They partnered with DoorDash a few years ago, and its one of those one driver=multiple stops things. Which means your pizza is usually cold by the time it gets to you.

To be fair, music being delayed would delay the release of a movie, but they could still film the movies in the meantime.

Probably the scattering effect of the clouds. Instead of light coming from one direction, which you can angle away from to reduce intensity, the diffused light from the clouds is bouncing every which way. Which while making the intensity less, instead keeps it constant no matter where you face. I often wear sunglasses while driving on cloudy days for similar reasons.

Basically, looking at direct sunlight will obviously be more damaging, but diffused light doesn't give you a break.

Because it's great at killing things, including human skin. Seriously, my local gym has people practically sign their life away before letting them into a UV-A/B tanning booth. No way are you putting the even worse UV-C bulbs out in public. That's how people got their retinas fried at a crypto conference in Hong Kong last year.

Lawyers went after Tachi Devs, Devs abandon Tachi, new Devs forked Tachi and made Mihon.

Companies see the writing on the wall with all the right to repair legislation going around, so they're trying to make themselves look good now instead of fighting it anymore. At least publicly.

Fucking Canonical at it again.

You can probably just disable auto updates for Android Auto and the apps you use with it, but inevitably things will start breaking, like Play Services APIs that Android Auto relies on, or the APIs those older third-party apps you use rely on.

It sucks, but it was kinda inevitable for a system that has so many moving parts.

What's extra ironic is that with how slow Valve is at changing things, Epic had a window where they could've released a superior user experience to out compete Steam and sustainably attract users away from Steam. But they've taken so long that slow moving Valve has actually improved things, further solidifying their position, and now Epic is even further behind.
