We don’t demand thinner devices. We demand devices that work as we expect them, that can be upgraded and maintained beyond their planned obselescence, that can be repaired without visiting the mothership.

Nobody asked for an iMac that was thinner in the only dimension you DON’T look at it from (the side) which made…

I just want to buy the turbo gubbins from a 6 or a CX9 and put them in my 3. Is that so much to ask?

I’ve lost 130lbs on keto. I wouldn’t say it’s bollocks.

How are you eating anything that would go on a pie while on keto?

I never understood what the benefit exactly was of a non-chronological timeline in any “feed” based social media system. Nobody who is an actual human likes them. It’s not an ad thing, therefore not a money thing. They say it’s so you don’t miss things that your friends post that might be interesting to you... but if…

This is the first time I’ve ever seen or even heard of such a thing, the keycard to use the lights thing. Is it a Not-US thing?

Anyway, seems that they set it up that way so you don’t leave the lights on, wasting energy, when you’re not in the room.

Imagine if this was the Wienermobile. Like, a guy buys a vintage Wienermobile at auction and then films his journey restoring it. Or if it were a first-gen batmobile or some other recognizable car.
He’s not planning on delivering pizzas in it, it seems to me that he’s restoring it because it’s a unique vehicle.
Imagine…

Could, yes. But the music would have to be recorded that way from the start.
Most concerts these days are experienced entirely in stereo. There aren’t any more amps that actually make the noise that fills the room, and the drums are mic’d and amplified, etc. The listener doesn’t get to hear any kind of soundstage at a…

I never understood head-tracking tech for gaming on a monitor, especially one that doesn’t fill your full field of view. Like, what else are you going to look at? When you turn your head there’s no more monitor there. The effect would be very subtle, and IMO not really worth it.

It’s like if someone said “I want a Caterham, but I want it to look like a Frogeye Sprite.”

Really? Most of those speed cams have Canon 5D’s inside. I’d keep the whole thing.

“they” in this case being the municipality who installs the cameras, not the cameras themselves. Like, the city installs the speed cameras and then the city shortens the yellow light duration to cash in on the yellow-light-runners.

Ever since High Sierra I’ve been dealing with an issue where I get a Kernel Panic and Boot Loop after every software update. I finally dug around in the report it generated (which took booting into safe mode) and found the kext that was bugged, but man that had me triggered for a while. I would see that little…

Hey, why isn’t anyone buying our bikes?

-Um, maybe it’s because you steadfastly refuse to make bikes anyone wants? Or it could be that people want your bikes, but can’t afford to pay $20k+ for $7k worth of bike?

um, that in this case the crypto jacking is coming DURING the ads? So you get to watch an ad AND have your GPU jacked?

“The plateauing number of deaths [...] this growing public health problem”

Umm... no. Words have Meanings. Either the death count is stagnant, or it’s growing. It’s not doing both.

Those and Volk TE37s are the quintessential “Looks purposeful and great on any car” wheels.

um, because the amount coming out of my check won’t go down commensurate with the benefit reduction.

In other words, part of the money I pay each month that specifically goes to Social Security as a line-item on the pay stub will now instead go towards paying for a tax gift I got only the slightest ephemeral benefit…

By far my biggest problem with Pinterest is this:

This is the US version of Marty’s Mira. It’ll clean up nice. Sell the plow, put the decals in the garage for irony’s sake. NP all day.
