I'm probably very bad at this but I just hit this message:

"RATE_LIMIT:Hourly limit reached. Max 20 attempts per level per hour"

A bit frustrating to be honest.

Equally bad is the massive over sharpening applied to CCTV and dash cams. I tried to buy a dash cam a year ago that didn't have over sharpened images but it proved impossible.

Reading reg plates would be a lot easier if I could sharpen the image myself rather than try to battle with the "turn it up to 11" approach by manufacturers.

I've got lots to hide.

Doesn't mean you or anyone else has a right to know what it is and it doesn't mean I'm doing anything wrong either. We should all admit that we have lots we want to hide from other people and that's just fine and normal.

"One Reddit user said customer service explained that devices with remotes can no longer cast, claiming the decision was made to improve the customer experience."

How can this improve the customer experience?

Corporate garbagespeak, has no relation to reality whatsoever.

The reason isn't meant to be true/correct/verifiable. It's meant to be a positive sounding soundbite.

Statements like those are meant for you to just bounce off of them and fuck off. They don't care about the truth and they know you don't care enough to do anything about their lying. It's an entire business model.

It doesn't. They're just lying.

True, but it's still better than what we have now.

I don't live in the UK, but my impression from the outside is that rejoining is a political minefield within the UK?

Like, you guys have the Farage party leading in polls right now. I don't think any move in the direction of rejoining is realistic with the possibility of his party ruling the UK in a few years.

The real benefit from Brexit was felt outside of the UK. Although it was a shame to lose such an important country, the results were so disastrous for the UK that any *exit became extremely unpopular in other EU countries. Even far right parties in other EU countries had to completely scrape or severely tone down any rhetoric to leave the EU. Nowadays their goals are more to weaken the EU from within (which is still bad, but better than having those absolute retards campaigning to leave).

> but my impression from the outside is that rejoining is a political minefield within the UK?

Probably less of a minefield than it is perceived as, a huge chunk of the "leave"-voters are dead now.

The "sovereignty" argument is a bit misleading though. It's basically regulatory alignment.

You can write it without the quotes you know, it's an actual word.

I think it's a real argument personnally and the heart of the issue. That was the main question of the Brexit referundum: do you want to be a part of this pan-European union of people and surrender some of your country power to this union?

You can argue that the subsequent trade agreement and the alignment that followed have reintroduced some of the same constraints, which is true, but practically and conceptually speaking it is a very different kind of situation.

Regulatory alignment is very different to "surrendering some of your country's power". You've proved my point.

>Skepticism is a religion as much as Catholicism in Galileo’s time.

I think you must be using your own unique definition of skepticism because it's nothing like that.

YouTube is pretty shocking in Firefox, even worse with an ad blocker.

The experience suddenly gets mysteriously better if you switch your user agent to Chrome's, though.

That's not my experience at all. Switching off AV1 encoded videos has made a huge difference, though.

Sounds like an unnecessary polyfill.

I like imagine the stuttering and jagged reflows are the result of uBlock origin violently battling the page and destroying all the ads.

This is like a Black Mirror episode. Also, is it a conscious decision to make the TTS sound so robotic?

Maybe it's modeled on Zuck's robotic voice
