We say it just like I wrote it, as one word. Although some people use Griekse IJ, which is also two words.

Sound like igrek.

This. It is annoying for 100% of the users, but a small percentage will be fooled and end up using OneDrive and probably end up paying.

It literally works like spam. Very little effort to cast a wide net and a small succes rate is enough to make a profit. Of course long term they keep pushing people out. But hey, profits this year, we'll see about next years when it hits us ..

In Dutch www is faster. Never understood why one would give a letter a name that consists of 2 parts.

That comment about sleep...that's about where I tell them to go fuck themselves. I'll find a new job, I'm not going to put up with bullshit like that.

Already canceled a long time ago. When I subbed they had all the good shows in one spot. Then everything got split up among others services and it was no longer worth it.

Plus the content they make themselves is hit or miss. And the misses are in far bigger numbers.

Seems like they brought themselves to a spot where growing more is very hard so they start messing with subscriptions to get more money.

Just curious what they are going to do when that stops working, because I think the next step is just to realize more growth is very hard. And anything they change may add subscribers but it may also cause them to leave, so they have to turn the knobs very carefully.

I have no clue why any anybody thought I would pay more for hardware if it goes with some stupid trend that will be blow up in our faces soon or later.

I don't get they AI hype, I see a lot of companies very excited, but I don't believe it can deliver even 30% of what people seem to think.

So no, definitely not paying extra. If I can, I will buy stuff without AI bullshit. And if I cannot, I will simply not upgrade for a couple of years since my current hardware is fine.

In a couple of years either the bubble is going to burst, or they really have put in the work to make AI do the things they claim it will.

The funny thing is, that whole thing just proved that the spying didn't work. Trump was still almost killed. So the spying and mass surveillance did still not prevent that.

I guess they should stop violating everybody's privacy, but obviously they don't care.

Well, how is the system supposed to know that you want the crack to do something to that executable? The anti virus just sees something is happening and flags it. It does not see a difference.

Not at all, a crack does something to an executable file that you use. Malware would do the exact same thing.

Of course he does. But a standard house power connection does not deliver the amount of power you need to charge a car.

So you need to build a charging pole at your house if you want to charge ar home. Which is another investment.

And if you are in a somewhat remote area and there are not many charging poles around you, you are also very limited in how far and how fast you can travel.

So there really is no point investing in a charging pole and an EV car if the car is not capable of doing to the same things that a gas car can do.

EDIT: thanks for the responses. I'm still not convinced that electric is a good option for me, but some issues seem to be fixed or not as bad as I thought.

Still, within my price range it will take a while before I can pay one.

Funny. I don't have a creditcard and I don't want one. That is the only reason I sometimes, maybe once or twice a year I use PayPal.

I wish them good luck building a profile on 2 purchases. Also, I'm in the EU and I suspect this will not be legal here.

I also cannot believe somebody thought it would be a great idea to introduce even more tracking and ads. Don't they understand they are driving away customers?
