I’d be down for something like this replacing the current RGB LED strip fad. It’s got so much potential to be both useful and badass cool at the same time.
Someone there wants to go back to 20+ years ago when your friends mom’s Internet Explorer windows included 75 different toolbars and there was only a little bit of browser space left. The hayday of “Buddy Bar” is returning for your Edge, Outlook, and Taskbar. Next will be explorer and Excel. The future is looking bright.
I was pretty hyped for the new prince of persia game (the lost crown), but come to find out it’s only available on ubisoft’s proprietary launcher or epic games. Nope, and nope....
And I thought Chamberlain was bad for intentionally breaking MyQ integrations. This is downright absurd. I guess Haier can lose some more potential business.
Virtual card numbers usually work well. I always made sure to use them with stuff like SiriusXM and other clowns that make cancellations difficult. You can leave them active or cancel them arbitrarily. Some card companies let you set them up via their app or website.
A few thoughts come to mind… 1) Some of their customers may only be customers because of HA compatibility. 2) HA does not require a cloud API to function - a LAN based solution is usually preferred anyway. 3) There are far more diplomatic ways to approach this issue.
Many of your probably know that motive of YouTube forcing users to turn on their watch history-- which is trying to get as much eyeball attention from you as possible for more data generation personally about you and send them to advertisers....
I noticed that YouTube recently started popping up the control overlay when starting a video on my streaming box. This dims the video and obscures much of the screen. At first I thought it was because I was clicking an extra time or something but I realized the other day that it’s because it’s highlighting a big “SHOP” button in the toolbar. It takes several seconds to disappear. Dear YouTube, I’m not going to buy shit using my remote control.
I worked in retail as a college summer job and someone let their cart loose and it cracked a light on my car. The security tapes confirmed it. I was parked way off to the side with the other employees and the cart gained some momentum on its way.
Another similar test is when someone changes their mind on buying something if they return it to its original spot or just dump it on a random shelf. This is another thing that I really hated dealing with in retail.
You might be able to fix this by disabling “modern standby”. That was the key on my Dell laptop from work having the same issue and threatening to melt my backpack every night.
I managed to fiddle around with my work Dell laptop and disable that nonsense. I think it was called “modern standby”. I don’t understand why this isn’t considered a fire hazard. It was terrifying to leave my laptop in my backpack until I figured out the fix.
