They messed up 10 years ago when for some reason it took ages for Firefox to load compared to Chrome, and sadly it never really recovered the user base even though the performance is vastly improved.

Oh that setting is super easy to change, just go to run, type in regedit, expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then just scroll until you find CLSID-73838-abf83-c758d57-87a90ba, set the value to zero and reboot!

This reminds me of the time in HS when a letter broke off my laptop keyboard and my parents insisted on taking it to the shop for a repair. Turns out they really just wanted the shop to turn over my search history and chat logs. I already knew my parents were nosy so I would always delete it anyway.

One day I came home from school and they said the shop fixed the keyboard but just needed my password to test it and do updates. I said no it's fine if he can type in anything into the password then obviously the keyboard works, and I already did the updates regularly.

They literally had to beg me for the password and they were like pleasssse just give the shop the password so they can finish their checklist and you can get your computer back, and I was like fine if it's the only way I'm getting it back. Of course nothing came of it because there was nothing to discover.

Then my parents got the computer back but kept it in the trunk of their car for a week, and I accidentally saw it when we were leaving Old Navy which started a whole "I don't believe this!" discourse in the mall parking lot.

Moral of the story just talk to your kids instead of spying and lying, because they know and it won't work!

So now they're just charging people for what they were already doing anyway.

It's getting ridiculous though like even gas stations are starting to ask. Like sorry why should I leave a tip to get a Snickers and bottle of water rung up?

Public domain? Creative commons? MIT? BSD? GPL? You mean I'm allowed to use these things without failing?

"what if we made it so everybody had to pay to turn off their screens even if there was no video or music!"

Can someone name and shame yelp for automatically generating pages for business listings that don't exist like TOP 10 BEST CANTONESE FUSION RESTAURANTS IN HARPERS FERRY.

Where are all the people who say "if you don't like it just get another job" when this happens. Especially if you're a temp and you could literally walk across the street and get another job.

Gets a $3000 bill because they picked the wrong instance type.

It's frustrating they don't even know what to be angry about. Like instead of flying to Sacramento and ripping out 5000 servers why not flip out that the code has 70,000 different hard coded references to a single data center instead of one.

FB: We're confused why someone would sign up for a social media site set up by somebody in their dorm room, tell us how to be more like you.
