Genuinely curious, why would I use this over just pasting the data uri into the search bar and viewing it that way?
Google My Business does/did send a letter with a code to the given address to verify the business so I'm sure they could easily do the same for Google Play as well.

I've just started doing the same for one of my websites, 90% html but php for headers and include() for a few odd global bits.

I currently don't own a >=5k but I have previously, my currently daily is 3.5k (GBP).

> Do you wear it every day? > Does it impact my plans?

I do wear it almost daily but it does vary, if I'm doing anything manual (gardening, working on my bike, painting/decorating) then I'll either not wear it or take it off during those activities where I'm likely bound to bash my wrist against something.

I'll often swap it out for one of my other cheaper ones sometimes.

> Why?

I've liked watches for God knows how long and I was fortunate to work at a luxury watch shop where I got some great discounts.

I've always said my collection is my funeral fund for once I go!

> Do I consider myself "well off"?

Personally, no. I just make very bad financial decisions.

Re:Ask HN: What VPN service are you currently using? on Wednesday August 30, 2023 @03:32PM (#37327684)
I use Mozilla's VPN.
The same thing happens for me when logged out, that's rather annoying if this is planned.

Highly rate Hamilton watches, very pleasing to look at when they came into our office when I was working at a watch dealership.
This is what I do with fastmail, I've got a couple of domains that I use for emails so I set a catchall and use [email protected]

Any screenshots for people who don't use Facebook anymore?
I only briefly read it but it seems they'll still support uploading legal NSFW for any subreddit just marked as hidden so it doesn't show in their public gallery, which makes sense to me.

I've been looking at making an internal wiki for my company and I think soon I'm going to try out getoutline.com, selfhosted

iPhones don’t support WebMs natively
At least whatever Google decides to do I'll still have my Pi-hole blocking ads and trackers
What version are you on? It seems to be fine for me on Chrome 69.0.3497.100

I'm surprised it went for quite awhile not being discovered.
I'm a fan of the engage sound but I'd definitely like to hear the sound when it's going slowly in real life.

Literally no idea what this is, not even an about page or anything.
