Krugerand are especially important.

If they buy the data, they have plausible deniability about the surveillance and malfeasance involved in how the data was obtained. It's that simple. "How were WE to know where the information was coming from?" will be the excuse when this gets even uglier.

No matter the country, there is a given set of people who will switch sides if they haven't been getting what they want within a certain period of time, or if they get promised a certain something they haven't been getting. In the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte was elected because he promised to...

Sounds like we need a consumer watchdog that can sue at this point. If 2/3 of the people that try to file can't do so for free, that violates "free" in my book. Getting rid of the government free option to file is also ridiculously burdensome IMO. In my mind, that means we ought to be able to...

Considering that Sony and Bose have excellent competitors in the $200-300 price range, I have to agree.

Two words: Soichiro Honda. He was an artist and an engineer. To me, late eighties to late nineties Honda is the epitome of making a reliable, efficient car that still managed to do so without sacrificing handling. With sensible cockpit layouts, many of which despite seeming like small cars on...

I think re-making the Acura RSX from a two-door sports coupe (formerly the Honda/Acura Integra) into an EV SUV was a nonstarter to begin with and tone deaf when it comes to people who have known and loved Honda-Acura as a brand for years. That said, one of Honda's greatest difficulties of the...

Weeelll Sugarjets, I just bought a 9950X3D, my first major AMD CPU since the Athlon 64 X2 days. /s (I mean, yes, I really did, but I'm still not upset that I did)

It's honestly right up there with the people that do the same while driving, despite the fact that Bluetooth in cars has pretty much been a thing since 2016. It's a very simple thing to go hands-free, most cars have it, and yet I see people doing this every day in large, brand-new SUVs, despite...

Excuse me, I heard there was a yeeting going on, may I join?

Based on the pricing and comparison, I would ask in addition “What if you can get the Pixel 9 for less than a new 10a?” I mean, I got a deal, but I got the 9 last summer as a backup phone for $249, no trade-ins, unlocked within 90 days. Better camera, 12GB of RAM, better fingerprint reader...

The level of incompetence is so incredible, it either underscores the ridiculously poor hiring practices under the Trump administration, or (more nefariously) points to the administration literally wanting to shame specific victims through middle-high-school-level bullying tactics. The DoJ...

It's really too bad they don't make an additional board with a DDR4 SODIMM socket on it and sell it as a roll-your-own option, or make an add-on-board that could do the same.

I spent a fair bit more (they're newer), but got a 2019 Honda Clarity Touring PHEV in mint condition. For me, it's the best of all worlds. 90% of the time, I'm on battery (daily commute, minor errands. Charges off a standard outlet, and gets to full overnight. Comfortable. Drives well in...

I don’t like established idiocy,” “Idiocy is what I observe.” You, sir, are an idiot.

This is why I haven't bought a phone from a carrier in a decade. I get much better service and price from an MVNO than I do from a large carrier, and I'd rather pay for the phone up front. While I've had my provider for four years now, I like that I could leave at any time if something changed...

I'm torn. Honestly though, what I'm torn by is the idea that humanity might be dumb enough (or at least a percentage of it) to decide to rely and trust AI for everything if we let it. I mean, after a United States President talked about using bleach to stop COVID, a couple idiots did indeed try...

I honestly think at this point that he has a mental illness that likes the thought of observing the country like his own personal Petri dish. It makes me wonder if he idolized Josef Mengele.

And so the Age of Orwell continues to rise in my country.

I was in the seventies, but I'm concerned enough that I got a booster in the past twelve months. I don't trust anyone any more. If so many people are making stupid statements about "the jab" or vaccines today, for those who are truly outspoken, a part of me thinks if they're so anti-vaccine...
