Have tried any VR games? It's one of the few things I still keep Windows around for

Love ya, Steve.

Since health care is already under the purview of the provinces it kind of make sense to also let them handle dental. The claim in raising in max household income is not insignificant either. However, ultimately it comes down to whether you trust the province to not cock it up. Right now I don't think I would trust the Ontario government with it.

Sorry, I don't think I understand what you're suggesting. Are you saying encryption keys should themselves be encrypted?

FYI this story isn't about plaintext passwords, it's about plaintext encryption keys to chat history.

I kind of agree that this may be a little overblown. Exploiting this requires device and filesystem access so if you can get the keys you can already get a lot more stuff.

The DJ Khaled one was him just completely embarassing himself unintentionally. Funny because he's so full of himself. Conan's was funny, but you knew it was going to be before watching because it's Conan

After the DJ Khaled episode I knew nothing else would be as entertaining for me so I stopped there

They've admitted they have a problem with getting new players so everything they do needs to somehow draw in new players. Getting their current playerbase to create and buy/sell isn't enough of a reason to create such tools especially if they don't think they can match the experience of the other platforms, hence the technological competition. They need to be able to provide excellent tools and an excellent way to host and share creations to draw in creatives who could become new players.

There's little business sense to make it exclusively for the current player base. You'd be risking wringing your customers dry. It HAS to attract new players and thus new income sources. If they can't compete, then it's not worth the time and money to create and maintain those tools. You compete with other companies in a space purely by investing your time and money in that space because anything spent is expected to eventually turn a profit.

While the obesity part is kind of a digression, I think they were pretty clear: protein powder is a waste if you have a typical American diet and are not exercising, which is apparently most Americans. While protein powder on its own isn't snake oil, it effectively is for most people.

Someone could reply to your comment saying they just follow their municipal guidelines and they could be doing more than someone with a long list of whatever because their government has implemented better climate action systems.

Grilling individuals on their personal contributions is unproductive because climate change is a systemic, societal issue that is beyond any individual.
