What I hate are systems like Amazon Smile, where you have to opt-in to the program, use a specific URL, and sometimes jump through more hoops (you can’t turn off notifications on your phone’s Amazon app if you want your app purchases to contribute to charitable donations) all to convince the company to donate some…

The problem is less that the store keeps the money for itself or for some kind of tax shenanigans and more that it uses it as a kind of marketing. Companies love claiming “we support the local community,” getting the CEO’s picture in the news holding a giant novelty check, and funding those campaigns with checkout…

That drives me absolutely fucking insane on my Series 3 as well. Most of the minor updates install without a problem, but anything with any substance gives you the bullshit “you don’t have enough space on your device” to run the update. Even if you have absolutely nothing on your device but the default items, you…

I’d like to hear that from one of the accounting firms that does their taxes instead of a 3rd party talking about how it ‘should’ be. 

I would like to take this opportunity, again, to thank Apple for sending out frequent security updates, as well as making it completely impossible to update my Apple Series 3 watch without starting from scratch and resetting the entire thing.

I haven’t seen the tweet, but this:

Adding: Death Sentence also fired the scientist behind a very good, accurate Covid 19 platform, where authorities were keeping track of cases and deaths. And since then the data has been unreliable at best, with Florida’s number of infections and deaths now being constantly questionable. But his admin and sycophants…

BREAKING: The CEO of a large company is vaguely optimistic about the chances of receiving a contract from the federal government.

In a more sane world, everyone would just use the NCAA’s testosterone policy, and then be open to monitoring outcomes over the course of years or even decades as we continue to accrue more observations of trans athletes. This is a topic where I don’t really care about people’s opinions right now. I think the…

Generally the difference is not comparable to SD vs HD visuals once you get out of garbage tier bitrates. If you didnt really know about this before you are likely not the target market for this.

If you’re streaming Spotify to you AirPods, no point in getting it. Your sound system needs to be able to play quality.

“In 29 of the 33 patients studied, evidence of previous or current Bartonella infection was found, with tests finding antibodies to the bacteria or direct traces of the bacteria in their system. Twenty-four of these patients also had skin lesions linked to Bartonella infection that developed at around the same time…

The GUI was somehow both not bad and terrible at the same time.  If you needed a recently used app?  Its right there.  If you need literally anything else, its a FAR too laborious process.  Getting to settings for instance to connect bluetooth devices.  Pain in the ass.

The update, which will be available on the third-generation Fire TV Stick and Fire TV Stick Lite

Username checks out.

“What is there to cure when the survivability rate for anyone infected with covid is over 99%.”

“It’s not a politically progressive game: these identities are all in service of the game’s vision of the cyberpunk future, one that can feel implausible and alienating but also has hints of the world we live in today.”

Every single car does this automatically. It’s how defroster settings work.

This whole sordid episode is yet another demonstration that the right now lives in a reality-free bubble of its own construction. All allegations that support their positions are to be accepted without any forensic analysis whatsoever, no matter how facially preposterous they are; all explanations that debunk these…

Now I’m confused. The election tampering I’d like to report involves closing down and impairing the function of the United States Postal Service shortly before the election, as well as a widespread misinformation campaign about the integrity of the Post Office and voting by mail.
