  • I wonder what the "fuck that hurt" rate is for these fishes

  • US Democracy

    Jump

  • Trump has threatened to end democracy in the US. So yesterday may end up being the last time anyone in the US gets to vote.

    I wouldn't call that a win for democracy.

  • Smart TVs are like “a digital Trojan Horse” in people’s homes | 48-page report urges FTC, FCC to investigate connected TV industry data harvesting.

    Jump

  • Unfortunately it's very hard to buy a decent dumb TV these days.

  • Meema said F everybody else!

    Jump

  • I didn't realise it was just this one grandma that did all that.

  • "Weak men create hard times"

    Jump

  • Same as it ever was.

  • "Weak men create hard times"

    Jump

  • Boomers and Gen X did exactly the same thing that you're doing. Nothing. They just let the super rich elite screw the whole world up and now you're doing the same thing they did. Nothing.

    If you want to act high and mighty you're not going to change the world by complaining on the internet. You have to stop the super rich.

  • Reuters- Putin says West will be fighting directly with Russia if it lets Kyiv use long-range missiles

    Jump

  • Didn't he already repeatedly claim that he's fighting directly with the West?

    Even in his own words what would this change?

  • If only there was a way to get all of those people there and back home without a car.

    Jump

  • I agree 100%. Public transport is the only sensible approach to getting people to stadiums. If it were my choice I wouldn't provide parking at the venue at all.

  • If only there was a way to get all of those people there and back home without a car.

    Jump

  • Parking garages costs a lot more than surface parking. And the amount of traffic which can leave is limited by the surrounding roads, not by the exits.

    Edit: I'm not saying this is a good thing. I'm saying it's the reasoning of the people who build stadiums.

  • Most US voters say plastics industry should be held responsible for recycling claims – report

    Jump

  • Recycled plastic is also inferior quality with worse structural properties so it's not really suitable for many applications.

  • Bluetooth 6.0 adds centimeter-level accuracy for device tracking — upgraded version also improves device pairing

    Jump

  • That's absolutely not true. Bluetooth has many "profiles" which define different capabilities. Here's a list of them. These are all defined in the official bluetooth standards.

    Maybe you were thinking of the "core specification" which defines the underlying protocol but doesn't define the profiles? But that's just the way they broke up the spec documents. The profiles are still official parts of bluetooth.

    Apple's proprietary extensions for audio are not part of any official specification though.

  • Costs Less? When That Happened?

    Jump

  • A lot of larger companies like Compaq etc. were making "respectable" PCs by then and selling them in big quantities in direct competition to IBM.

  • "oh? is my acting like a complete asshole offending you?"

    Jump

  • If a comment is funny to the person giving it and offensive to the target it's not a joke, it's just bigotry.

  • We have been played for fools

    Jump

  • C++ can do a lot of things but one thing it can't do is perform as poorly as python.

  • Costs Less? When That Happened?

    Jump

  • There's a reason why no-one bought IBM PS/2s. They were horrible value for money.

    The real competition at the time was the thousands of other brands selling PCs. By that time IBM was plummeting in sales and other companies were selling most of the PCs. That's where 95% of the market was.

  • Costs Less? When That Happened?

    Jump

  • Samsung offers a lot more models so they tend to have a higher high end and a lower low end than Apple.

  • Putin seizes $100m from Google to fund Russia’s war machine (in 2020)

    Jump

  • They took them in 2020 while they were pulling out of Russia, not recently.

  • Putin seizes $100m from Google to fund Russia’s war machine (in 2020)

    Jump

  • To be fair, the seizure happened back in 2020 when companies were still in the process of removing themselves from Russia. And it happened in retaliation for google complying with international sanctions against Russia.

    They're important details. And you would have seen them in the article if you'd read it.

  • TIL that in January 2014, a seven-year-old girl named Charlotte Benjamin wrote a letter to Lego, pointing out the lack of female characters compared to male ones.

    Jump

  • You just know a lot of those "Research Institute" sets ended up on scientists' desks at research institutes.
