Great job! Is there a way to donate to the project?

Internal dash cam video and/or audio.

It’s probably an SSD for a Fusion Drive setup: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_Drive

It seems to check out for iMac in 2019.

Besides the other mentioned reasons: exposure through the app store can be a motivator too.

It’s likely mostly Google and a bit of Amazon: Casting support requires Google Play Services installed on the device. Google Play Services is only allowed to be used (as in: allowed by Google) if the Android device also comes with many other Google apps. Amazon probably doesn’t want their device to become a Google-centric device. That’s likely the reason.

What they didn’t mention is that hat guy is an Alpine user.

I looked it up and it seems to be the 2020 version. I recently got it with a Steam Deck that I bought second hand.

If I recall correctly, it was meant as a measure against fingerprinting. It’s basically one less thing to uniquely define a user based on the info that the browser gives to a website. I’m not sure if it’s still like that, cause it’s been easily a year since I used LibreWolf.

I applaud LibreWolf’s efforts, but the hard-coded timezone makes it unusable for me. Other than that, it’s a great browser. I used it several months until the timezone confusion got the best of me.

My Xbox Wireless Controller couldn’t connect with Bluetooth until after a firmware update. The update required a Windows machine and the Xbox Accessories app (VM didn’t work) or an Xbox One (360 didn’t work).

For me, the sweet spot is IntelliJ with the vim plugin. If you want to give emacs another try, I recommend Spacemacs. I use Spacemacs sometimes, but not for code.

It seems like this might break the GDPR rules for consent:

Any element of inappropriate pressure or influence which could affect the outcome of that choice renders the consent invalid.

https://gdpr-info.eu/issues/consent/

or if the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is dependent on the consent despite such consent not being necessary for such performance.

I’m not a lawyer though, so maybe a legal expert can chime in.

edit: the jury is still out it seems:
