I don’t understand the mindset of people who buy these things in the first place. Occasionally there’s an article like, “guy’s entire house suddenly inoperable after Amazon ban,” people just don’t think that will happen to them? It is local control on a standardized protocol or nothing for me.

I have plenty of capacity to hate both.

Do you hear anything about how those people pay for the VPN, or does that not come up?

Oh, thank you. Damn, you hate to see it.

Christians are remarkably inconsistent about what is natural and good or unnatural and bad.

I want to see the jail time when they knowingly commit fraud which harms people more than the cost of the product. I’d like to see jail time for wage theft, too.

Good start but still not enough.

I watched this review to check him out after writing that. I think he’s pretty great. YouTube is fucking awful, I’ll have to catch him somewhere else.

I love the dumb little form factors those guys do. The only thing stopping me is that I know it is overhyped bullshit which I will be bored of in a week. If it were easy to develop my own software to completely replace what’s on it I might be convinced.

This is the second time I’ve read about this specific reviewer having a sane perspective on way overhyped gadgets. Sounds worth checking out. I’m used to videos being completely worthless because they are usually trying to get product affiliate money and YouTube ad revenue at the same time.

Pay for the car and subscribe to the batteries sounds like a CEO’s wet dream.

You don’t want to subscribe to the heated seats you already paid for? Looking forward to the near future where they replace the ignition with a card reader so you can do micropayments based on how long you use your own vehicle.

Tesla valuation is beyond comprehension, I don’t want to touch it.

They make sense as a 2FA. It would be really cool if I could require either PIN+fingerprint or a long recovery password.

I like how you realized you had to hedge at the end to not look like a ridiculous hypocrite. “What I’m doing here is totally different because my audience is smaller.” You can just delete the comment if you find yourself backed into a corner like that. It’s sunk cost fallacy to go ahead with posting it.

Perhaps it was the English teachers who were wrong.

Correct or not, people have been using it like that for a while.

So? Creating videos isn’t free, but few creators are receiving money worth the time they put in.

They also have a cycle-of-rage algorithm leading children from video game content into far-right radicalization.

These shitheads have received massive government handouts to build infrastructure, which they simply pocketed. Nobody’s face has been eaten in the slightest. To this day they are still maliciously suing to prevent municipal internets from providing real competition.

“To make my computer do as I wish I simply need to lie about my country of residence. I am very technically adept.”

TBF I do find that confusing. I’m used to human-readable conf files that persist across updates. But I can see how non-technical users might think understanding a collection of tricks is knowledge of their OS.

I wish our indolent government would do its job breaking this shit up.
