Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Why do they even put the option there if it doesn't do anything?

It's dependant on cookies. If whatever you checked that on deletes its cookies it can't remember the "device". The wording is all wrong but I guess they have to do that because plebs don't know that this is running in a browser.
