It’s the most popular web browser in the world. Direct access to the browser windows and browsing data of the majority of Internet users would be the point.

Also, the stupid name chosen by mid-1990s edgelords trying to be funny is still stupid.

I have an appointment to get my first tattoo this afternoon!

Teslas have also have their own 360° array of cameras that may or may not be active and recording even when they’re parked.

A smartphone in my hand.

Talking of the news on September 11th, 2001, I had that day off and was sleeping in that morning when my sleep was interrupted by my (landline) phone ringing, I groggily answered and it was my best friend frantically telling me to put on the news. I fumbled, still half-asleep, for the TV remote while mumbling “what channel?” and she said “any channel!” just as I turned the TV on and, sure enough, whatever channel it was on was showing what was happening.

It’s a funny trope in film and TV to have characters generically tell each other to “turn on the TV/radio/etc.” without specifying which channel or whatever, and the required plot-fueling info just happens to be broadcasting live on whatever station is already tuned in. That’s the only day I remember that actually happening to me in real life.

Firefox started as a fork of the Mozilla browser that was really good in its own right, got rid of bundled stuff people didn’t want from the previous project, gathered user and developer support, and caught on. Why shouldn’t a good fork of Firefox be able to do the same?

That’s some serious lag when you can get that close to the thing and the textures still haven’t loaded. What’s your ping time?
