Honestly, this is how we’re going overall it seems. They’ll just throw it into a government funding bill and then be like “don’t you want to pay the air traffic controllers?”

I was waiting for “I use Arch, BTW.”

Honestly, it doesn’t really matter WHO is doing the hacking. A bad actor took over a large number of routers to do their bidding.

“Pork chop sandwiches?!”

I thought LoL was one of the games that require windows for kernel level anticheat?

Amazon 3 yrs ago: Why are you buying 20k 16GB and 32GB DDR5 sticks?

Oh, no reason…

Honestly, nah. The screen is awesome, don’t get me wrong, but the fact that I had to replace the main board after 1.5yrs, just out of warranty, means I definitely recommend people don’t buy it. Luckily I found someone on eBay that dropped theirs, shattered the screen, and sold the internal boards for $50 shipped.

I only brought it up because it fits the requirements and I recommend the format. 4k 43"+ or 8k is goated on desktop.

I’ve got a 43" Aorus 4k gaming screen for my desktop. 144Hz, freesync, 2 HDMI’s a DisplayPort and a USBC. There is a 48" OLED as well, but I didn’t have the space for it at the time.

After using a 4k 43" for a monitor for a few years, I definitely both recommend it AND wish companies would make 8k ones.

Well, I might not want a TV… all I really want is a 60"+ high quality, high refresh rate, 4k+ panel to game, work and watch media on…

On wait; thats literally an HDTV minus the tuner.

The only thing that makes it a TV IS the tuner… and honestly it’s not bad to have in an emergency or for local OTA stuff anyway. If I never use it then having it doesn’t matter.

Wait, “young people” still use Snapchat? I haven’t heard that name in quite a while and I’ve got a teenager.

Cheaper and easier to upgrade the constellation to newer and faster tech. If you have backwards compatibility, you just start launching v2 and v1 will eventually just burn up, and hopefully finish just in time for v3 to start launching so you only have to be compatible with n-1 versions.

Yeah, it’s all so ambiguous. I switched to them because they were better made and cheaper than the Netgear I was forced to replace after 1.5yrs. It’ll be interesting to see where this ends up. Probably lawsuits. Glad I’m already set for a while, I guess.

Ubiquiti is an American company, not sure if the tech is really MADE here though, seems like that’d be weird considering the components are all made outside the US anyway.

Thats not quite right. Sure Cali sets the emissions standards in the US for cars because they are the strictest, but it’s not because cali is big. Manufacturers don’t want to have to build and track multiple versions of vehicles for different states. Thats a huge pain. So they pick the strictest one and go with it because then it works everywhere.

Similarly they added day time running lights for all their North American cars because Canada wanted it. There was no law against it, so they again made one version of the car for the entire NA market and don’t have to care where the car ends up.

In this case, if some other state decides to enact more stringent regulations about age verification, they will meet that one, no matter the size, because it will mean they only have to follow one standard for the whole area. Dealing with a specific state’s laws over another is a pain so if one standard can take care of all of them it saves lots of time and money to just support the most restrictive one.

Sure, I would love to work from home. Please convince my and everyone else’s employers of that.

But the driving slower thing… people will do a quick calculation: take 5 min longer and save 10 cents in gas? Nah, time is money!

The kind of people that fall for this probably has a good overlap with those sick of the “upgrade!!!” Windows Popups.

Grok will end up with the contract. Even with their back and forth relationship, there’s no way Elon doesn’t love this outcome and capitalize on it.

You forgot Pedo and Felon… not that anyone cares. Honestly at this point he could sign his emails with that list and people would still vote him in and back him.

That first part is likely a large selling point.

Oh man, when they get native mobile apps, I’m looking to switch my Mattermost server to Fluxer. I’ve had good luck with Mattermost, but its not truly OSS and its been moving features over to paid enterprise accounts so the time is soon.
