I bought a cellular GPS tracker for my PODS. It worked fine, and being able to track it every step of the way added a bit of stress relief. It also came in really handy when the driver claimed his truck broke down and he wouldn't be ab

They stop driving in places with stiff penalties for driving without a license. I used to live in a state that made driving with suspended or revoked license punishable by up to 3 months in jail. Repeat offenders would have their vehicle ta

I've kept a sleep schedule for at least since high school. Always in bed with enough landing space at the end in case my body needed 7 hours instead of usual 6. My body has long since gotten used to feeling sleep time arrive, and start

Not CS, but I got a STEM degree from a top university. You read all the books to pass the course, and if you wanted an A, you also read the material on the suggested reading lists.

Small homes just plain suck. No room to do anything, stuffy, cramped. GF and I moved, rented a house for a month. 1400 square feet. 700 up, 700 down. Tiny and cramped, and it only had one very small bathroom. We had to sleep on different fl

I had a 2021 model. It was pretty poor in all aspects. Slow, laggy on the desktop just clicking around. Loud when doing anything resembling work. Very poor audio. Bad keyboard. 4 hour battery. I switched to a new M1 MacBook Air and it was l

No surprise. I called failure the moment they announced the price and features, as did most other people. Stupid price tag, did absolutely nothing new, and they didn't learn from the mistakes and downsides of all the other VR headsets,

I can't read it because he made the website unreadable. Kind of interesting considering his subject matter.

In the US, portion size, calorie density, frequency of eating high calorie foods are contributing to people getting a lot fatter a lot faster than before. We now have instant gratification in food delivery services. Get anything you want wi

Wrong. Biden welched on the deal Trump made. The same day he did that, Taliban began attacking. The fustercluck withdraw from then on was all Biden's fuck up. All Biden had to do was honor the previous terms and use the previous plans,

I usually get 6 hours dead on. Rarely 7 or more. I'm asleep less than a minute after going to bed, and have such a regular sleep duration that I never have to set an alarm. In fact, I haven't used an alarm clock at all in 20+ year

Scary would be right. Reminds me of the F-22 Raptor crossing the International Dateline error in 2007. They were flying a squadron of them from Hawaii to Japan. They crossed the IDL and all nav/fuel systems went down, as well as some c

Most of them. Either as new units or returns. I'm surprised they didn't stop production months after release as it was very clear the product would be a complete failure based upon price alone.

Half of these striking workers make $250k a year or more. They want a 77% increase over 6 years on top of that. They also want a ban on automation, which simply means they will have a perpetual lock on being able to hold our economy hostage

These are gone from many markets due to the race to the bottom. They cut the quality out of clothes so they could make more per item without paying attention to the simple fact that quality is what brought people into the store. At the end,

We are at the point in time when you could fire every UI designer on the planet and would be doing humanity a favor. They all have the approach that change for the sake of change is a good thing. It isn't.

I hope this will be as pleasant and performant as Teams aka how to make your 16-core CPU feel like it is an Intel Atom from 2009.

I recently bought my little ma a new big ipad. Her first response to it was "holy cats, this is fast!" She used an A14 Bionic equipped ipad. She is in her 80's.

I tried Adobe's beta of Photoshop with AI. Pretty useless, as it would refuse to process edits because of adult content. These pictures were of house interiors, some cars. Nothing pornographic, but the flunk rate was high enough for me

It already is an ad platform. They want to turn it into the surveillance platform of choice for governments, businesses and law enforcement alike. Windows is already a privacy farce. The OS and 3rd party drivers capture a large chunk of wha

I hope adoption of Linux accelerates. Windows has become incredibly anti-user. I built a new PC recently. No internet because the latest version of the Windows 11 installer didn't have a realtek Wifi driver on it. This driver was prese

The whole thing speaks to complete mismanagement on every level. That they still haven't made any kind of decision 3 months in is absolutely laughable. Now they are saying the astronauts could be up there until MARCH. They miscalculate

The only way to fix things is to drag the occupants of the c-suite into civil court and start dropping massive fines on their heads. Do that, and this type of behavior would vanish within days.

Nope. They get passed on to the consumer, anyway. The only way to stop this type of behavior is to throw execs in jail and take their personal assets off them.

Restaurant food in general is in a bad place. McDonald's reduced the discount for app ordering by 10%. From 30% to 20%. The last meal we got took them 12 minutes. One double burger, one McChicken, one medium fries. There were 0 other c

Yes. I've had a new install compromised immediately after first boot. This was over a poorly configured cable internet service. I could also see and connect to other computers in the neighborhood and had full access to shared resources
