Because the point is not what happens when the user/administrator should reboot, the point is what happens if the user/administrator ignores that advice for a week or two.

Reddit [0], for one. I'm beyond sure that Discord has at least one community for this as well, but somehow piracy feels morally okay compared to Discord silo-ing off areas of the internet - ergo, I have no link, sorry.

> Looking at you, Borderlands 3

I must not have hit this yet - my girlfriend and I recently started playing through after finding it cheap on Greenmangaming, and it plays fine. Neither of us have super powerful PCs, just 6600XTs, but the level of bugginess (such as the game jumping to default monitor every so often) is about what I would expect for Windows too given how complicated modern games are.

I wouldn't necessarily assume so, and neither does TFA:

>According to researchers at the University of Missouri, people who develop this condition are also three times more likely to be involved in a vehicle accident.

They don't mention lack of light, but instead associate the higher crash rate with sleep disorders brought on by consistently working graveyard shifts.

Because I did oil changes at my grandparents house when I was younger. I didn't live there, but there was space, tooling, help, breakfast, and an excuse to visit afterwards.

"Politicians are idiots, the law should be X" is a trope, but finding a wording that doesn't run afoul of edge cases is very, very, difficult, even before lobbying and perverse incentives make things worse. Note I'm not saying this law was made in good faith, but starting an argument from an assumption of ignorance instead of malice seems more likely to change people's opinion in your favour.

> A friend and I were sitting at a bar, iPhones in pockets, discussing our recent trips in Japan and how we’d like to go back. The very next day, we both received pop-up ads on Facebook about cheap return flights to Tokyo.

> A private conversation with a friend about how I’d run out of data led to an ad about cheap 20 GB data plans

> Suddenly I was being told [sic] mid-semester courses at various universities

I absolutely belive Facebook can find system information like data caps, or can read notifications (as they explicitly ask for this to auto-fill SMS-based 2FA logins). As far as being in the same location as your buddy you took a trip with, that's a lack of imagination on the advertisers part - you get ads to return to Japan the same way you get ads for the vacuum you just. bought. As far as the writer possibly going back to school? I'd say many writers enjoy writing - so many, in fact, that prices have been depressed for decades. I'd assume many writers have to return to school and change careers.

Is it possible Facebook is listening? I won't dismiss it without at least reading the article. But the linked article reads like the author believes people are unique and, while they are, they're also far more predicatable than we like to pretend.

> My TV needed an update via internet.

How could it possibly know it needed an update? And what could your advantage be letting it update, considering it would otherwise be forever air-gapped?
