The problem is data centers use potable water in their heat exchangers and in the process turn it into non-potable water.

However, this is as stupid as when Johnson recommended buying a new kettle to save on energy bills.
A new fridge, washing machine, dishwasher... I can understand that.
But a kettle is nearly 100% efficient at using electricity to turn cold water into boiling water.
And spending the money to get (I guess) an insulated kettle (is that a thing?!) to get closer to 100% efficient is not going to save you any money.

Fucking clown show

Years ago, I played with AWS then contacted their support to make sure any AWS billing to my account was disabled.
I thought I'd try it again recently, and couldn't log in.
I still don't think I'm missing anything.

I'd rather have VPS or server providers where I know exactly what I'm getting per month no matter what, tho I've ran near data transfer surcharges.

Remember when he randomly called that rescue diver a pedo?
Pure projection

It's more than just views. It's rewatches, binge watches, complete vs interrupted episode watches, probably even time skips.
Likely also where the view comes from, like a specific search vs general recommendations vs targeted recommendations

You put the prices up because you can and you get more money out of the customers, and then you pass it on to the shareholders because the business you’re in is providing a good return to your shareholders.

Why privatising things like water, communication, power, healthcare etc is a bad idea.
Profits should be derived from excess needs, not essential.

There's a superfluous box that isn't clear to the end user what it is for.
A box like that might stop generic bots from signing up (I presume a real user should leave the box empty, but that isn't clear from the UI). But anybody targeting you will ensure their bots don't populate that box.
On a design note, the box is a different size, different theme, and is labeled entirely differently to the other inputs.

I presume all your aria tags are correct?
Are the hint-text-as-labels still visible when the inputs have been filled (ie do they turn into an actual label)?
Is there perhaps a better way to label the password box, other than the masking * ?

I've read elsewhere it's actually a problem with libwebp not just chrome.
Basically, anything that relies on libwebp (ie can play libwebp) is vulnerable.

Complaining about enshitificatiom is just enshitification of discourse.
/s

It's the latest buzzword for displeasure against big corpos. It is, unfortunately, going to get misused

Someone needing an organ transplant doesn't sound like "younger" or "healthier" people.
According to your criteria, regardless of vaccine efficacy: this sounds like someone that should have been vaccinated.
