I must be doing something wrong, I've been on Win11 since launch day and I haven't seen any advertising.

I will often use new egg to search for components by specific specs then go and buy them from Amazon, works out well if a very tiny hassle.

Yeah, after MoviePass showed a model that worked, and especially with covid-hestitant audiences not going to theaters like they used to, I don't see how this is going to compete with what the chains are offering already. I Can see more movies in a month than I actually have time for with an AMC subscription, unless they can undercut A-List I don't see the draw.

This misunderstands the situation, the website did not load an external anything, it merely informed the user that a resource existed on a google server, it was the user via their browser that made the connection, loaded the resource, and transmitted privileged information to google. If I take a chocolate from a jar with a sign that says upon it "free chocolate" it is the sign's fault I have ruined my supper?

Or the user can direct their browser to not load any content not originating from the originating domain, the website did not "send" google anything, the user via their browser reached out to google and requested these fonts. The website owner is not liable for the operation of the user's computer.

This ruling essentially makes hot-linking a crime, it should not be on the website to control what content the browser of the user loads but on the user to restrict their browser for loading arbitrary content without consent. From a purely technical standpoint all the website did was say that a certain file was located at a certain web address, it was the browser that initiated this content and sent the users IP to google, not the website, the fonts in this situation would have never passed through the website itself which is the whole point of using the fonts API.

It cannot be an overlay, elsewise the content would still be underneath it. It would also mean that it is impossible to deploy DDOS protection as your front-end first page must be self-hosted and not reliant on any external service, it would be far easier to overwhelm a single baremetal server than it would the packet soaking array of something like Cloudflare.

It's been long held you can't sue for game designs, only the unique aesthetics, so for example words with friends is fine to be a "take tiles and spell connecting words on a grid to earn points" exactly like scrabble because the point values, bonus tiles, grid size, and so on are different.

Even so, an extra $2.25 for the full office suite over google's base pricing is quite good if you are using workspace for access to google docs and onedrive. I honestly find the Sheets experience in particular to be quite frustratingly limited, but then I also do a fair bit with PowerQuery so.. For many business users this is a good time to move to a O365.

Did you report the error in Maps? I've reported a number of errors and they have all been corrected promptly.

I can definitely see a future where voice actors and celebrities license the use of their voices for things like text-to-speech, interfaces, audiobooks, games, etc, but with appropriate compensation and rights over the usage of such. This is no different from using someone's likeness in advertising or in a product, I would have thought existing law would cover it enough, you should no more be using someone's voice to sell your goods or in your service without permission and compensation than you would their face.

"Exfiltrated" is the word you want I think

It's obvious this was done because of the association of TOR with various illegal activities and content, unlike the US Supreme Court back in the VHS days it looks like PayPal has decided the substantial non-criminal uses that benefit millions do not in fact outweigh the harmful things done using the technology. The fact is that criminals are going to crime no matter what, and the harm arising from this kind of corporate censorship cannot be understated.

None of these 500,000 shoppers work for instacart, they outsource everything to the gig economy so that's 500K independent contractors with no rights or recourse when robots come for their jobs. you are entirely at the whim of the corp and in every state except california you can be paid below any minimum wage for your work. CA tried to change the situation to get these workers properly classified as employees (and they really are because they have none of the traditional controls over work done that a real independent contractor would have) but Uber, Lyft, and Instacart waged a FUD campaign that convinced CA residents they would lose their cheap taxi rides and food delivery overnight if the law was allowed to stand, so a special exemption was carved out just for this specific sector.

Since when is a 6-digit UID low? Am I old now!? Crap....
