I disabled this 'feature' a while ago when I saw it on Twitter and forgot about it. However, recently I noticed that Twitter has been able to bypass the setting and was showing me my email under the Google option in the login provider list. I couldn't find any way to disable it.

It uses an iframe scoped to Google and I'm pretty sure that Twitter can't access my Google account data unless I select the login option but still, feels really creepy.

Amazon Kids+ is also a really good option for younger kids. Got a large number of games for a few pounds a month.

All the games are ad free and IAP free.

Yeah I'm confused by this article. I've got a Virgin Media TV box which used 25w while on standby. Maybe I'm doing the math wrong but:

25w * 24 * 365 = 219000w or 219kw per year.

At my current electricity rate that's £39.42 per year at a very minimum just for the TV box.

I use DNS66 and have done for a few years. Works really well with Chrome on Android. If you frequently use a VPN it means you need to remember to switch it back on.

Did she need to do anything after clicking the link in Discord or was the exploit completely automated?

My kids have just started to get in to Roblox, not bought anything yet but I expect it'll happen soon enough.

So that's the c6g and c7g but x86 instances are still on c5. Will AWS ever release an x86 computing instance again or is this just a sign that x86 has reached peak performance on AWS?

Yeah, that part confused me to. I'm pretty sure that if I bought a stolen xbox from some guy on a street corner and the Police find me with it, they'd not throw up their hands and say "oh well, I guess you own it now, on your way".

I assume there is a specific legal quirk with property ownership.

Yes, you are right that an enterprise agreement is probably the safest approach and it's definitely something we have looked into since the beginning of the year.

In our case, one of our games DAU went pretty crazy last Christmas which resulted in a huge increase in players (who all need to download hundreds of MB of data). Maybe if it'd continued for many months the situation would be different and that angry email from CF would have eventually arrived.

I think that when CF say unlimited bandwidth they really mean it. I manage a domain on the business level plan for a domain and I pushed over 1PB through it in January. Not a single complaint from CF and no sales calls pushing enterprise tier.

They haven't clarified their file operations costs yet though. That could get pricy but will more than likely be cancelled out by the egress savings for most use cases.

Cloudflare only charge you the icann fees for most TLDs and don't make a profit on the same. If you fancy saving a few dollars over another registrar it might be a good place?

You can also use their page rules to easily do domain forwarding or just server up some static content from S3 with caching enabled

Yeah that'd work for us! Just signed up for access :)

Really interesting, will R2 support lifecycle rules like S3 does? We write around 90 million files per month to S3, if we could replace that with R2 and have the files automatically expire after 30 days that'd be a pretty amazing price reduction for us.

It's supposed to make everyone feel like we're on one big 'virtual office'. Of course, it might be true that in a real office anyone can come up and chat when they feel like it, there isn't a very high chance of my kids running into a real meeting naked because they've just come out of a shower/pool.

I actually took a similar stance to the person in the article and after a few weeks just moved my camera to point further and further towards a wall and just keep my hands in frame. A few grumbles but no calls from HR, yet.

Just during meetings? Since January my office (~30 people) have needed to be on our webcams and headphones on 9-5 each day. The headphones are so people can ask you to quickly jump into a virtual meeting.

While I'm not interrupted very often due to my role, it's been quite a frustrating experience.

One of the games I run the infrastructure from had an issue with Proton. It caused issues with the multiplayer parts of the game.

We were forced to disable support for Proton a few months ago. We posted a bug in the Proton GitHub repo and got a great response from the Devs. The issue was resolved in the very next patch and we were able to enable Proton support again.

Other than that issue our players very rarely come to us with Proton specific issues.
