Eh, I felt the opposite. For me the real draw of the earlier seasons wasn’t the “wacky characters having adventures” aspect but that it was all set in a mundane office with real office problems. HR issues, unionization, after-work parties, uh, “fraternization”, etc. When they got rid of all of the drones it just…
It’d be like naming Netflix “DVDbyMail”
BigVCR is the most 90's name for a website I’ve ever heard!
ISn’t BigVCR the shadow group that killed Betamax?
To be fair, the “Tube” in YouTube was already getting dated 15 years ago :)
BigVCR, I love it.
Little surprise then that hackers found ways to not only breach the cameras but also hijack their speakers—the most egregious known example of which involved some as-yet-uncaught jackass terrorizing an 8-year-old with the Ring device her parents had recently installed in her bedroom.
It started with the revelation (?) that Ring is super happy to share your video with the local popo. And that in order to set up an account to use your new Ring gizmo, you must also agree to sharing your video
I’m always amazed at the hardon gizmodo has for hating ring. Like every single article has mention about being able to “hack” the speakers. And yet the actual hackings were just people who reused their passwords, not anyone actually hacking ring. Do you also put the same language in every single gmail article about…
Me too. Oh wait, 3 of us already did before him but we’re in the greys. Yay Gizmodo.
Welp, here you go. The new owner is starting a Kickstarter to remove the need for a cloud server and opensource it:
But can it pass the butter?
I’ve been reading the articles about Ring (and related competitor) products for a while on giz and other tech sites and I don’t get the impression that gizmodo is saying everyone IS under attack. What they are doing is raising security concerns about a product which imo everyone SHOULD take seriously if they don’t…
“Autoplaying video ads” once again gets Honorable Mention.
Samsung software is still a massive shitshow that gets even worse after the carriers get their hands on the phones. Their contacts & dialer apps are worse than the Google versions, their Internet browser gets some kudos for being good but is redundant, their keyboard and launcher are garbage, their settings are a hot…
I’d honestly throw Jedi: Fallen Order on here; it’s got a more coherent story than the latest Star Wars movie, incredibly satisfying Dark Souls-esque combat (relying on lock-on, dodges, parries, etc.), has the vibe of a Star Wars videogame mixed with Metroid Prime (Prime in that it’s more current-feeling, but it’s…
This is spot on... Nickelodeon made it’s name in the 90s by not being as safe as Disney was. It was the Genesis to Disney’s NES.
The key to being dismissive of Nickelodeon is to think that the programming of Disney+, showcasing Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars, is meant for adults.
Somehow, they need to add a supercharger — then they can call it a Leaf Blower.
No reason to feel sorry for us. I'm awesome. I've met plenty of awesome people. Most of us aren't damaged or fucked up horribly. I do have an odd personality, but I'm damn proud of it.
