that they're losing money this generation.
