    Personally I have the 8 Pro and I'm constantly impressed with how good the battery life is. I can go two days without a charge, something that my older pixels would fail at. It's also held up much better -- im assuming due to the charging changes they've implemented in recent versions of Android

    Hmm? This has been working for me the past week. I downloaded some pkpasses since my flight only offered the "Apple" download, and it imported and was usable on Android.

    This is more or less what we threw together

    Sauce - All blended in a food processor:

    • Approx 1 jar of roasted red peppers
    • 2 tbsp tomato paste
    • 2 heaping tbsp whipped cream cheese
    • 1 cup chicken stock
    • dash cayenne pepper + garlic salt + pepper + oregano + fresh basil to taste

    Saute quarter of an onion and 1 red bell pepper until soft, then add pre-cooked shredded chicken, sauce, and spinach. Cook until chicken is warmed and spinach wilted. Serve over noodles of choice (we did it over some chickpea noodles)

    It was very good! If we were to change anything I thought added just a bit more "spice" / kick to it would have been great. Otherwise it was top notch.

    Pretty sure they can't bundle it. AFAIK the libraries required for it ship with Chrome / Android and it's not an open standard. The hacky weird workarounds are people brute forcing it.

    In the US pronunciation the "h" is silent in "herb" so "an" is used as the following sound is a vowel. "an herb" in US English is correct

    Helpful, but not what I'm looking for personally. I want to be logged into the same account, just have groups of tabs related to different tasks I'm working on. Could be documentation for various frameworks or tooling related to whichever language I'm working on. Chrome had this and it worked great.

    Finally. Have made the switch over to Firefox a few months ago and this almost made me switch back. I swap context a lot at work / home so being able to group (and minimize said group) tabs helps a lot.

    Edit: You're thinking of the remaster. This is the packaging / bundle of all the old games that came out in 2012 that was exclusive to Origin.

    Have noticed this lately, and it absolutely sucks. I'm not a pirate, I just want to be able to purchase books (like I used to physically) and read them at my convenience offline or on any device I like. I've been sticking with services where I can do this currently or avoided purchasing those books when I can't.

    While they remain mostly unchanged from the Origin version, it does include some updates to the map editors to make them work in 2024.

    See here for some comments from the producer that made it happen:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/commandandconquer/comments/1b92iqv/comment/ktt0qyk/

    Copied below to save you the trouble of visiting reddit:

    Dear C&C Community,

    It’s been a few years since I had the opportunity to reach out and engage with you directly. I’ve truly missed that. I hope you have all stayed safe, healthy, and positive since my last post in September of 2020.

    I realize many of you have been wondering about the status of Command & Conquer over the past several years. After the launch of the first C&C Remastered Collection, I told our Community Council I would continue to try and find opportunities to support the C&C community and franchise wherever possible. With that in mind, I do have an announcement we think the entire C&C Community can get excited about. The C&C Ultimate Collection is now live on Steam

    https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/39394/Command__Conquer_The_Ultimate_Collection/

    How did this come to happen? Well, a while back I heard some team members at EA had the desire to launch some of our classic titles on Steam. After hearing about this initiative, several of us proposed we include the C&C Ultimate Collection. We knew this has been a request of the C&C community for over a decade, and has been an equal goal of us passionate C&C folks around the company. As such, a dedicated strike team here at EA has been pushing to make this a reality - but we knew we couldn't do it alone. So in the spirit of our community collaboration from the Remastered Collection, we reached out to a small group of the C&C Community to understand how we could best deliver the Ultimate Collection on Steam.

    The feedback and collaboration has once again been invaluable. With improvements like better compatibility for modern operating systems and additional supported languages for both the Steam and EA App versions, we believe this is the best release of the Ultimate Collection to date.

    Alongside the launch of the Ultimate Collection on Steam, we are also excited to announce the release of the beloved map editors FinalSun and FinalAlert 2 under the GPL version 3.0 license, which can also be launched directly from the Steam version of Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2. Now over 20 years since their initial release, original creator Matthias Wagner has generously repackaged these classic editors into a more compatible version for 2024. This was achievable thanks to the technical collaboration with Luke "CCHyper" Feenan,>!!< and the kindness of Olaf van der Spek, who has graciously released his XCC Library under the GPL 3.0 license as part of this effort. We cannot thank Matthias, Luke, and Olaf enough for making this a reality for the C&C community, and are eager to see where the tools and content creation go from here.

    A huge thank you to the community playtesters who helped provide feedback on this version of the Ultimate Collection, and the organizations of CnCNet, W3DHub, and C&C Online for continuing to support these classic titles. We hope you all enjoy these improvements to the C&C Ultimate Collection - available today on Steam.

    Until next time.

    Cheers,

    Jim Vessella

    Hi, you're not wrong! My fiance was going in for an overnight so we usually cook larger portions for an early dinner. That, and the barley ended up becoming a bit more sizable unintentionally with a full portion of mushrooms in it 😬

    If you think of it as an extension of the movies, then you know what to expect. Story wise, those are fairly mediocre (and this game is canon so expect about the same). Visuals are outstanding though, and I can't speak for everyone but I'm really enjoying the gameplay and exploration.

    Firefox does not "send" it, fingerprinting is done by tagging your hardware configuration from various values and create a unique key from that - independent of being logged in or any cookies - which can be used to track you. Things like browser & device user agent, browser window size, feature support (to determine browser version), etc. All of which are passively gathered by anything you could send a request to. There are ways to reduce this that Firefox and others do (such as reducing unique values in user agent, etc) but they're not opting in to some privacy invading reporting mechanism.

    Very common tactic, unfortunately. "Rare" cars like highly sought new releases have always been hard to get a hold of, and people will manage to get the money together to make a quick buck.

    Ended up starting this one coop with a buddy after skipping the Ubisoft formula for 4-5 years. Video hits the mark that the forest is absolutely gorgeous. People and indoor scenes leave a little to be desired, but it's still quite an achievement what Massive has been able to do with Snowdrop.
