If you can get a friend to switch to Edge via a referral link, you’ll receive 500 Microsoft Rewards points (with the ability to accumulate up to 7,500 points per month if you’re feeling ambitious).
A $1.25 Microsoft gift card is 1,625 points.
So you have to refer four friends to get $1.25 off your next Microsoft purchase.

as opposed to what? The parking mode? Or is this automatic vs manual?
A lot of more modern vehicles have a bunch of modes you can select. Like “economy,” “sport,” etc.
I think that’s what they mean.
Edited because I forgot the word “vehicles”!

I loved it.

on Sensitive Info Goes Into ‘No Reply’ Emails Constantly. This Guy Sees It All in c/technology@piefed.social · 8 Aug 2026
Companies may send emails to [companyname]@noreply.net or similar variations believing they aren’t going anywhere, or could not be monitored in any way. Broadly it’s also possible that they may transform a person’s individual email address to send to one of these placeholder style domains if someone leaves a company or deletes their account.
Damn. People are genuinely stupid.
They’re lying about their “visitors,” like all of these shitty advertising websites do. Just take a look at one of their websites without a content blocker and you’ll see what I mean. The content doesn’t even display properly. You can’t even read the homepage of science blog dot com because the content overlaps.
Bullshit.
They’re conning people into believing they’re successful, but like many other “successful” web properties, they can just make up their number of visitors.
