The answer to your direct question, I don't know.
But the issue you're having seems more a browser thing to me. It's the browser that warns you if you try to leave a page with an uncompleted form or text box.
The headline seems to imply something wrong is happening.
The options they got when hired finally matured, now they can sell them. With the share price cratering for things they can't control (Musk being a dick) who wouldn't just cash out? It's the only thing worth doing in that situation.
Why couldn't he simply say: "Yah we made a mistake. After 2 years people still call it HBO or HBO Max. It's our strongest, most popular brand of content. So we're giving the people what they want, and going back."
He's in a different room than we are.
For informal spontaneous moments I use a recorder app on my phone.
For real lectures, I do have a real voice recorder like this. If I'm up front it would just be on my desk/table. If not I put it someplace up front; End of the white board tray, or someplace out of the way while being as close to the speaker as possible.
Exactly the same problem.
Either I take notes quickly and can't read them later, or I take my time and miss at least half of what's going on.
I record important things on my phone, or use a real voice recorder in a classroom lecture setting.
I haven't seen it just flat out break the browser like that. I have had bugs and issues with the extension in the past, which is why I switched to the Windows app. My first guess would be un-installing and re-installing the extension.
If that doesn't work, the app does have "Inverse" split tunneling, where only the listed apps and IPs go through the VPN, nothing else will. It'll have the same effect as the extension.
Won't load a specific page, or any page at all?
Of course if one truly can't afford it, paying for search can seem a luxury.
However I would argue as a counterpoint; If there's any online service one would consider paying for, it should be search. Search is most literally our "front page to the internet". It's our first stop in any quest for information. Even the founders of Google knew early on, that putting adds in search creates a perverse incentive against the best results, favoring instead worse results, so people perform more searches, creating more opportunities to show people adds.
$5 a month isn't much to know your query will give the results you want, instead of the results advertisers want.
I'd be quite surprised if this turns out to be crap. It'll be fun at least
I am too excited for this.
Still sounds more like a browser problem.
Have you tried different browsers?
Which browser are you using?
