Or set up Overseerr so she can request it herself. If you’re on a fast connection you can go from request to it being in Plex in about five minutes if set to auto approve.
Lots of sites do it on the email fields for some reason. I’m far more likely to miss type my email address, twice, than my password manager is likely to somehow complete it wrong.
The biggest red flag is when they try and stop you from pasting your password (or anything else for that matter) breaking password managers.
There are years-long arguments on social media with companies who do this with actual security experts telling them they’re hurting security (including referencing organisations like the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre) and their only response is “we don’t allow pasting for security reasons” but they can never explain how it helps security - because it doesn’t. It drives me mad.
and now Google of all companies wants to lock down the whole internet?
Of all the companies, Google always seemed the most likely, both to want to and to be successful. They’ve tried before, sometimes in small ways, sometimes in larger more obvious ways (AMP, the implementation of content filtering in Chrome etc.).
They’re the world’s largest advertising and data harvesting company. It’s their business. Of course they want to lock the internet down to serve their goals of learning as much about you as possible and using that data to shove ads in your face.
Whenever using any Google/Alphabet product you have to ask yourself, “am I ok with this thing I’m about to use being built by the world’s largest advertising company?”. The answer should be “no” more than it is “yes”, particularly for things that have access to lots of your data, like web browsers, phones, home speakers etc.
I feel like the bit that gets missed in these conversations is how terrible Waze has become in the last few years. The UI has always been awful, but it’s started just straight up not working any more. Each release seems to introduce new bugs.
I can’t remember the last time I had an “oh shit, it saved me 20 minutes” moment with it. More often than not it seems like it’s just using me as an experiment to try out increasingly insane new routes for no benefit (I know it has to send a certain portion of its users on crazy routes to try them out, but it seems like it’s always me).
The only reason is to get reports of speed cameras, but Apple Maps has started doing that now and seems to be a bit less insane when it comes to routing.
Interesting. I do that for my home address (the entrance to the underground carpark is on a different street to the actual address), with a saved “Home Carpark” location and it always navigates me there when I choose to navigate Home in CarPlay.
I don’t think I could predict the actions of a constituency that repeatedly, over several years and multiple elections, voted for Boris Johnson. Uxbridge has to be a toss up.
I think they might mean bricked up, as in the windows have been bricked over?
Or maybe they’re associated with buildings built during a certain period that are now mostly empty due to a boom and bust cycle?
Evans has been impressive. Not the hardest test in the world but he’s looked commanding and composed so far.
