Just another example of how far Gizmodo has fallen. This reads like someone copy-pasted a press release. If you want to read a real review, check out Ars Technica. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/04/garmin-launches-vivosmart-5-fitness-tracker-4-years-after-predecessor-with-little-new/

Gizmodo of 2009: Here’s how you root an Android Phone for customization.
Gizmodo of 2022: Here’s an app you can pay $2 for customization. It’s “hacking”.

Agreed. I love my Kindle Paperwhite. But $100 is all I’m willing to spend on something that allows me to read when I already have a phone, a laptop, and (solely because my job required one) a tablet/iPad. I love the advancing of the tech, but I’m pretty sure I’ll wait another decade to buy one rather than splurge now.

It’s a shame that LG is getting out of the phone business. I’m loyal to my V20 because I love, love, love the removable battery. I’ve considered trading to a phone with a 5,000 mAh battery (I’d still rather have the removable battery) - which leaves me with either old phone or sub-par ones...

Concerning Tony & Bruce building Ultron - Honestly, laws concerning A.I. are so open right now that I can totally believe people choosing not to prosecute enhanced individuals, especially when they are part of a team that has saved humanity AND could likely defeat most coalitions of human forces AND we might need them…

They aren’t that smart. Also, Vietnam war has baggage that wouldn’t sell internationally. They’ve already introduced time travel and cryogenic “not aging”. They’ll likely use one of those if they even care to address how a man who was experiencing the onset of puberty in 1941-45 is not in his 90s in movies.

What’s that line from the Simpsons? “Short answer - yes with an if. Long answer - no with a but.”

It isn’t so much a concern for what individuals buy, but rather the effects of purchases in aggregate. It’s an interesting indicator about society. From what I can tell, the author is not saying “We shouldn’t buy trucks” or “we should outlaw trucks” or anything else that justifies thinking that said purchase is viewed…

Ezra Miller is overplaying...

Downward spiral of addiction and depression resulting in two cases of him assaulting women he was dating... I know that society tends to not care with guys like Alec Baldwin or Sean Penn (or even Chris Brown) but if a man is proven to have hits his significant other, I stop supporting his work.

Wow. like seriously? He couldn’t just find the Doctor in a car crash on the side of the road (or maybe even cause it through a hilariously botched abduction attempt if they need to be edgy), not be able to save him then decide to take his identity?

Yeah. You nailed it. I was feeling off recently. Because musicals are my woobie, I decided to rewatch “Once More With Feeling” recently and then watched a few more episodes.
It might just be because of who Nicholas Brendon has become, but I can no longer find whimsy or sympathy in the character of Xander anymore.

He’s…

You forgot ugly as sin, which is a strong requirement for kids’ first car. Gotta humble them fast!

I agree. If what mattered most was an vehicle that efficiently moved us from place to place, SMART cars and Honda Elements would be the best selling cars in the world.

Bourne Identity. Percy Jackson and Eragon. The Dark Tower. Any version of The Three Musketeers. 

I mean... I saw the movie in the theaters and the only thing I remember of it was Keanu Reeves flipping the someone the bird... and something about a bath-tub. It was a forgettable film.

That’s not an uncommon tactic. I had a Pontiac dealer try to tell me that in 99, when I was looking at a Firebird. Ended up getting a Camaro Z28 from across the street because they had a manual.

Gosh-bless. Can they stop making such big phones? People are going to start getting RSIs from all the hand stretching across giant screens.
I’m still rocking a 5.7in screen and it’s HUGE. I almost miss sub 5" screens. 

You watch a show discussing a show that you don’t watch....? I find that simultaneously so interesting and so confusing.

I remember loving the lightness of the idea of the Flash from something - maybe Superfriends - as a kid. Then I picked up my first few Wally West books, where he was depowered. Drug use and dependency (Velocity-9?) figured heavily in the stories, and there was even a reference to women trading sex for power/favors.
