Argentine town battles a parrot invasion
  • This but parrots instead of seagulls.

  • PS5 New UI Update Also Brought Ads You Can't Turn Off and Unwanted Forced News Feed to Select Titles
  • Interesting. I'd welcome the welcome hub (pun intended) but not at the cost of ads. Disabled updates for now, will wait until friends in my region update their systems 😅

  • PS5 New UI Update Also Brought Ads You Can't Turn Off and Unwanted Forced News Feed to Select Titles
  • The 'welcome hub' update was pushed in the US first and I haven't got yet - at this point I'm thinking about disabling updates until they sort this bullshit.

    But I already got unsolicited news feed notification I haven't subscribed to at least twice and they cannot be hidden. There was an ad for superbowl and whatever they were advertising (a streaming platform? Don't remeber) wasn't even available in my region (not that it being available would make this acceptable).

    Another one is showing right now. An ad to pre-order Metro - game I don't follow. It's a feed from "PlayStation".

    Sony's PS5 update that brought in the Welcome Hub seems to have also implemented forced ads and news feeds you cannot turn off completely.

    Dog poop drone cleans up the yard so you don't have to
  • My bad, didn't notice the "yard" part. Thiught they were talking about sidewalks...

  • Dog poop drone cleans up the yard so you don't have to
  • so you don't have to

    I'd prefer if dog onwers did it themselves right away rather than leave it for drones to pick up.

  • What is your favorite movie of all time?
  • The Lord of the Rings

  • Would you consider making a sandwich to be "cooking?"
  • Butter, peanutbutter and jelly?

  • God of War Ragnarok PC port suffers review bombing on Steam due to PlayStation Network account requirement
  • I sympathize with fellow PC gamers for this needles requirement (even though PSN account is my main account). I'm just surprised there's no similar backlash for other devs requiring respective account creation (EA, BioWare, Blizzard etc. etc.). Sony did not invent this practice.

  • Youtube increases Family Plan price by 56%
  • I didn't say I don't block ads on the phone. Read my other comments here.

  • Youtube increases Family Plan price by 56%
  • I use NewPipe for Youtube, there are no ads at all.

    I use AdGuard for blocking ads phone-wide and if I hadn't, Vivaldi has a built-in adblocker too.

    Bottom line is I don't see any ads without using uBlock Origin. Original commenter is "surprised more people aren't using" it like it's the only way to go, while in reality it usable only in certain scenarios. It's best for PC but not for mobile.

  • Youtube increases Family Plan price by 56%
  • For which mobile and what extensions manager?

    I'm blocking ads phone-wide, I just don't use uBlock Origin for that on the phone.

  • Youtube increases Family Plan price by 56%
  • I barely ever use PC for browsing web anymore.

  • Why do social workers get upset when you don't want their help?
  • Where do you shower? Do you have a job? If not, how do you get food, money for gas etc.?

  • Trump says there will be a blood bath, civil war and others if he loses. In your opinion whether in the US or not what do you think will happen if Harris wins?
  • I forgot greenhouses exist... I'd be terrible at this. Need a new plan for zombie apocalypse.

  • Trump says there will be a blood bath, civil war and others if he loses. In your opinion whether in the US or not what do you think will happen if Harris wins?
  • What kind of food can you grow in the mountains? Other than berries? This knowledge can become useful.

    Media Bias Bot's comments don't display correctly in Sync

    And possibly other clients?

    Could you adjust the formatting a bit?

    The whole lower part of the comment could be a "More info" link to a page where these details are explained instead appending them to every comment. Cheers!

    Can/will the CrowdStrike outage be replicated by hackers?

    The CrowdStrike cyber event affected 8.5 million Windows machines and was the biggest IT outage in history. It has "beaten" even the cyber attacks of WannaCry and NotPetya.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpe3zgznwjno

    Can/will this method be used by hackers? What would they need to do to take advantage of that vulnerability?

    EDIT: typo

    Best external drive for Shield Pro?

    Hi,

    Can anyone give some recommendations for an external storage for Nvidia Shield Pro (USB 3.0)?

    Requirements:

    • Reliability (so it won't die on me in a few years or won't start having issues with the data on it)

    • Fast (it's for the purpose of storing and playing videos, including 4K)

    • Size 8-10TB

    • Price up to ~ $255 (unless it's extremely worth it to go a little above that)

    Thanks in advance.

    -(Spoilers) I can't stand the Railroad...

    Spoilers ahead.

    I'm replaying Fallout 4. With my first playtrough I allied with the Institute. Now I wanted to have different game so I decided to ally with the Railroad. But I can't suffer them. They are just a bunch of morons and their whole agenda is ridicoulous. I'm at the stage when I'm about to officially betray the Institute by helping some synths escape. But it involves killing some innocent Institute researches and their synths to save other synths. To save a few robots I'm supposed to kill actual people and other robots? I'm trying to roleplay as a good guy here! It doesn't make any sense...

    I see the Institute as the only reasonable faction to join. People live happy and civilized lives there. They are technologically advanced and can actually change the world. ^trying ^to ^avoid ^major ^spoilers: >!Your relative lives there. You get a say on Institute future goals and if you're a good guy, you can turn that to good outcome.!<

    Brotherhood of Steel - military organisation that just hoards technology for themselves and have their heads inside their asses

    Railroad - bunch of misguided idiots.

    Has any of you actually helped the Railroad because you liked them?
