I don’t believe USPS can open packages without a warrant (which is why they’re the preferred courier for drugs), and I don’t think “multiple packages going to a wrong address” counts as probable cause. But it’s been a minute since I’ve been involved in that end of things, so I dunno if that’s still current protocol.

That’s why you use a fake return address that doesn’t exist. Allowing your product to get into real people’s hands was just asking for trouble.

It’s copyright infringement to do so. No need getting the Beehaw admins in trouble; Google paywall bypassing tools and read away.

DoorDash must love constantly issuing refunds to neighborhoods like this.

Thinking Google is “the internet” is probably part of the problem.

I agree, I’m not a big fan of most of their menu these days. Though, their Famous Bowls always hit hard.

Yeah, most fast food places here have delivery options now, usually partnered through UberEats or GrubHub or one of those apps. At least in the cities, they do.

Otherwise, they also will typically let you order online so you can schedule it to be ready when you get there to pick it up, yourself.

why are you buying chicken on KFC dot com?

Delivery, most likely.

The Dreamcast really was ahead of its time. VMU-linking was honestly a really excellent use of the tech available at the time, and opened the doors for a lot of really interesting ways to play games. Some games even had single-player minigames you could access from the VMU, so you could play while you were away from your console.

If Sega had marketed the Dreamcast better, it could’ve really dominated the gaming scene at the time. It had a lot of features that were way more advanced than its competition. Hell, Sega could’ve possibly still been in the hardware market today if their consoles sold better. Sometimes I wonder what the gaming space would be like today if Sega was still making consoles.

If the voice doesn’t match the account owner, it doesn’t give out any personal info. If you use somebody else’s Assistant, you can only get general search results or media payback, typically.

How often are you using Firefox on your TV?

Not a single feature in that list is one I’ve ever used, and I use Google Assistant almost daily. These are all super niche features that I doubt anybody has ever tried more than once, in the first place.

I mean sure, but how often is the virtual keyboard pulled up in any “creative” app? It always auto-hides if you’re doing anything other than interacting with a text field.

What does this have to do with “creators”, though?

Takis are for people who hate teeth.

True, but no one is going to pay for content with production values barely above tiktok videos - which is what most of YouTube’s most famous content is.

I don’t think of it as paying for the content, as much as just paying for an ad-free experience that doesn’t require maintenance on my end and still helps pay creators. I watch YouTube a lot, and on several devices that aren’t easy to adblock on, so I just pay for a family plan and none of my family has to see ads on any of their devices, either. I don’t think YouTube is really doing exclusive content anymore, so that’s not really a huge reason to subscribe.

YTP is one of the few “quality of life” subscriptions that I think is genuinely worth it, IMO.

Presumably they mean it allows the DNS provider to see your internet traffic, but I don’t believe that’s wholly accurate. I believe at most they’d be able to log timestamps of what domains you visited.

I hope so. Preemptive defederation is a stupid idea.

You sound like exactly the kind of kid who needed his Xbox taken away.

I could’ve sworn this practice was recently outlawed? If not, it 100% should be. If you can buy a subscription from one location, you should be able to cancel it from the same location. I feel like I remember reading about a case recently regarding notoriously hard-to-cancel gym memberships resulting in a requirement that you could cancel subscriptions whenever and wherever you wanted, but maybe I’m misremembering.
