I understand that this may come across as flippant and possibly condescending, so apologies in advance, but I mean it as a genuine question.

What would it take to break the… inertia?

I imagine you’d move if your chair caught fire, so there must be some line. How low can the bar be set?

My experience with Whataburger is that the food is mediocre, and if it weren’t for bad service, they’d have no service at all. In fact, there’s one Whataburger that I have failed to eat at twice because no one came to the counter both times I tried.

That’s what I keep telling them!

The transition from analog to digital really hurt my desire to watch OTA TV (you caught me! I’m not under 25).

With analog broadcast, any weak signal or interference produced a little bit of static, but you could still see and hear what was being said. With digital, any weak signal means dropped frames and silence or weird glitches. You completely lose what’s happening. Even with a powered antenna, I have frequent issues with weak signal. I could probably try to get a rooftop antenna installed, but there’s no guarantee it would be any better. It’s just easier to find other entertainment at this point.

As a hydrocarbon enthusiast, I’m going to have to say it’s not really optional.

Squirm.

That assumes you can unplug it. Most devices I own have the camera built right into the device, and it can sometimes be hard to find an option that doesn’t include it. I have a Webcam cover on my desktop and laptop.

I haven’t seen one that would work for my phone, but if someone has hacked my phone, I probably have bigger issues.

KnowBe4 has an article about their experience.

They also covered at least one other instance in the US.

Thanks! It’s surprisingly difficult to get Germans to correct me on things. Most of them are just happy that I can speak it at all, so they tell me not to worry about the little stuff. 😂

Was Sprachen Sie spricht? (Deutsch/German)

I’m not a native speaker, but I’m pretty sure it’s

Welche Sprachen sprechen Sie?

assuming you want to be formal, which feels a little weird to me in the context of an internet forum.

Edit: but to answer your question: fluent English, mehr als ein Bißchen Deutsch, y un poquito Español.

For the first 80% of your comment, I was definitely picturing a small backpack on the bird, and I was wondering what the purpose of tiny perches would be.

Relevant xkcd?

You can still get a USB-C dongle that supports charging and audio at the same time. It sucks that they make you do it, but I’m glad it’s still an option.

can’t even subtract from a timer (it can add, though!)

“Ok, Google, add -5 minutes to the timer”

It either explodes, or you start getting notifications in the past. Seems like a possible win, either way.

Not according to the experts.

Not just physical mail. The letter had to have the serial numbers of all devices associated with your account.

Sure, let me go digging behind my TV with all of my free time so that I can give you information you already have, dicks.
