I rewatch Generation Kill every few years, such a fantastic miniseries.

And sometimes I just get the desire to watch part of the Christ killer scene.

Read the story.

I'm not saying she was right, but it's not as comically villainous as it sounds.

She's has a young child with autism, and this kid was bullying him and repeatedly dunking him underwater.

Again, not condoning her actions, just saying there are some mitigating circumstances.

Not OP, but I have heard that some smart TVs do automatically join open networks. Whether it's true or not, I can't say.

But if it is true, I would imagine it would vary between manufacturers and even specific device models.

That laptop is just one gigantic piece of e-waste.

“We assumed the technology was further along than it actually was,” one executive said privately

I wonder how many executives made these types of decisions knowing the technology could not perform as intended, but wanted to boost their quarterly or yearly bonuses, versus how many were just gullible morons.

This is an obscure right-wing backed publication / propaganda dissemination tool...

Yes and no.

The tariffs stoked tension so much so that Canadians have been boycotting American produced alcohol, and bourbons were some of the first products targeted due to their proximity to Mitch McConnell (Kentucky).

Mr. Wonderful is still a piece of shit though.

Just some random guy who had registered firearms and allegedly made anti-semitic comments online.

To fair, they pulled it before it was released.

This extra sloppy response is a result of someone internally leaking it.

It would be great if the SEO gods forever associated the names of the superintendent and principal with their public positions of support for child pornographers.

This was a project from Anthropic's red team...

Worth the read though, very entertaining.

Well assuming this is the same linked article:

There's a reason why the phrase lies, damned lies, and statistics has remained relevant for over a century.

No, it's because he got paid off by weed business interests.

I don't know why anyone should trust Waymo's self-reported statistics.

But I also have zero doubt that whatever their actual stats are, Tesla's are significantly worse.

The evidence of this crime will be on someone's Instagram or other social media account.

I only hope that some dedicated sleuths uncover who it was and can get the evidence to an authority with the ability and desire to prosecute.

I have Unbound configured on my pihole, it's been running fine for years.

Their user base is almost exclusively tech savvy people, the same people who are most opposed to AI.

I think this move signals that they believe we have nowhere else to go, and they're daring us to go fuck ourselves, because fuck you, what are you going to do, use Chrome?

Yes, yes I will, well Chromium forks.

In general, I prefer the look and feel of chromium-based browsers, but I use Firefox and Firefox forks for the reasons that I'm sure everyone here is aware of.

If those reasons go away, I'll just switch to Vivaldi as my primary browser. I won't be happy about it, but if Firefox becomes another AI slop project. I might as well go with the browser whose UX I prefer.

They're dabbing on us, and it's kind of funny, in a very dark sort of way.

And I must admit, I'm morbidly curious to see this clown show rollout.

It sounds like this is normal customs interdiction behavior to target smuggling operations, at least according to the article.

At least none of them will die of autism.
