Readit NewsI submitted it to the site a few minutes ago.
I have a MSI RTX 3070 2 fan model. It hasn't damaged my PCI-E slot (I think), but it's weight and sag causes some bending that now makes it so that my fan bearing makes a loud noise if spun up high.
My solution has been to turn my PC case so the motherboard is parallel to the ground and the GPU sticks straight up, eliminating the sag. Whisper quiet now.
If this is happening with my GPU, I shudder to imagine what it's like with other GPUs out there which are much bigger and heavier.

I bought some lightbulbs from Amazon recently. I am quite sure I purchased some 7-8 watt LED candle bulbs. I received a package of 50 watt incandescents, which was definitely not what I wanted. I went to my Amazon account and it showed I had purchased the incandescents. I looked at my email receipt, and all contained was is a list of links to Amazon, which led to their site, showing I had purchased the incandescents. The lack of text in the email meant I had no way to determine what I actually purchased and whether the mistake was on my end, Amazon's or the third party vendor.
Globalism: it's for spiders, too.
"Joro spiders also appear to be able to capture and feed on at least one insect that other local spiders are not: adult brown marmorated stink bugs, an invasive pest that can infest houses and damage crops."

Every few weeks I get an email from Uber Eats with a generous-looking promotional code, to the tune of 25% off. If I line up an order on the website and enter the promotional code, no discount appears on the order. If I refresh the page and re-enter the code, it tells me That code has already been used.
This has happened to me 3 times now, if I recall correctly.
It's not as if this can be blamed on my using a peculiar browser. Last time this happened I was using Edge, with no plugins or funky configuration changes.
Also, it seems like they mix the inventory from different vendors, so it ends up being a crap shoot whether you get the original, or a knock-off, and the reviews reflect that.
I've noticed this so many times. I've stopped buying any sort of health products like supplements or even electric toothbrush heads from Amazon. It scares me seeing reviews about fake products in stuff like that
Avoiding cookies in iframes is important because browsers are getting more restrictive, so security for iframes is difficult to manage. We passed a unique session token to the iframes from the owning page using postMessage(), and the two servers (we controlled both) communicated directly for authentication (avoid putting authentication into the browser since your enemy controls it completely).
I have always found trying to use iframes as a visible section of your UI is really crappy. Troubles with keyboard focus, resizing, modal dialogs, scrolling, Mobile Safari quirks, detecting loading or other failures, yada yada yada.
After pursuing methods of getting user consent to use 3rd party cookies via the storage API, the end result was the user jumping through hoops by repeatedly clicking buttons to invoke user interaction in different contexts to eventually get a prompt to allow cookies. It did work, but there were strange bugs with it on mobile Safari... e.g., the prompt to allow cookies never appeared after clicking the button but after putting Safari in the background and going back to it, it did appear.
The UX of all this was pretty undesirable so we just gave up and had the tool open in a full window and wondered why we didn't think to do that from the beginning.
