It's crazy that Apple is lauded as having amazing designers and engineers, but they can't make easily repairable devices. It's almost like that's the point...

Disney+ has started cracking down on password sharing in the US (www.engadget.com)

Disney+ started getting strict about password sharing in Canada last year, and now it's expanding the restriction to the US. According to The Verge, the streaming service has been sending out emails to its subscribers in the country, notifying them about a change in its terms of service. Its service agreement now states that...

If you have money you'll make money. It's all bullshit. Valuation and stocks and trends... It's all made up nonsense created to make sure the rich remain rich and Walmart employees remain on food stamps. Why we aren't constantly protesting or better yet destroying this system is beyond me. I guess the bulk of you assume one day you'll benefit from this system of suffering so you keep it in place just in case. Fuck.

I'm glad your kids get the comfort and safety this capitalistic nightmare provides, but many kids don't.

Kids Don’t Think Congress Has Their Best Interests In Mind With Their Grandstanding ‘Protect The Children’ Hearing (www.techdirt.com)

Kids Don’t Think Congress Has Their Best Interests In Mind With Their Grandstanding ‘Protect The Children’ Hearing::We’ve covered a few stories this week related to the Senate hearing on “kids safety” and there’s going to be a lot more in the coming weeks as those same Senators grandstand and yell about “protect...

the_q ,

Oh yeah... We got a typical "my way or the highway" parent who thinks their children aren't human beings with their own thoughts and emotions.

the_q ,

Did you ever consider you were a shitty kid and that your experience isn't everyone's?

the_q ,

Thunderbird is a great alternative to Outlook.

the_q ,

Money from nothing. That's one of the biggest reasons our system is so out off balance.

the_q ,

Do you own shares in any company?

the_q ,

She died in 2016. I've never really gotten over it.

the_q ,

Hey it's everyone's least favorite user!

the_q ,

How could someone I don't value have any impact on me?

the_q ,

You just described gambling.

Zuckerberg seeks to place responsibility onto Apple and Google for underage social media use (www.cnn.com)

Zuckerberg seeks to place responsibility onto Apple and Google for underage social media use::Apple and Google, not social media companies, should be responsible for checking users’ ages to ensure they are not underage, Zuckerberg told lawmakers, suggesting it would be “trivial” for Congress to design legislation...

Actually AMD is still releasing new AM4 CPUs now. 5700x3D was just announced.

the_q ,

There's a 5600x3D s well.

the_q ,

Regardless of how you get about Biden, blocking a new user that's clearly a shit-stirrer is the move here.

the_q ,

Apple is such a genuinely shitty company.

the_q ,

Stickers on the deck? -5

the_q ,

No I agree they are, just not on the keyboard deck.

Now that it happened to a billionaire "something needs doing". This society we live in is shit.

the_q ,

Yeah this is why there is so much suffering under capitalism.

the_q ,

Chevy Bolt was under $25k before the $7500 credit. Now the same car is $40k.

Taylor Swift is living every woman’s AI porn nightmare — Deepfake nudes of the pop star are appearing all over social media. We all saw this coming. (www.vice.com)

Taylor Swift is living every woman’s AI porn nightmare — Deepfake nudes of the pop star are appearing all over social media. We all saw this coming.::Deepfake nudes of the pop star are appearing all over social media. We all saw this coming.

the_q ,

Are you stupid? This absolutely hurts those that are being victimized by this.

the_q ,

Is this really that surprising? Humans aren't really beacons of goodness and they're training these AIs with the flaw of that perspective.

the_q ,

I'm sure your are. Everyone thinks they're "good" but there are certainly "bad" people.

the_q ,

Yeah those coders and artists had it coming!

the_q ,

Lol... Just 1 out 2 more kicks to the balls and I'm outta here!

the_q ,

Charging port will be on the bottom and be non standard.

the_q ,

Yeah we said proprietary charger.

Gen Z falls for online scams more than their boomer grandparents do. The generation that grew up with the internet isn’t invulnerable to becoming the victim of online hackers and scammers. (www.vox.com)

Gen Z falls for online scams more than their boomer grandparents do. The generation that grew up with the internet isn’t invulnerable to becoming the victim of online hackers and scammers.::undefined

the_q ,

Gen Z is also less tech savvy even though they've only known devices and screens since they were born so this isn't surprising.

AMD removes Taiwan branding from CPUs, says change wasn't made to appease China | The 'Made in Malaysia' markings will remain, though. (www.tomshardware.com)

AMD removes Taiwan branding from CPUs, says change wasn't made to appease China | The 'Made in Malaysia' markings will remain, though.::AMD will no longer mark its chips as made in Taiwan, a change that many theorize was made at the behest of China.

Oh you think Intel is somehow morally better? You poor fool.

the_q ,

Jensen's gonna buy so many new leather jackets.

the_q ,

If all humans died there wouldn't be anyone getting sick at all from anything!

the_q ,

I too like to champion a trillion dollar company over what's morally right!

the_q ,

Technology used to be more about solving a problem or making something difficult easier. This thing has no real use beyond "neat". But that Apple logo holds some very powerful magic for certain people.

the_q ,

No I have. Creating a product then finding a use is the very definition of cart before horse-ing. Marketing does most of the heavy lifting for getting people excited about crap they don't need, and Apple is the king of marketing.

the_q ,

If you say so.

the_q ,

What's to discuss? We live in a society that you're describing and it's awful for most people. You defeated yourself.

the_q ,

You're wrong though. You're saying the way it isn't can't work while living the way you're describing and it not working. No discussion is needed.

the_q ,

Inequality, poverty, starvation, suffering, war... C'mon, man. These are issues that don't need to exist, but do so in order to keep certain people in power. It's all part of the machine.

You don't need to discuss whether the sky appears blue because we know how sunlight interacts with our atmosphere. The same is true for this issue.
