Exactly. If I want a light, skinny, thin, underpowered device, I’ll grab a damn tablet. I hate how thin is considered a good thing for laptops nowadays. No, it isn’t a good thing. They’re so flimsy I feel like I’ll accidentally snap it in half if sneeze in its general direction. On top of being limited in specs,…

If it looks stupid, but it works, it ain’t stupid.
Oh, how cute, you can pay Apple to regain functionality Apple took from their new models, via an adapter that is almost certainly easier to dislodge from motion (such as, say, being in a pocket) than a 3.5mm jack.

Legal isn’t always right.
Could you try reading two-year-old posts before replying to them?
People didn’t lead themselves to believe it. I linked, right there on Facebook’s own page, where they explain what the trending list is, clearly giving a reasonable person the impression that the list is made up of links which are popular, not links which are carefully curated by an agenda-driven group of people.
So you are pretending you cannot possibly understand how people might feel misled when you tell them that these links are trending, when they are in fact secretly injected into the feed despite not matching its criteria. Because they didn’t specify 100% of the links were recently popular, just that the links were…
Facebook claims that the trending section is for links that “have recently become popular on Facebook.”
Well, yes, they were always intended as a temporary storage, built on the promise that we would ultimately build a permanent disposal repository. However, “built to hold it temporarily” is not the same as “never built to hold it.”
Because sometimes rockets explode.
It was. Quite obviously, it was. This article is just an idiotic scare piece, like more and more Gizmodo articles these days.
The fact that the movie isn’t that far removed from our own reality is exactly why it’s such an enduring cult hit. It really just turns a lot of modern vices up to eleven and shows what happens.
You seem pleasant.
Did you see Kylo Ren in The Force Awakens?
It’s not the end of the world, but it is a precedent. How long until you can’t turn “helpful tips” off?
That’s one of those cartoons I’m thoroughly convinced could not be aired if it premiered in 2016.
I re-watched Dexter’s Lab last year. It’s amazing just how much of the show I quite simply did not “get” in 1996.
While it’s not a kid show, I’d say South Park is an exception to this. Every episode except for the first episode is made entirely with CGI; and if anything it’s gotten far more absurd and surrealistic with age. Going back and watching the first few seasons they’re very crude, cheap, toilet humor and shock value.…
I think commercialism is only part of it. I also think large companies in general have become far more risk-averse. Used to be if a cartoon had an offensive joke in it some parents might wring their hands and shake their heads or maybe tell their children not to watch it (which inevitably made it more attractive to…
Nah, it isn’t just you. I’m old enough to remember some 80s cartoons too. The 90s ones - mostly the wave of new animation inspired by hits like Ren & Stimpy that were more experimental and risky - are significantly better.
