Trump runs on "shaking the status quo" though, just not in a way we would support.

Which one gets more views? Trump gets supporters and angry opponents watching, Bernie barely gets supporters watching. Their job is to sell ads and therefore need viewers.

I have a love/hate relationship with phone touch screens. On the one hand it enables us to have controls that would be impossible on a phone, like selecting a point on a map, infinite variety of button controls, etc. On the other hand I can't tell you how many times I've barely brushed the screen by accident and the damn thing is off doing something I didn't want. "NO! DON'T SHUT OFF THE APP YOU....sigh"

SocialMediaRefugee , 4 months ago to Technology in European crash tester says carmakers must bring back physical controls

The first time I tried using android auto in a rental car I hated it. The damn thing would disconnect constantly and there was no safe way to restart or reconnect it while driving, I had to pull over somewhere. The car's screen controlled things like the radio and AC so I had to constantly take my eyes off of the road to adjust anything.

I always price compare regardless of the search results. Mindlessly clicking isn't a good idea.

SocialMediaRefugee , 4 months ago to Technology in Amazon hides cheaper items with faster delivery, lawsuit alleges

People have to do due diligence to check that they are getting the best value. I don't assume what is presented to me is automatically the best. This suit seems like they expect the seller to promote the best deal without them doing any price comparisons which is ridiculous.

SocialMediaRefugee , 5 months ago to Technology in Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power — government now requiring commercial miners to report energy consumption

They don't produce anything except some numbers. A total waste of energy. I had to laugh when this guy I know who is very "progressive" and environmentally concerned got pissy when I pointed out how much energy was wasted on bitcoin mining just because he was into it.
