  • For all the US bitches about piracy costing the industry and jobs, they sure do a fucking terrible job about policing stuff like counterfeits that can be tied to real numbers of economic harm (because people that buy those were actually willing to spend money). eBay is rife with counterfeit media sales and Amazon ain't great either. I've never tried third party sellers from others but I'd bet that Walmart, Bestbuy, and others have a share as well given the ones I see selling "new" items that haven't actually been produced in a decade.

  • Agreed. Multi-pairing is such an underrated feature. It's especially great when it comes with a hardware selector (in case you've got multiple devices paired in range).

    I picked up a Logitech mouse that pairs up to 3 devices and has a button+LED's on the bottom to switch between. It's awesome

  • No, corporate greed is ruining everything with AI.

    Because you know if they built a super-AI that give them perfect instructions on how to build Earth into a paradise, but it would require they give up 1/4 of their wealth, they'd be reaching for the reset button before it finished printing them out...

  • In my case, I suppose it would depend on the type of coffee I'm supposedly drinking. Brewed I get a full cup, but there's already a pre-measured instant/packet variety that makes about a half cup per packet.

  • There have been a few sci-fi shows that covered the concept of a "virtual reality imprisonment" where this convicted are essentially sentenced to be plugged into a system where they live out a sentence that seems fully realistic and in "normal time" - possibly years - to them, but only hours or at least days pass in the real world.

    If we ever get that tech, it would seem to be a good sentence for the truly dangerous drivers and road ragers. Get plugged into the machine, and live a few "virtual" months or years where you believe you've lost your legs, been paralyzed, or killed the family member that's you've been endangering with your idiocy.

  • Not even the f'ing middle lane. If I'm in the left lane, and y'know, actually PASSING vehicles that are in the right then that's where I should be. In many cases it's an uphill and I'm passing a bunch of rigs.

    In most cases I'm admittedly going a bit over the limit (just to pass quickly and minimize the time I'm sitting within a blind spot, especially with the rigs), yet there's always and idiot that's behind me trying to do 20%+ over the limit riding my ass.

    People like the are in a hurry to they're own funeral

  • Yeah, and while the example does have merit, language often evolves. I could say "he seems quite gay" and the meaning is going to slant more towards orientation than mood per the last several decades.

    "Hey you guys" has actually become pretty gender-unspecific in use over time. My daughters call everyone "you guys" , and I pretty much use the same term with them. It's not to indicate they're masculine, but has become a catch-all for "all of you" in modern language.
