    Researchers hack electronic shifters with a few hundred dollars of hardware

    I'm sorry to hear about your palsy. I did it to myself during a century. Too much pressure on my hands, especially during long descents. There is no way I would have been able to shift a mechanical groupset. The palsy took months to calm down. With Di2 my hands and fingers don't get tired...

    Bill that could ban TikTok passes in House despite constitutional concerns

    I see that some of the older people here became myopic in their old age. The more you deny something from younger people the more they will want that thing you want to block. Go ahead, fools, attempt to block TikTok. Your attempts will just add fuel to the fire.

    DMA be damned, Apple cuts off path to Epic Games Store, Fortnite on EU iPhones

    Bill that could ban TikTok passes in House despite constitutional concerns

    That’s exactly what I thought. Will the government force ISPs to block traffic from non-US websites? Or force Google to create a way to block installs of certain Apps? This gets more dumb the more the congress critters discuss this.

    DMA be damned, Apple cuts off path to Epic Games Store, Fortnite on EU iPhones

    I think some/many/most people here assume that most iPhone users want the need to install whatever the hell they want. I'm here to tell you that some of us definitely don't care about this. A friend-of-a-friend used to ask me, as a software engineer, why I don't I have an android phone. ROM this...

    You don’t like my post, but not liking it doesn’t make it untrue. Maybe you’ve been applying so much throat here and there that you expect help.
