Unfortunately, resource groups seems to be the only thing going for it (imo of course). AWS does have resource groups but have not used them

Gotta love how the only dismissal option is "Remind me later" and gives no option to not show again.

Yeah, no sarcasm as it's the truth

They might use your Google Pay to see if you have a credit card attached and use that to confirm you are over 18. This is one of the age verification methods YT does.

Totally agree with this. It's cool to have this data but people using shared VPNs and unique emails will be penalized.

I noticed recently I couldn't use my 2FA key to get in to Google, but I never got a notification about it. Don't know when it was removed or why but was annoying getting back in (especially as text verification was a disabled option for some reason), and then setting it back up again.

A problem I had with MPV was that turning it up past 100% had very obvious distortion whereas VLC didn't have this when at the same volume so unfortunately, I am stuck with VLC on Linux unless I figure out whats wrong.

I wonder if a .sony email address would be rejected

Oh didn't see that. Page was refusing to load at first.

Well this restores a bit of confidence if they actually manage to get customers. Though, I still think they won't make their initial investment back and then they will kill the product. Hopefully I am wrong.

Well I have defended Mozillas decisions in the past and still thought they where the good guys, then they came out with this trash. Waste of money. If they can eventually monetize it then great, but personally, I don't think it will generate any revenue and just be a money-sink.

Guess it might be time to switch browser soon ): Google have won.

I see 0 problems with this. Disney gets their exposure. Mozilla gets some money (I hope) and exposure. The users don't really get negatively affected. I hope this helps increase Firefox's market share to make it more competitive to Chrome.

The fact that Disney use DRM means that Mozilla should not have done this is a weak point at best. DRM is used by most media companies.

I feel like people just get angry at Mozilla for the hell of it without understanding that they have to pay their employees somehow. Also Mozilla could "team up" with any org and someone would find a way to get angry over it.

Well that's scummy and doubt it was done naively.

Maybe covered by NDA or could be forged?

I don't know how it works if you accept the NDA and get promoted within.

Wish I was greeted with shots on my first day of work.

Does sound like a nasty environment in terms of the sexism though.

Interesting. Guess this story is more sensationalism from the media

Saw this on Apple News suggest on side bar but when clicked, it said it was unavailable and disappeared from Apple News altogether. Still a few stories about it on Apple News from other news outlets though.

Don't know whether it glitched or was purposely removed.

Yeah, the Walmart burner phone will literally end up burning
