Is Kinja or whatever borked right now? This article seems to be missing words and things kind of randomly.

Microsoft sells very little in the way of PCs, so your planned obsolescence theory to make people “buy new machines” makes almost zero sense since those people would be buying computers from other companies 99% of the time. Their Surface line is only about 5% of their total revenues. They are focusing on the TPM

Not to be “that guy”, but BGP isn’t a “web protocol”. It’s a routing protocol used by routing equipment. The web isn’t the Internet, nor is it the networking equipment used to tie it all together. This may sound nitpicky, but honestly you’re trying to explain stuff to a semi tech literate audience here, and these

That was really well said. Thank you.

Why yes it is!

Do you guys have any kind of editing that goes on now? Any editorial review? Or even something basic like a sort of peer review of your work before it’s published and branded? Like, just asking a colleague “hey, could you just read this for me real quick?” Because this many basic, factual errors getting things like

How young/unread/unresearched are these writers that they don’t know White Rabbit? I mean, even if you’re not familiar with early rock and roll masterpieces, it would be, what, two seconds to Google?

I’m just gonna kinda crap on your truck a little here, but it ain’t personal, I promise. It’s just an anti-Chrysler product bent I have that goes a mile deep because of all the ways they’ve left me stranded over the years. My last Ram was a brand new ‘99, (I was the first owner), and within the three year period I had

That’s about as good of a summary as anyone is likely to make. Well done.

Oh my goodness. No, abortion is not birth control, in the sense that birth control is generally assumed to mean the prevention of getting pregnant in the first place, because even the under the best of circumstances, abortion can cause all kinds of problems that you would not expect with contraceptives, condoms, etc.
No

The VAST amount of sex workers out there do not engage in any kind of penetrative sex, or intercourse that could result in pregnancy. “Jen” also does not correlate her sex work with her pregnancy, so we really don’t know. Lot’s we don’t know. That’s why I don’t see any problem with respectful questions.
These demands

These all seem entirely reasonable, as I stated above in a comment that will doubtless never be approved.

She seemed pretty respectful about the whole inquiry. No need to grind on a probable ally like that. I was kind of thinking the same thing, without judgement but more curiosity; I bet we’re not the only ones. As a matter of fact “Jen” may have simply overlooked that detail and in fact wanted to share it. You don’t

I get your point, but 80% of Californian land is not 80% of Californian people. You’re conflating the two by acting like you’re not. Those folks on that 80% of the land are less than 15% of the population, and thus make up a minority. And it’s pretty clear by how this recall election is going that they do not, in

As an owner of a small business, I can virtually 100% guarantee you that the ‘tech’ who did the drive was some sort of family member or close friend of the family of the owner, leaving the owner with few options (such as “we fired that guy”), and the owner wanted to squash this ASAP to avoid any collateral damage such

Go to Amazon. Search for Amazfit. I have the T-Rex, and it’s battery lifetime is completely insane. It actually exceeds their claims of 20+ days by a wide margin. I only charge mine once a month.

So you chose two of the most expensive watches on the market and made them king of the hill. Fine. They probably belong up there. But not looking into the depths of the market for contenders beyond the obvious manufacturers has robbed you of a manufacturer that requires immediate investigation: Amazfit. They make a

Gawd that’s horrifying. Every single time I’m reminded of that, I just recoil thinking about the implications of it.

I completely agree. “Dust” is not going to cause those isolated bubbles. That’s all delamination caused by the constant motion of opening and closing and having that screen protector sliding back and forth across the surface of the screen itself (even at a teeny tiny micro level).

I’m glad someone wrote this. I was thinking the same exact thing. Taking credit for the story when you only wrote the screenplay seems a little bit of a stretch.
