Subscribed and helping fund! Good luck. You guys deserve it. Hope you meet your goal.

Firefox does not “send” it, fingerprinting is done by tagging your hardware configuration from various values and create a unique key from that - independent of being logged in or any cookies - which can be used to track you. Things like browser & device user agent, browser window size, feature support (to determine browser version), etc. All of which are passively gathered by anything you could send a request to. There are ways to reduce this that Firefox and others do (such as reducing unique values in user agent, etc) but they’re not opting in to some privacy invading reporting mechanism.

Very common tactic, unfortunately. “Rare” cars like highly sought new releases have always been hard to get a hold of, and people will manage to get the money together to make a quick buck.

Yes. Was just explaining what was available / suggested by OP. It’s definitely not the same as a DRM-free backup

If you then restore them into Steam, yes.

You can make backups of games through the backup and restore menu. I assume that’s what he means, unless he’s referring to the limited selection of Drm free games

Last one I bought (it’s been a year and a half or so) I was able to use Calibre to decrypt it. I do believe the store page has to have a flag saying it’s a digital editions download. I don’t think all offer that IIRC

Was running into the same previously. Putting my desktop to sleep only to find it waking up in the middle of the night, and for some reason not going back to sleep afterwards. I believe the solution for me previously was disabling wake timers. Hasn’t been an issue since. However this is a much larger issue on things like laptops where preventing sleep while in a backpack could lead to excessive heat generation. Infuriating that it’s forced by default

I’ve only had the assistant for a few years since moving into this house, but we selected Google Keep and still use it on a daily basis shared between my SO and I.

Is Ray Tracing and various DLSS features available out of the box now? Last I looked into it they were still a bit unstable / hackable to get properly setup if they worked at all.

The M series from Apple has singlehandedly convinced me ARM is the future. The battery life we get with the performance they provide is insane.

Years ago that may have been true, but Messages combined with RCS support (and other carriers with their own apps supporting that should you not buy a Pixel) has been pretty uniform. If Apple would get on board then it would be a non issue by now.

I’m getting the 8 Pro, but think this artificial limitation of features is such bullshit. Really wish Google were better than this at this point in time. Those with the 6 & 7 pro could really use the manual selection. My SO has issues all the time with the 4x optical camera not automatically switching fast enough on the 6 Pro.

Chances the creator of this came up with the idea, logo and all, while Shopping in a Publix?

That doesn’t look like a graphing calculator? For what it’s worth, I haven’t needed one in years but I used an emulator for one of the popular ones when I was in school. Still ran as an app and you just grabbed the ROM for it, but was far better than the competition.

Nova being bought out by a third party ad company made that a no go for me nowadays :(

Okay, so at no extra cost to me I get a $700 phone (by your standards) and a $350 watch, both of which I use basically all day every day for any number of reasons that will last me 3 years like my current one. Sounds good to me.

I grabbed a Pro for myself, a worthy upgrade from the 5, and getting a free Watch 2 with it is great. I love my OG pixel watch so that with better battery life is all I ask for.

My fiance absolutely loves clicking on ads, exclusively on Facebook. It’s terrible. I finally switched her over to Firefox with Ublock on Android but Facebook changes ad patterns so regularly they make it through probably 75% of the time regardless. Still, less tracking scripts for her now 🤷🏻‍♂️
