The fines are no doubt cheaper than actually doing something about it. Plus if they do something and are even moderately successful then he’d have less of an excuse for doing nothing about Russian disinformation and other bullshit.

Good to know. Thanks. Still a shady thing to do. Why have it ignore the global setting?

Yup. Teams ignores default browser and opens URLs in Edge. I have to right click copy and open in Firefox. I refuse to be forced to use Edge

Yay capitalism

Surely this is self defeating? Everyone seeing these insane price increases will scare off any potential new customers and drive away the customers they do have. Sure it might increase revenue in the short term but ultimately it’ll kill the product. Or is that the point? Make as much money as they can with as little effort as possible and then let it die?

For a modern Desert Strike check out Cleared Hot on Steam. It’s not out yet but it looks promising and it’s by a guy who wanted something like Desert Strike. Funnily enough it came up in a similar thread on Reddit a while back and I added it to my wishlist there and then.

Lol. This is perfect

That seems unnecessarily rude

I like to buy the phone outright rather than get one on contract but the flagship phones are just so expensive nowadays. My S8’s battery is getting steadily worse so I’ll probably upgrade when I can no longer ignore it. At the minute I just don’t feel like I can justify such a massive expense for something that will essentially just be more of the same only a bit bigger and a bit faster. Maybe I’ll go for a Pixel instead.

One day I’ll upgrade my S8

I’d like something that will take a photo of a supermarket receipt and record every item. I want to be able to, for example, check the price history of my favourite breakfast cereal or a bottle of milk. I’ve got a shoebox of receipts dating back a few years and I’d love to be able to do some kind of price comparison on them but with minimal effort coz I’m lazy.

What a stupid response

Just wow

Can’t sleep and I need a distraction

I’d argue there’s more to it than that. You can do more with a sink than you can with a dishwasher.
