This is one of the many things Homer taught us all.

“We need to ask ourselves: would the environmental impact of these large industrial-sized solar complexes outweigh the benefits they claim to provide?

What environmental impacts? The concrete used to build them? The interference in the natural habitats of animals in the area?

“There’s definitely a place for solar panels—on rooftops, not on prime agricultural land that our community relies on.

Oh, those environmental impacts. If the land is so good for farming, why has the farmer seemingly sold it to be turned into a solar farm?

Ya, it’d still be huge for Firefox, but what I’m really getting at is that even with this change, Chrome is going nowhere. They’re the big fish, they can afford to make these kinds of changes, because the people who care are a very small minority.

If coos don't want to their they shouldn't get paid.

I think this should be “If COOs don’t want to work there, they shouldn’t get paid”.

Or are getting somewhere else

No idea on this bit. Maybe “or should get a job somewhere else”?

The uBlock Origin chrome extension ~~has~~ had 34 million users. Chrome has 3.45 billion users.

Even if every uBlock user switched, it’s less than 1% of chrome users.

Either;

A. You don’t take on any new tasks before the meeting. You’re already too distracted by the meeting to start anything new. So now you’re sitting there killing time for an hour until the meeting starts. You were doodling in a notepad, missed the start of the meeting, and joined 5 minutes late.

B. You were working on something and didn’t realise it was meeting time. Someone messages you 5 minutes after the meeting started, reminding you to join. You’ve completely forgotten what the meeting is about and it takes you a further 5 minutes to get your bearings.

A computer: does anything.

Tech journalists: is this AI?

You’re either a coexist-sticker Subaru owner, or a monster-logo-on-everything-including-your-vape-pen Subaru owner. There are no other Subaru owners.

Gaming journalists sure want a Sony monopoly of gaming consoles, don’t they?

Despite the inflammatory headline, I don't think that's really the point of the article. It's much less "why even bother", and more "do they even know what they're doing over there"?

Any hatred the writer has for Xbox seems to be focused on how Microsoft are running things, not letting the studios take chances or even make a bit of a dud game.

As a platform, the point of Xbox is supposed to be to make things people enjoy. But MS seem hyper-focused on insane rates of growth, more users, more subscribers, bigger profits. Anything that doesn't fit that gets cut, regardless of how well it was received by fans or critics.

I don't get the impression the writer hates Xbox, but is just frustrated that they've been making the same mistake over and over again, which has allowed Sony to dominate the console space.

Yup, think it was pretty common too. Mine had it, all the photos would come out purple.

The VLC guy turned down what a quick search is telling me was “several tens of millions” to show ads. I can’t even imagine what getting people to drop ublock would be worth.

If you're looking for something you can carry about and use to store data on, why not just a USB-C thumb drive or external SSD?

Edit; this is intended for photographers, but you can get external SSDs that create their own WiFi network so you can transfer files wiressly to and from them: https://www.westerndigital.com/en-gb/products/portable-drives/wd-my-passport-wireless-ssd?sku=WDBAMJ2500AGY-EESN
