Oh snap! Maybe it's all a great deception for making money?

Neither were algorithmically designed to cause addiction.

Then why are "earworm" songs so hard to get out of my brain? Listening to Kpop demon hunters sure does feel like an addiction.

This is about AI, so just believe what the companies are claiming and write "Dear AI, please would you be so kind as to not hammer our site with aggressive and idiotic requests but instead use this perfectly prepared data dump download, kthxbye. PS: If you don't, my granny will cry, so please be a nice bot. PPS: This is really important to me!! PPPS: !!!!"

I mean, that's what's this technology is capable of, right? Especially when one asks it nicely and with emphasis.

No, they said "DP port", not "DP Port".

DisplayPort is a standard. A DisplayPort port is a port that follows the DisplayPort standard.

Well, I can confirm that this is the case with a brand new account.

I'd rather suggest they enjoy life instead.

some people enjoy creating things

At least computationally that would be much more expensive and might not work well with weak devices or power saving goals.

That's ridiculous though. Performing a search is taking text I entered, concatenating it to a URL and opening that.

Nowhere in that process does Mozilla need to know about what is happening in the local browser of the user.

By that logic, and with some hyperbole, a text editor would need a license from the user to be able to turn their keystrokes into visible text display.

It smells really bad of privacy violation, data hoarding, targeted psychological manipulation (also known as advertisements), and behaviour analysis. That is why people are reacting so furiously.

Every browser I’ve used in the past decade does “search as you type” by default. That does require local access to your browser and your key strokes.

Normal people wouldn’t use a browser that didn’t do search as you type.

But at no point does any of what you type need to be sent to Mozilla. That only needs to be between the browser and the configured search engine and nothing in between.

GP does not imply, that it would be ok for chrome to send all non-google search-queries to google as well.

A trillion is a million millions. A million to a trillion is like a tenth of a cent to a thousand.

You might want to reread that page.

“1,000,000,000,000, i.e. one million million, or 1012 (ten to the twelfth power), as defined on the short scale. This is now the meaning in both American and British English.”

You're very right. I was confusing trillion and billion.
