A lot of the actual, serious ones that knew what they were doing got caught. Some went to lulsec to be jerks with no agenda and were caught by the Feds. All that was left were script kiddies that downloaded the Low Orbit Ion Cannon and used scripts they find online. Then they left or were overtaken by alt right idiots.
The original Anonymous are in their 30s and 40s by now. Everyone ages out.
If I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die historic on the Fury Road!
Walmart.com didn’t work for me on FF for about a week, and it did work on edge and chrome (still broken on FF when I disabled all my add ons). However, they fixed it and it works now. I think it was just a problem with the build of the website, and wasn’t intentional because it definitely works now.
I think that’s what’s more likely - temp problems that could affect any browser until their web dev fixes it. Not anything malicious like intentionally blocking a browser.
And then, it’s just Walmart. It’s nothing that really mattered.
To add to that, I very much doubt any big company tests and verifies anything anymore.
Boeing ships planes with missing bolts and proper software, Crowdstrike pushes updates with no testing, we’ve all seen Microsoft push updates that break stuff because there’s no testing, and that’s just what comes to mind.
That’s how they maximize profits - get rid of testing environments, do minimal checks, and have the one guy doing 3 jobs at once just push it to production.
I’ve been in IT for the banking industry for over a decade and I promise you, we’re all a missed cup of coffee or a comma away from another massive outage due to a program or network misconfig.
As long as business culture is set to maximize profits for one quarter, I wouldn’t trust a sales website about “verification” or “disaster recovery backups” any more than I trust a used car salesman.
That goes for Crowdstrike, but also all of their competitors.
It died in my area when they dropped the amount of spawn nodes to the point where you couldn’t really walk around. You had to drive pretty far at that point, and that kill let most people’s enthusiasm.
I don’t know if it was complaints by local businesses or what, but after that I never saw large groups walking around again.
BFG Division from DOOM 2016 or Darude - Sandstorm for the parallels of Run Lola, Run.
But in reality, silence. I’d need to form a plan and amping up on adrenaline wouldn’t help with that.
Try using a non-alcohol-based lotion. If you can’t find one, I’ve had good success with Eucerin. I put lotion on my face and scalp right after my shower, and don’t have any itchiness or flakes.
I couldn’t find a shampoo that fixed anything for me.
If you have it on your elbows or knees (very common), you can try Aquaphor at night. That is pretty sticky, but keeps your skin calm and moist.
A dermatologist can give you some prescription lotion/cream, as well. That also works, but it’s typically a small tube and expensive.
Direct x is definitely a problem, and it doesn’t help that Final Fantasy 14 is a poorly coded game, as I’ve never had problems prior to that. And I’m running Windows 10. I used to run Linux years ago, but couldn’t use Netflix on it. Now that they’re crap and jellyfin is a better choice overall, I might have to try switching back. I’d greatly prefer to use all AMD, but we’ll see. I think the upcoming W11 upgrade-or-die ultimatum in October 2025 will force lazy people like myself to spend the time to switch or rebuy. My work environment that I support is Windows/Cisco/Fortinet, so it’s easier to come home and do the same rather than learn how to install/configure/support Linux versions of the same thing. But who knows what the next year will bring.
I felt the same way until I had a ROG strix RX-2700xt. I started getting fatal directx errors playing FFXIV all the time. It was an allocation problem and there was no driver version I could try that fixed it. I started trying to learn to custom-patch a driver, gave up, and bought an Nvidia card which I hated to do. Fixed the problem. Turns out the drivers for that specific card suck in general.
I still prefer AMD, but I’m wary of card manufacturers. Their drivers can be awful. In this case though, the default drivers didn’t work either. And you generally won’t know the word on the street until well after the cards aren’t higher end.
Anecdotal for sure, but it took a year of fighting on and off to fix and I don’t want that when I’m trying to relax.
I have a great business idea - sell a roku-like device for half the price and a .99 cent subscription fee. Then when I’ve captured the market I force them to accept draconian new terms that cost way more or I brick the device. By then it’s too late and I can suck all the money out of it from the people that can’t switch.
And if they don’t like it? Too bad; they signed away their rights to sue.
It’s a foolproof plan! As long as I don’t get shot in the street but justifiably angry customers.
Maybe, but I imagine connected people knew something was up with that island. I remember hearing about the “Lolita Express” plane in maybe the early 2000s on the Internet. At the time I probably thought it was a conspiracy theory, but that it reached common people like me indicates that if you’re actually going there, you’d have some questions.
There’s no way he’d know that he’d be outed posthumously as an Epstein Island visitor, and thus no one in the future would want to go meet him in the past.
I’d say that means time travel is still possible!
Why would a TV need an update? What’s changed that would require updating to continue to display the signal it’s getting?
I have a Vizio that isn’t connected to the Internet and it’s essentially a computer monitor for my htpc that I control.
If it ever forces me to update I’m getting rid of it.
My real concern is that in 10 years, my htpc loophole will be closed and they’ll datamine me anyway and force me into subscriptions regardless.
It’s considered standard to pull wall-to-wall in dungeons, though. There’s an exception for earlier dungeons when your kit is nerfed and most people don’t have AoE, but if you aren’t doing it by level 50 content, people are going to get impatient.
But I think the key is that it doesn’t matter if you wipe or not, unlike WoW. People are a lot more forgiving in FFXIV. I’ve been playing it for close to 3 years, and played WoW from classic to WotLK, however long that is. I 100% enjoy FFXIV’s story and the community more.
I’d be interested in knowing how you’ve got more experience and knowledge about EVs, if you could share. There’s a lot of misinformation out there but I’m open to hearing about your credentials. We always hear about “gasoline powered cars putting X tons of pollution into the air” but no one I’ve heard mentions replacing the batteries on an EV. I don’t think the general public really even thinks about it. I’d love to know more.
Back in 2010 my friend group and I tried. Google kept changing their chat programs and we’d keep having to migrate or change what we did. Eventually we went to discord and it was at least stable.
We tried, Google. We tried. I won’t go back.
Wow, can you imagine trying to fix dry eyes by using eye drops, only to have to get them surgically removed to prevent your death? Going blind over eye drops? 4 deaths even…
You see those videos of workers in India doing barefoot work making pots and small metal parts. Turns out that’s everywhere, including your eye drops.
I’m sure the companies responsible won’t have any consequences, but I wish they would. That’s so incredibly reckless and who knows what else we use every day that’s manufactured this carelessly.

Google Talk, Google Chat, Google Huddle… Some of them even integrated with Gmail.
Seems like a dumb idea to try again, when already established chat systems that won’t vanish in a year exist.
Yep, that’s exactly what it did. Maybe there was a way to do it, say if you had a VPN, but people picked up pretty quick to ban a single IP.
