What if you're currently listening to music, or on a VoIP call, or any other list of things that requires you to NOT mute the sound because Facebook is being stupid?
Stop loading tens of megabytes without my direct consent.
Stop taking control away from me and making me have to jump through hoops to get it back.
If I want to watch a video I will goddamned well click on the PLAY button. If I do not click on the PLAY button chances are the video was not interesting to me in the first place.
Reusing passwords for all the non-critical crap isn't necessarily a bad idea. If a site is just 'a place' to you, with no access to your credit card or anything that can cost you money, may as well make logging in easy.
Epic Games says passwords were not taken in any way. ZDNet says they were. Summary says to change your passwords elsewhere if they're the same or similar.
Are we assuming Epic Games is lying about the scope of the breach?
Which leads to, "We have discovered you have an account on MySpace created three days after the site started and never used. You failed to disclose this to the border agents and is considered reasonable suspicion to search all your belongings etc. etc."
I have no Twitter account, no Snapchat, no WhatsApp etc. I have an old Facebook account under my real name that I used to play Farmville and such about... a decade ago or thereabout?
I stay in touch with friends over an ancient MUCK, but I bet border control would have no f'ing clue what a MU* is.
[O]ne stolen password should not give an attacker (or pen tester) the leverage to access an organization's entire computing environment, exfiltrating all documents along the way.
What if it's the lead system administrator's password? Whitelisting IP addresses/ranges for out-of-the-building connections to allow telecommuting while still making it hard on an attacker?
Not everyone will want to leave a message for whatever reason.
Perhaps he's been applying for a job, but the HR drone has a list of 20 candidates to call back. You weren't at the phone? You go to the bottom of the list.
Or perhaps like recently when I had a couch delivered. Delivery van calls ahead to check if anyone is home; they are unlikely to leave a message because why would they? When you hear it six hours later it's pointless!
Sometimes you just have to pick up the phone when it rings - and this is said by someone who absolutely hates talking on the phone in the first place even with people I know well!
The ed2k protocol had several advantages over torrents, one of the larger being that you could search the network itself for rarer files (single mp3 files or stuff like that) without having to have access to Pirate Bay etc.
Hell, the network would even work if your ISP blocks all DNS lookups (and you don't use Google DNS, of course) to Pirate Bay.
eDonkey and eMule may be pretty old protocols, but remember: Just because it's old doesn't mean it's bad, and just because it's new doesn't mean it's better.
From a European point of view, from someone who has no idea what the local laws are in Chicago, it sounds like you're encouraging allowing vigilante justice.
Twitch caters to the demographic that have panic attacks if there is a single nano-second in their lives that the rest of the world can't witness. They are just giving their customers what they want.

And Facebook would NEVER go and 'accidentally' reset your settings for 'improved experience', right?

I checked the one I'm referring to and a Sowelu logged in just yesterday. I'm guessing we're in the same place, enjoying the carpets on the walls. ;-)

Jesus was only a demigod - his mother was human.

Stick with the alliteration.

Is it just me, or does HDMI seem kinda pointless for playing NES games?
... win?
You should look up gun-related deaths per capita in the US and in various European countries, then try to apply your logic again. :-)
"Okay, so my password this week is Password ..." *flips through calendar to check week number* "... Password31."
To perform the same actions and expect different results is ... par for the course, I guess.

See title. 'Nuff said.
Alright, let me try to clarify.

It was unclear what he would do if he was expecting a call from a number he doesn't know in advance.
This kind of primitive, nonsensical outburst of illogical rage is exactly why Americans shouldn't be allowed to have firearms at all. :-)

Man, I would hate getting a parking ticket in space.
I bet the fine is astronomical.
