As well as a version of steam that ran directly on the console. You could login and chat with your steam friends, if I recall correctly.

Somehow, it seems, a Zambian man carrying bags of what looked like gold was allowed to stroll through security and meet the newly arrived Egyptians on the plane.

Nobody appears to know who authorised this but, according to Zambian media reports, a few cash handouts had helped ease his path.

Bribes.

I too was looking for that comment. Have an upvote, friend.

Samsung's OneUI does this by default for all connections .

I couldn't watch this from the UK. I had to use a VPN. I have to say that from personal, and this is anecdotal however, I lived next to a food bank until a few months ago and every day that it was open (3 times a weeks), the queue for that place was spilling onto the streets. I remember remarking how many normal people I saw, families with children after them, people I would expect to see in a supermarket are waiting outside food banks.

I think that if you know where to look, it is that bad. If you don't, though, it can be easy to miss as most people suffer is silence it seems, out of embarrassment or something else, I don't know. I wonder how many of these people I saw outside the food bank tell people they know that they are forced to use a food bank? I'm not judging them for potentially not saying something to anyone, if they feel embarrassed, but at the same time if people suffer in silence, the issue can be ignored.

My personal opinion is that things are that bad, we just don't give it visibility and we don't talk about it.

The article mentioned tear gas canisters be equipped instead. I can't wait for a delivery robot to be near my property, someone tries to mess with it and gets gassed, then I get to enjoy tear gas as well from my front porch.

Arctic Pro Wireless headset might be expensive but they use proprietary WiFi signal from their receiver to the headphones that makes response time so fast, the latency is a non issue and almost equivalent to a cable connection.

£5 for an 8 pack of coke zero decaf at the supermarket, I just checked. What and where are you looking at?

I don't understand your issue. It 100% could work that way as Microsoft could simply block Gmail requests because, I don't know, let's say they are constantly receiving malware from Gmail servers in attachments.

Email from Gmail to Outlook would fail but email from Gmail to Yahoo to Outlook would not as Yahoo to Outlook is not blocked.

This feature can be achieved very easily by them without making accounts. They already have a list of Instagram usenames. When a new user makes an account on Threads, check the username against a simple list of Instagram usernames and if it matches, throw an error stating the username is not available.

Why does that person need to have an actual account on Threads?
