The Fed has massively increased interest rates in the past year or so to fend off a recession. That's in part what led to the recent bank failures, because the banks made stupid investments hinging on low interest rates. As a whole, it's been working wonders for the economy. Things have been stabilizing and fears of a recession have lowered.

In short, yes, 4.15% is on the good side, but it's also pretty common in the US right now. Some savings accounts have 5%+ last time I checked, though those are harder to come by and often have stupid rules attached.

I don't disagree, but it's an important distinction to make that Apple is not the bank in this scenario. Goldman Sachs is the bank. Apple is basically just whitelabeling in the same way every store nowadays wants you to get their credit card. Macy's giving you a credit card with their name on it does not make them a bank. Same goes for Apple.

Yes, hence the unusual spike in this case

Normally pre-loading helps to even the load. For automatic updates, Steam strategically distributes them to even the load.

$20 to remove ads. $99 for ultra (includes ad removal and extra features, many of which require servers).

How can a password lead to code injection? Especially once hashed? I find it hard to believe this is a common bug.

Better yet: start getting your coffee from a local shop and stop going to Starbucks at all! The trick is finding a local shop with real specialty drinks, not just a variety of syrup flavors.

$30 CAD is only $3.30 CAD ($2.47 USD) more than the $20 USD price.

Quotes make it only return results that contain exactly what's in the quotes. All you need to do is put a string in your website that is unique to all indexed pages. Since there's no length limit (well, google searches have a max length, but it's pretty long), I expect that the vast majority of web pages will have some phrase you can use like this.

In theory, you could just search for the entire contents of a page in quotes and it'll be the only thing that pops up unless another page is identical or contains an identical copy of the first page within it.

Why are they reimagining anything? Hasn't BattleBit proven that what Battlefield really needs is to go back to its roots? Just make Bad Company 3!

@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they're salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they're trying to "fuck your entire site up" but I imagine it's a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they're creating, LMAO.
