Probably why they used the trycloudflare.com domain as they expect it to be blocked.
Yeah its unfortunate there's an AI app on the apple store with the same name
I've had movies I've "bought" disappear from the Apple account. I guess they lost the license and I'm supposed to download all purchases and manually copy between devices. I contacted Apple and they offered a free rental as compensation. "Buy" doesn't mean the same on these streaming platforms, its just a longer-term rental.
Or it could give regulators an excuse to come out with more big brother tech if age verification isn't up to par
It loves to hog disk space for some reason. An hour after installing, service workers are using 7gb. I have very few files uploaded so I don’t know what it’s caching.
I'm using Brave and Vivaldi - still the same chromium engine as Google's Chrome but both support ublock origin for now.
Yes, the cheap engineered "foods" don't help, and they're everywhere. This part of the article really hit home:
> He is worried that without additional support for people making the transition, society's unhealthy relationship with food means little will change.
> "The environment that people live in needs to be one that promotes health, not weight gain.

TL;DR: Some code looking for Windows 95 or 98 only looked for "Windows 9" to match both, and would have matched Windows 9.
Now Apple has the year in the OS version we'll have people wondering in a few years what happened to iOS 19-25.
Even if you buy aluminium cans, there's a thin layer of plastic lining to prevent reactions with the metal. I've also noticed lots of paper/cardboard packaging have a plastic coating.

They may mean funny as in odd
I've had some registrars lock the domain from transferring for a few weeks after changing whois.
Accidentally recording is one thing, but I haven't been able to find much on how the recordings were sold for targeted advertising.
Found this in another article about the settlement at https://appleinsider.com/articles/25/01/02/apple-agrees-to-9...:
