Reddit challenged its designation on the basis that it is mostly a text-based discussion platform, and links to videos uploaded elsewhere on the internet should not be factored in. The Irish regulator counter-argued that the audio-visual content on the platform is extensive, and pointed to its enormous reach, with 73 million daily users.

Could not find any post statistics, but they probably are correct and percentage wise uploaded videos should be at the bottom, but total count probably is too large to be simply disregarded. Reddit probably has more videos than Vimeo which is purely video based. And if Reddit would be in the clear then so should be Twitter and Facebook since those too are primarily text based.

Because most people did not use 3rd party apps and do not care about site′s management. Why move to someplace else if everything works great where you already are.

It should fix system files that are not in expected state (I assume corruption, missing, wrong permissions etc.). Maybe it was more useful in the past, but after trying it couple times around 8 years ago and never seeing any benefit, I have never thought of using it since.

My colleague said it fixed some random issue once or twice after he was out of ideas.

If system is truly messed up, it’s often faster and more reliable to just reinstall it, especially if you do not have much custom config.

While it sounds ridiculous, there is a reasoning for this even nowadays:

Any periodic activity with a rate faster than one minute incurs the scrutiny of the Windows performance team, because periodic activity prevents the CPU from entering a low-power state. Updating the seconds in the taskbar clock is not essential to the user interface, unlike telling the user where their typing is going to go, or making sure a video plays smoothly. And the recommendation is that inessential periodic timers have a minimum period of one minute, and they should enable timer coalescing to minimize system wake-ups.

Found 1 test that seems to confirm battery life is slightly worse (2%) with seconds enabled. But this is true only when nothing is going on on screen. If you would actually work on PC, I imagine difference would be practically nonexistent.

All that said, I use seconds on my private and work PC. Was pissed when MS initially removed this as an option.

They think ads are just the normal price you pay for surfing the web.

Which is great, offsets us who do use adblocks. It would be awful if majority of users would use adblocks.

No idea what kind of level prioritising is meant, but all governments should provide benefits to children since any country needs their population to be healthy and not decline. You want young working able people to replace old population so that there are enough workers and taxpayers to keep country going.

Walpy is also pretty good. Has various categories and credits each wallpaper′s author.

Teams in Teams is the naming I hate the most. Should have called them communities to match Viva Engage (Yammer) or just groups.

I thought the comment was for R5 1600 which is close to my R5 2600 and those Intels were close in performance. Checked specs of them and I see they are not, also thought that i5 6600K was 4/8. In this case, yeah, upgrade probably was more than noticeable.

Sounds like some bad software or something extra CPU intensive then. I use R5 2600 on W11 and it can handle everything I need with ease like web browsing (depending on pages and tab count it can be quite demanding), at least 3 VMs at the same time (2 Windows, 1 Linux), gaming, video transcoding. All that is not happening at the same time, but I can’t remember last time I checked Task Manager to see what is using my CPU.

Has been a thing since at least 2006.

Insane that there was no one from Disney side who did not try to stop this in the first place. Don’t mind the empathy, nobody saw this as a bad move for their image? Unless they were being sued for 100+ M I don’t see how this made sense financially for them.

And this terrible dry response from them, insane.

I am pretty sure this was being taught for maybe 1 day in 1st grade after you learn about numbers. For first grader learning analogue clock probably is also a fun activity.

Another thing that comes in mind is native PWA support. Currently you need an extension.

Doubt it, because we have ″Microsoft Government″

I use adblock so have no reference point how it looks like without adblock. I assume you would just scroll a bit lower to get actual results?

What’s a better alternative? Have tried all major ones except paid ones and I always return to Google. Maybe for basic stuff Duck Duck Go / Bing is fine, but once you start searching for local / non-English stuff, results were underwhelming.

Majority also like Google. Like it or not, they still provide the best search engine.

Not sure what happened to it, but this was a thing already in 2005.

They just don’t get it. Once everyone will use AI toilet and AI toothbrush they will sing a different tune.
