The problem with this is that it's the same level of elevation that's required for normal software installation.

Normally car manufacturers are rather polite in hiding their "hidden" fees for their excessive (and now standard) features.
But BMW? No. They're taking the dirt road and rubbing the prices in every owners face. Why? Because Fuck You, That's Why.
Here in the US, BMWs (and other German luxury marques such as Mercedes and Audi) are still status symbols, and the way status symbols work is the more you paid for it, the greater the perception of your status. You don't drive a new BMW so you can tell your important friends how good a deal you got on it, you drive a new BMW so everyone knows how much money you have. The fact that basic features are essentially DLC? Doesn't matter.
Look at the poor long-term reliability and extremely rapid depreciation of many of these luxury automotive brands. This only enhances their effect as a status symbol: for the very wealthy, they're effectively disposable, rather than an important financial decision that merits careful consideration.
The expression you're looking for is "doubles down," not up.
Well, they now have five subscription services, so "doubles up" would be correct if they previously had 2.5 paid subscription services...
I was going to mention this as well. The link I have bookmarked is https://mail.google.com/?ui=ht... which still seems to work.
Unfortunately, they seem to have removed the ability to set the old HTML version as the default for your account, which I had for a long time until accidentally clicking on the new version which permanently switched to AJAX as default.
Of course, in practice I just use Thunderbird, which gives the bonus of an offline copy (on multiple machines as well) in case of disaster.
Reminds me of that Star Trek episode where Kirk, Spock, and McCoy escape their robotic captors by acting irrationally. Did the Go AI write out "contradictory... is not... logical..." while smoke poured out of whatever is its equivalent of a head?
You have to stand in front of a mirror and say his name while turning around three times, then your hosts file will be automatically updated.
Wow. First it was terminators, now it's false advertising. That Dyson guy really sucks.
He makes vacuum cleaners and fans, so it's accurate to say he both sucks and blows.
This is my personal worst-case scenario. I get that different people have difference preferences, but as someone who's perpetually sleep-deprived it's extremely difficult to wake up in the dark. Mornings in general are already pretty brutal, but this means that during the winter my kid's gotta be at school before the sun comes up. I would have preferred staying on standard time year-round, and as much as I dislike changing clocks twice per year, that's preferable to trying to get up in the dark.
Are there "morning owls" out there who have equivalent difficulty staying awake until sunset? I would have thought that the people who would most enjoy permanent DST would be early risers who would also be fine with the early light.
The orders are free.
Are you telling me I can reserve a Nikola truck for less than a nickel a truck?
When I send myself an email, Gmail includes both plaintext and HTML versions of the message (ignore the Slashdot URL helper in square brackets - that's not in the source):

"Microsoft" is surely a typo - they must mean "Mozilla".
I thought so, too, but it's not (from the TFA).
Stand your ground!
Remotely.
Stand your ground, from someone else's ground!
If you RTFA, you'll see the screenshot which shows that the ad looks identical to the baby registry items, except for the grey "sponsored" text, including the "0/1 Purchased" bit which can only be meant to deceive, since it indicates someone has requested some number of this item.
Anyway, I've been bugged by this practice for a while. When you're scrolling through the results, you can't quickly pick out the ads from the real results without reading each item. If you have the Stylish browser extension, you can add the following rules to better highlight which items are ads. I just change colors to make them obvious, but I you could make them invisible if you wish:
color: #f00 !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
}
color: #ddd;
background-color: #ffa;

Before you argue about the existence of god, you must first define god.
...
To talk about god and be understood by your audience, you have to be talking about something "supernatural": something outside of nature, something above, beyond, outside of, or superior to reality.
Reality is all that there is. The unreal does not exist, and neither does god.
So says metaphysical naturalism. In your case, you're defining "supernatural" to mean "does not exist" by conflating nature with reality. Obviously, various religions hold a different view.
Plex Media Server does a similar job with regards to your own media files, which is what I assume the GP meant by "self-hosted."
For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
