1) Thinking there's a setting/parameter to disallow fullscreen - but too lazy to look through documentation right now:) 2) Set your browser to not auto-play any media ? In firefox, media.autoplay.enabled = false does the trick nicely
Didn't they make a YouTube for kids specifically for this purpose?
Also, what in your 6-yr old's search-history has caused Google to think she needs a mortgage? (note: my now-7-yr uses my computer, but a separate browser profile, for her stuff incl school-work)
The problem isn't space. The problem is people unwilling to pay extra for extra space.
Most of my travels have been for work, where I had zero say in the booking, and no options for upgrading to a better seat.
Now, that's anecdotal, but experiences from other people confirms this - it's not people being unwilling to pay extra, it's the companies they work for who don't care whether you end up 9 hours in a too-small seat, bent in ways that would make a chiropractor flinch.
[...] for people who may not know how to build a computer, or be able to afford a high-end computer [...]
or... who doesn't care to build a computer, or who did in the past and had a shit-awful time with drivers and crappy OS, or who doesn't think Windows makes sense on a livingroom TV, or who just wants to play games, or.... yeah, lots of different reasons for preferring a console.
That's OK - According to ca every PC gamer I've met in the last 4-5 years, you can buy a PC with much more CPU power, much more GPU power, a lot more RAM, SSD storage and better everything else, for less than the cost of a (latest) Playstation. Oddly enough, you don't even have to ask about it or anything - just mention that you have a console, and they'll explain the cost-advantage of owning a PC faster than a gluten-allergic vegan will say the word, "like".
Just please understand that there's good value in a lot of the UI/UX progress made in the last 40 years - some of the UI work being added is crap, but a lot of new versions of various software does bring UI/UX improvements even though users are screaming bloody murder because a button was moved.
Being able to get "virtual honeypot" cards, that can be used once, and then all subsequent uses marked as fraudulent, could be interesting - help track down CC thieves.
Would jump on this program in a heartbeat (assuming they can use a project/programme manager), but too ill to travel at the mo*:( And, windy just makes it feel at home:)
Turning 40 this year also means I can give up on a large number of job-opportunities even here in Europe, so moving somewhere nice and with (hopefully) friendly people sounds like an idea!
I seem to recall the EU forcing some labelling requirements onto the backs of its subjugated countries, to ensure consumers have reading-material while pigging out.
You must live somewhere else than were I am - over here the last 50 years of movement to the larger cities has left lots of free space, and housing, in the smaller cities - some are in decay, but many are being maintained. Also, if there's a desire to leave the metropolises it likely will be possible to build new housing in the country-side, and also likely that it wont exactly be a mass exodus.
Note: Part of what makes housing expensive in the largest cities isn't the number of people alone, but the lack of available space to build on within the desired distance to work-centres.
Wouldn't the definition of "Desirable Areas" change, if part of the work-force decide they no longer need to live in specific towns based on a job they no longer need? I.e. if UBI results in some people deciding they do not need to work in SF, housing-pressure would drop in SF.
As for the terms of service the recipient is not a party to the contract, so it can't regulate this in any way. It can only regulate the relationship between you and Facebook, if you hand over the password they have cause to terminate your account. That can of course leave the user caught between a rock and a hard place, either they "voluntarily" hand over the password to US customs or they're refused entry into the US. But neither contract nor criminal law absolves you of any duties just because complying is difficult.
If Facebook started to suspend accounts that had been searched at the border, would the backlash be against Facebook or the US Gov?
EU has fairly unified copyright rules. Age restrictions apply, but except for a small set (e.g. Nazi symbolism in material to be sold in Germany), getting refused classification is unlikely - if you cannot/will sell a product in some EU countries because of differing age-restrictions, you wont want to sell it to non-EU countries either.
huh? Pretty sure I've seen prepaid debit(!) versions of major credit card brands sold in America to anyone who'd buy one. Thinking that'd be enough to fake being from the US-of-A, online at least.
The mouse-pointer thing on consoles is becoming more common - Warthunder is a pain in the behind with a controller, and Warframe is going to a mouse-pointer-on-consoles design as well.
As for Paragon, didn't have too much issue with the UI - the constantly crying PC players on the other hand, are annoying.

For a while I had an unskippable ad that ran for several minutes until I simply closed the tab. Didnt bother w/ YouTube for a long time after that.
I think we can already select (ca) what kinds of ads to run on our channel ..

We still shove hundreds of horses under a car hood to measure it's power
To be fair, civilized countries are slowly changing to report a car's power output in Watt (kilos of them, even)
Why?? Starship Troopers is excellent, even if the movie is largely unrelated to the book.

Explains the articles that's come out about Apple doing AR stuff internally.
I must be tired, but ... Telsa cars have an IFF system?!?

Nobody prefers controlling an FPS with thumbsticks. It is the compromise you make because you want to play on a couch.
Thanks - I'm slowly losing motor-control, and very much prefer controllers over mice.
The joke's on him though, the PS4 openly supports keyboards. Mouse? I don't know. I haven't tried.
I hope it supports mice, as otherwise the official mouse+keyboard pack from Sony would likely result in complaints.
Apparently many didn't, and even some that did were stopped esp in case of dual citizenship.
