Yeah, good point - security is only as strong as the weakest link, and I could totally see a Senator or Congressman haranguing their IT staff to “just make it stop having to enter my password all the time!”

As long as the drive was encrypted, as I would expect would be the case on any government-issued computer, then this is barely newsworthy (compared to the MAGA riot overall).

I see you haven't been to Tokyo in a while.

Oh, this isn’t Lifehacker? I’ll see myself out.

So the Suburu Telescope is competing with the Hyper-Suprime Cam to search for roving black holes that secretly contain baby universes? Did I just wake up in a manga?

No coverage on FCA shafting a Gladiator owner by voiding their warranty after driving in the mud? https://www.thedrive.com/news/38559/jeep-gladiator-owner-claims-dealer-voided-warranty-after-he-drove-through-mud

I love the Amazon review that points out that all of the knobs are fake other than the 2 buttons at the top. Looks like just a bling-y add-on wheel for a Thrustmaster rig, along with some questionable headphones. As an owner of a base T-300 set... yeah, not gonna waste $200+ on that.

Fortumately, that urbanization trend is not set in stone. Companies like GE, who decimated their former home area in southern CT to move their HQ to S. Boston, made a huge gamble which didn’t pay off for them. Other companies who considered following in their footsteps before Covid are certainly reconsidering. Same for…

Great call on WotH - such an under-appreciated (and largely unknown) gem here in the US. Not sure if it’s my favorite from Miyazaki, but it’s firmly in my top 5.

Yeah, I would, except I kind of already gave it to Fred Johnson.  Sorry 😐

I’m too cheap for either, could only afford the Chinese knockoff implant. Sounds 80% as good for 20% the price, until it randomly fails and fries your brain. I can live with that.

(Deep) purple chemtrails, all in my brain...

The manual trans I get, but I can’t see the appeal for manual locks or windows, unless you just want less electronics that can break. But there are so many electronics in every modern car, that’s was a lost cause for the last 20+ years (around 25 for manual steering & carburation, not sure if there are still options…

Same here, growing up in liberal areas is kind of sheltering I guess. After moving more south, I was in a situation where a big older white dude was mouthing off to the guy behind the counter at a store (who was black). Not as bad as the video, but the guy behind the counter was professional and took it because he was…

Maybe, but that could also backfire. If those were his friends behind him (not sure they were), then continuing to pummel him could bring them into the fight. And set you up for charges, which I doubt would happen here (as Allen showed some serious restraint, IMO). And an instant KO is easier said than done, unless…

As a non-racist white guy, that’s also my fear when I watch something like this. I mean, don’t get me wrong - that drunk piece of shit earned every inch of that beatdown. But shitheads like that do often carry, and things could have gone badly for Mr. TeaKO in other circumstances.

I also did a double-take on the notion that the victims at Salem were killed for being Wiccans. Thanks for bringing facts into the discussion.

Yeah, in my case I actually sold off most of my CDs and DVDs (though the scratched ones were eventually trashed).  Thinking it over, I *think* I sold my CueCat on ebay.  So, maybe you bought it and put it to use :)

You are cleverer than I. I bought one cheap, pretty sure as a Woot! special, intending to use it to catalog my collections of CDs, DVDs, and books. Ended up sitting in a junk drawer for years and is now probably taking space in a landfill, alongside those countless CDs, DVDs, and their plastic cases. Ugh...

Holding out hope for a cut scene where Steve has to use the relief tube over the Atlantic.  Guess Diana just had to cross her legs and wait it out.
