I think people tend to overemphasize launcher features.  For myself and so many other PC gamers, a launcher is just what vickwildcatshelter said: Another icon on our desktop. With Steam, GoG, Origin, Battle.net, and Epic, I use all of them to launch whatever game I want to play, and that’s it.  Personally I wish…

It is hilariously ironic, but China is very protectionist about their home market. Quality control is just a convenient excuse to bully foreign companies.  It’s just doubly ironic because Tesla does actually have quality problems.

Boomers figure they’ll be dead by the time the environment really goes to shit so they don’t care.

Let’s ditch the infotainment systems and keep the data cable.  Got it.

Amazon didn’t pass on tips that were meant for their drivers. That’s stealing.

In one of my rare posts without jokes, I just want to take a moment to say I’m happy Pete Buttigieg is actually looking at infrastructure in a reasonable way. (Preface: Strong Towns is a great book, and it’s also now a podcast series about urban planning, roads, development, etc. There are also some excellent Google…

You forgot the proprietary adapter to connect the cable to the socket!

I, for one, am looking forward to what the proprietary charger and cable will cost and seeing how you have to dig three menus deep just to beep the horn.

I’ve started having COVID nightmares too. They seem to have finally replaced the “I didn’t attend this class all semester and now the final’s coming up” dreams.

This is design hubris.

That, and going to a theater right now at any price is a bad idea and might be straight up illegal depending on where you live.

1st. Yes, bring back the Xterra. Make it a plug-in hybrid while you are at it, Nissan. Offer that powertrain on the Frontier (the new one), the Armada, and their Infiniti twins.

For a lot of these people, we’re witnessing the first time their white-privilege card was denied.  They have no idea how this works.

Which is so funny because every BLM protest I went to, the organizers said, password protect your phone, don’t take pics of anyone, bring cash and memorize the phone number of someone who can bail you out of jail. There's an expectation that you might get arrested if you participate.

Are you the squirrel running the roulette wheel?

These employees were getting unemployment.
