I remember playing Assault on the Control Room on Halo 1 and one of the doors glitched and didn't unlock. I must have walked around those hallways for hours trying to work out where I was supposed to go

Yep, any time I've been inside a Maccy's since covid has been a long wait while countless delivery drivers walk past and pick up online orders. I've tried delivery and it's been shit every time, lukewarm food with soggy fries. I don't think their food is suited to delivery, IMO it's only popular because of momentum.

I'm part of those people. The usual argument is that everybody's phone is listening all the time, without agreeing to permissions or showing the mic notification or anything like that. I've never seen any proof of that. This article is about a bunch of shovelware apps (Pool 3D, Beer pong: Trickshot, Honey Quest etc) that aren't even listed anymore. There's nothing about them skirting permissions or hiding the notification.

People see the headline and assume it's Facebook et al.

I FUCKING HATE GIFT VOUCHERS.

I have a little stack of vouchers for places I almost never visit, all expiring at random times in the next year or so. I have to remember what shops I have them for and make sure I spend money there before they expire. It's just one more thing to worry about. "Oh, I have to buy this from Screwfix - do we have the vouchers for them? Maybe! How much? I don't know, it doesn't say on there. Has it expired yet? Not sure. Do they work online? Oh it's not working maybe we used it and forgot to bin it". And then the annoyance of spending money somewhere and forgetting to use vouchers. Why do people burden me with this and consider it a gift? Do I look like somebody who shops at John Lewis?!

Yes partially, but for some actions you need to answer security questions

Somebody signed up for an Apple account with my email address, apparently before they required email confirmation. There's no way for me to remedy this, so I'm apparently just supposed to deal with somebody else using my email for an Apple ID. Their support treated me like an idiot for an annoyingly long amount of time.

Support: "Sir I can't give you access to somebody else's account. Do you understand that?"

Me: "I don't want access, I just want to use my own email. That's my email address on that account"

Support: "If that's your email address, then that's your account sir"

Me: "No it's not my account"

Support: "Then what's your problem?"

Apple are the only company this has happened with (people commonly use my email address for things, but there's always a way to reclaim it)

These statements make it all the more maddening. How can you say it's not a triumph for one side while they literally toast champagne on your doorstep. Fucking old cunts, you know you'll all be dead soon and we'll just change the law anyway.
