You rule. Don't let your brain say otherwise.
  • I worry that this little fellow is telling lies to discredit my irrational fears.

    He probably hates me too.

  • Apple reportedly has plans for a thinner iPhone, MacBook Pro and Apple Watch
  • I feel like we're just going backwards, we stopped caring about tech getting thin enough to act like a blade like a decade ago.

    Why are we doing this again?

  • NSFW
    enjoy this rule
  • This is why disabling downvotes on a site fueled by user content is a bad idea.

  • We should be allowed to do it because "insert dictator here" did it isn't the great argument you think it is
  • Because we live in reality and there's no such thing as a perfect state

  • Amazon’s Prime Air delivery drones can fly even farther after FAA approval
  • The big issue with autonomous cars are the other cars that are driven by humans. As well as pedestrians and general rules of the road that need to be applied.

    In theory drones have problems that are much easier to solve, because there's just less obstacles to deal with.

    The big issues will likely be birds, wind, and rain.

  • [Gamers Nexus] ASUS Already On Government's Radar for Warranty Issues
  • MSI isn't great in my experience for fully built stuff, Lenovo is relatively solid in the higher mid range. HP is also good hardware wise usually, at least it seems like they're trying.

    For components it depends what you need, gigabyte and asrock mobos are good. GPUs go for Sapphire or Zotac depending on your desired chip, or MSI if those aren't available.

  • Delivery Goes Wrong: New Cybertruck Slices Owner's Wrist During Inspection
  • Likely going in for the pedal recall to be completely fair.

    Still wild that they managed to fuck that up by using glue and having the metal traction pad slide onto the pedal instead of latching or being crimped or screwed in.

    They go through the trouble of having a second motor for the steer by wire in case of a failure, but they can't make a pedal apparently.

  • What's up with all the ads here?
  • Bots and lack of mods on different timezones most likely.

    Would probably make sense to have an account age requirement and comment requirement before posting somehow.

  • Apple Patent Hints At Foldable iPhone With Self-healing Screen
  • I think the idea is that the tech will improve. The flaws aren't features, they're problems to work out.

  • Follow me for more budgeting tips
  • Yeah but I have a hot dog and you don't

  • Comcast Unveils Peacock, Netflix, Apple TV+ Streaming Bundle
  • Yeah Telus in Canada has been doing this recently as well. We're just back to cable packages except now you have like 4 different apps to worry about.

  • TikTok sues the US government over ban
  • The difference from the perspective of the US is that it's spyware from a potentially malicious foreign state. China bans US tech companies as well, TikTok took advantage of the US having a much more open market and the state decided that they were acting in bad faith.

  • Harm Reduction Rule
  • I could be wrong but I remember voting and they actually had it split into two questions. The first was whether you wanted to keep the current system, and the second was if no what system would you prefer. Unfortunately people just decided to stick to what they were familiar with even if it's a flawed system.

    EDIT: Double checked and yeah, it was two questions the first of which was whether the system should change or not. 61% of voters opted to keep the existing system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_British_Columbia_electoral_reform_referendum

  • Harm Reduction Rule
  • It's frustrating for sure, I was even more annoyed when we had a referendum in BC and people opted to keep things the same.

  • Game difficulty
  • Or just let the developer decide what they think fits their game best? Not every product is for every person, and that's fine really. Trying to broaden appeal is good, but you don't want to spread resources so thin that you end up with a mess.

  • Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it
  • Pretty sure last time around there were potential buyers. I think Walmart was one of them, and so was Oracle.

    I imagine we'll see the same names pop up again.

  • [MacRumors] Apple Said iPhone Driver's Licenses Would Expand to These 8 U.S. States… Two Years Ago
  • Governments being slow to implement new technology even with the support of private industry? I'm shocked.

  • Firefox saw an increase in users (~50% in Germany and ~30% in France) following Apple’s default browser changes in the EU, as did Brave.
  • I believe part of the DMA means that they're allowed to use their own engines. Whether they have that ready right now I'm not sure, but I'm sure it's in the works.

  • The Influencers Getting Paid to Promote Designer Knockoffs From China
  • Main concern is the lack of regulation on the actual materials being used to make the products.
