In other words, it won’t affect me or most of the people who use uBlock.

They think they can be parted out (maybe), or at least that’s how they pitch it to investors. Never mind the fact that chips get old and depreciate.

What happens is recession for all, not just us.

Microwaves and fuses.

A basic sewing machine & knowing how to sew a seam will save you a lot of clothes. YouTube has this covered. Full lessons from old ladies.

You might as well. If you’re going to trash it anyway, good odds you’re not going to hurt anything by loosening some screws and seeing what’s what.

Spoiler. On fixable things, it’s usually the on/off switch. I think they deliberately make them out of cheap plastic that will eventually break. Plug in oil heaters. Mixers. Lamps with foot switches. Etc.

This makes no sense.

Tanking the life equity of people, some of whom worked their asses off to buy a basic or “fixer” house, is untenable. That’s life savings and retirement, combined, in a single structure, for working class. In addition, it’s security for the kids.

Data centers roll through and trash not just resellability, but prior affordability and quiet enjoyment.

That last part would be like never being able to go home to relax, due to noise, light, and skull level vibration.

In addition to the monthly cost of staying there going up significantly, even as the property value tanks. Can’t even relax in a nice hot shower because the water pressure sucks now. It didn’t when you bought the place, but it does now. Good luck getting your life savings back on that.

I guess having billions isn’t enough. They have to shit all over you where you live too.

These assholes are taking everything from us.

And people are choosing to give billionaires this much water why?

Exactly this. In addition to flexing on the place and station of working class.

Yes, get your pain wracked, emaciated, highly drugged, cancer eaten body out of bed and get to work you lazy animal. Don’t you know your place as working class?

This whole term in the White House feels like the worst Airbnb trashing story and then some.

And, like a UFC event venue, will likely require fire hoses to wash out a good portion of the trash and stank.

For that price they can give it a durable case. It feels like driving around with car bumpers made of glass.

It was integrated into my last two cases. Maybe it’s a Lenovo thing.

System 76 came in a shitty, basic case. Feels almost fragile after Lenovo. And no slider. (I like the computer guts, but for that price the case shouldn’t feel like you could break something by simply lifting it while open.)

Loyal Moses has a vid on these cameras re Ford patenting tech that won’t let you start the car if your mood is deemed incompatible with driving.

Whatever the case re drive ability, 100% your insurance company will have this data.

Does the car stop complaining if you cover it or is it a constant ear assault? Can you start the car if it’s covered? Is there a workaround to disable it?

ETA: what’s weird is that your parents aren’t aware that most people cover laptop cameras. I’m parent aged, and I do. Many laptops come equipped with a slider device to cover it.

It’s not even universal. It looks like a skull and crossbones, and the skull and crossbones isn’t fixed, drawn in one way. Look it up. You’ll get a confusing page of variations all labeled as such.

I have to remind myself that these days, campaigns are conducted on social media. The rabid, obstinate posts might be genuine. They also might be where superPAC money is being spent, on people, whose job it is to post and keep posting more organically than AI can as of yet, until the election ends. (I’m sure we experienced none of that leading to Nov2024).

Yes or no, I really do hope none of us (over 35) is exactly who we were at 20 years old.

Explain gun law, get downvoted. But not by the Wisconsin guy who lives it. Lots of 2A states out there.

I think the kid is a shit, but, technically, the carry part was legal.

I thought that’s what I just said. Granted, I’m only on Lemmy while winding down.

The claim was the firearm was already in Wisconsin, no carrying over state lines necessary. As for the rest, I don’t think that state had any laws on the books re that firearm, wth open carry, iirc. After that it comes down to a court deciding whether or not the shooting was just, which was up to 12 people who were not us.

Remember, every state has different gun laws, some of which have none, only leaning back on 2A as their one regulation.

Regardless of the shooting circumstances, what kind of person do you have to be to allow yourself to be paraded around like this? Says something about his general mentality and implies sordid things about the shooting itself.

He even looks like a bully’s sycophantic follower trying to be cool.

He learned what most people try not to learn in life, that he can kill a man, while LARPing, and this is how he’s dealing with it.

It’s not that simple and I say that as a woman. It’s about ownership of the idea that having kids is a “right” even if no one likes you enough to want to carry your genes forward, putting health and body at risk to make it so. In addition to the lifelong commitment childbearing requires.

The fact that you have to take some degree of ownership of another human being to treat childbirth this way is obscene, but here we are. Roe fell.

It’s more about entitlement. I can’t conceive of doing the same in reverse positions.
