In my opinion, if someone tried to reset your password on a service, there is absolutely nothing the site owner can do. I'm not sure how contacting them would resolve the issue.
I develop websites and management systems for a living. Having a user contact you over someone else trying to reset your password really is a situation that doesn't need an email reply from the user.
If you do reply, all you're going to get is a shrug and "There's nothing we can do about it. Maybr try changing your username, email address, or password."
I really fail to see how this type of notification woulf warrant a reply.
No-reply has its purpose. The problem is it's been abused.
The original intention is for user-initiated notifications like password resets, or other automated notifications from sources other than newsletters.
Unfortunately some (most) places forgot what the purpose of no-reply was.
Also, the email landscape has changed slightly over the years. Transactional email services (like Sendgrid, Mailgun, etc) have changed the way we send emails.
Since sending transactional emails is usually decoupled from the primary email service, it makes it difficult to reply to an outgoing only address. In most cases you can set a Reply-to address, but for some reason businesses are not setting it.
If you have 1 key, generally it's much, much easier (and affordable) to get a duplicate made. If you have no keys, generally your only route is the dealer for modern cars. Depending on the year and manufacturer, you can not make a new key from just the VIN. Ford specifically dumps their records after 10 years.
I worked in a locksmith shop a few years ago, and every vehicle is different. Many manufacturers you can simply "clone" the existing key, and it will simply work without issue. Some other manufacturers you need to cut the key to a new key, and program the new key into the system. Sometimes it's as simple as turning the existing key in the ignition to accessory, leaving it there for a few seconds, turn it off, remove the key and insert the new key and turning it to accessory as well (most 2005-2012 Chevrolet's are this way). Sometimes you need to turn to Accessory 3-10 times for it to program, then you can start the vehicle with the key.
Some need you to use an external device plugged into the CAN bus to program the new key in (many Fords, and Lincolns).
When it comes to imports, however, all bets are off. We built keys, and rebuild ignitions to jimmy-rig systems together in some cases. You do what you need to do to make the customer happy. Our experiences were with older models, and nothing too technically advanced. Simple transponder based keys and ignitions, which are generally easy to work with.
My personal vehicle uses a proximity fob, and they are much more complicated. Just as I left the locksmith shop, they came out with a way to clone the "key" part (you stick it in a slot in the center console to start the car), but not the proximity feature. If I wanted an additional proximity key, I would need to buy a new one from the dealer, and have them program it in to the tune of around $400. Thankfully I have two, but if one becomes lost I'll buy another without hesitation, as my body wouldn't be able to contain my anxiety I would have with the thought of losing the only key.
My Moto X Play (2 year old phone) still gets 2 days battery without issue.
In addition to regular voice & text communications, I have two VOIP lines using Grandstream's GS Wave app. Works fantastic over both Wifi and 3G/4G/LTE.
You can knock out something in 30 minutes in Python that would take longer in anything else and the performance difference isn't worth doing it in something else.
In reality this could be said of most scripting languages, including PHP, JavaScript, Bash, etc.
I use OpenRC on Funtoo Linux. I get very fast boot times since moving to SSDs. I've never actually timed it, but definitely in the 5 second range from POST to login screen.
But I also remove services if I don't need them, unlike the majority of Ubuntu users that have no idea how to do that.
I don't "read" code. I parse it with my eyes, and visualize in my mind what it does and how it will execute. As I look through each code file and put the pieces together I can see the bigger picture and how all of the code interacts.
When I'm building an application, I do the reverse. I "see" what I want the outcome to be, and build the code to make it happen. Sometimes mulling the structure for days, weeks, months before actually writing any code.
I'm being quite serious about this... is there a term for this? It's quite difficult to explain to people who don't understand what I mean, and so far the majority of people I've spoken to about it look at me like I'm a nutcase.
I still have an FX8320 and it idles around 25C. Under full load I've seen it spike up to about 60C, but that's not the norm. This is with the stock cooler that came in the box. I run Funtoo Linux with CPU frequency scaling on, so I suspect that helps quite a bit.
I built this system in early 2013. Only paid around $550 CAD for the CPU, motherboard, and 32GB of DDR3 RAM.
Still runs great. If I were to upgrade today, I'd go for a Ryzen 1700. According to Passmark it would nearly double my performance, and halve my power usage.

Still better than chrome. *shrugs*

You clearly have no idea what Creative Cloud is....
It's the entire Adobe collection of "Creative" applocations. Including, but not limited to, Photoshop, Illustrator, Animate, Acrobat (pro), etc.
It is very loosely coupled to a cloud storage service, but you do not have to use it.
Many manufacturers are different.

64 characters ought to be enough for everyone!
Underscores are not allowed in top level domains names, for example you can't register example_domain.com.
However, in sub-domains they are perfectly legal. For example: my_subdomain.example.com is perfectly valid.
Considering he's also using Google+, leads me to believe he likes Google's stuff.
Or... he's getting paid by Google to use/promote it.
Where is this "shit tonne of money" being spent?
Domain Validated Certificates can be purchased for about $4/yr, less if you buy multiple years.
If you know where to look, you can get them for about $4/yr.
I still prefer PHP for quick and dirty. If I need it reliable I generally use bash.
I don't use Windows, so I guess there's that. :-)

Personally I believe DANE is the future of secure websites.
CA's could still be useful for vetting entities and ensuring the domain you are connecting to is owned by the Entity you are trying to connect to.
Much like how Extended Validation certs are made, but the CA's would really need to step up their game.
I understand this is meant to be funny, but I fall in the nano camp. vi/vim and emacs be damned.

We didn't have tabs back in IE4.
Same here. Never seen it, no desire to.
"I'm working on it now... Should be ready next week!"
*Alt+Tab back to Firefox with Slashdot open*
Same difference. :-)
I meant to say "AMD's Server line of CPUs"
High end workstations, that traditionally are built with server CPUs.
I suspect the next generation of AMD's CPUs will be based on these.
Not sure how serious you are about this.

If you hate it that much, simply uninstall it.
