In an ideal situation, but if you find yourself compelled to hand over your phone to law enforcement, odds are that something has gone off the rails and restarting your phone won’t be possible in hand cuffs.

Am I having a stroke? What in the holy hell is this article?

Same here. Reddit for me has become the last refuge of the internet that is still useable (for now). Google searches and web pages are terrible for the reasons listed in the article. YouTube is all people wanting to monetize and also gaming the system right after a word from our friends at Dollar Shave Club. And…

Yeah, I definitely feel the same, I hate driving anymore. I never used to, I feel like a switch went off in the last few years that made people even more aggressive and entitled. I used to have a 45 minute drive to work for a few years and it was largely uneventful and boring. Now I can’t even make a simple trip for…

Wow that’s weird, I didn’t even notice. There’s another ‘Prepare for Blackout’ article dated today (and it references this article/slideshow) so maybe that linkage updated this article and made it appear as new on the frontpage.

Not just affiliate links, but affiliate links to items that are not practical / efficient in a power outage. An $849 portable projector? Really? And a $1400 power station is a bit overkill for an average power outage (especially when its uses are limited). You’ll probably only need some flashlights and lanterns and…

Yeah, the donkey scenes are horribly disturbing, even moreso when viewing it as an adult, as you realize the whole scope of it (the kids never get saved, they work the rest of their lives in the salt mines, and the villain goes unpunished)

Yeah, the movie didn’t really share any similarities to the book if I remember, other than there being a second island and trailer getting pushed off the cliff. Not unusual for a movie to deviate from the book I guess, but in this case I feel like they just used the idea of second island and created a whole new story,…

‘CNBC reports that this early leave is time off for good behavior...’

CNN+ was introduced initially last summer, with its debut slated for the first quarter of this year, so it’s right on track. You’ll get live CNN, plus on-demand and interactive programming from the network if you decide to subscribe

Ah, Winamp. The endless skins and plugins all paired with a music collection stored on my 2GB laptop hard drive next to Quake 1/2 and Windows 9X. Good times.

Yeah this is unfortunate, as it’s yet another example of a ‘Here’s the end result of something that happened’ story/clip, without sufficient context as to what led up to it. Outrage and anger is what gets views I guess, not a sequence of events that paints a boring picture when viewed as a whole.

I was thinking this too, and I feel like almost all of the articles here are centered around the same core:

Using Apple Pay on my iPhone (even to this day) still gets me looks like I’m from the future.

Seriously, for a technology website, this is an odd take of an article. A lot of those watches were amazing for their time. That Timex DataLink Watch? I remember seeing the commercials for that and it blowing my mind, holding up the watch to a blinking CRT screen to get info into it wirelessly... amazing! And that was…

Sorry, we’ll just have to agree to disagree here. We can split hairs all day over where the boundaries of clickbait begin and end, but that’s not really the point. It’s all too much of a slippery slope, and a worrying trend. Speculative headlines might fly for something like TV plot speculation, movie sequels in the…

It’s not binary. Those are just varying degrees of clickbait. Adding ‘Possibly’ doesn’t absolve it.

as I’m getting older my skill level is dropping for games like this.

Yeah, it was nowhere near 15 minutes. As someone who was waiting and ready to preorder, it was literally seconds. I couldn’t believe it. It’s easier to buy an actual Xbox Series X.
