   > Are you willing to pay for the true cost of maintaining these devices for ~50 years? Sounds like Nest/Google didn’t think about that when they priced their products. That’s not the consumer’s fault. I’ve been de-Google-ing myself

   As someone who bought 3 of these for $300 a pop I vehemently disagree. This is complete bullshit and anti-consumer behavior that should be illegal.

   Google have the gaul to "offer" their newer devices at a discount - yes I want to pay you again for something I've already paid for...trusting that you don't this again in 10 years. I have 3 of these devices. Fuck you Go

   On the flip side, some companies have gone to extremes. I now have to MFA and provide a pin-code to authenticate. I have to do this several times a day. It's fucking mind-boggling how I can get anything done in a day when I spend so

   I don't know what it was about the writing style, but I couldn't make it through than a few paragraphs before giving up. One thing that LLMs seem reasonably good at is summarizing things. So here's your 200 word summary: Two

   Contrary to popular belief around here, SF is not a model city of perfect living. How about SF solves its homelessness problem?

    Look, if you want to live life like a hermit, that’s on you. As you get older, you will lose people, friends, family, acquaintances, not only through death, but growing apart for “normal” reasons, moving away, job changes, changes in intere

    I’m in my mid-40s. When I randomly reconnect with friends from my 20s, they still ask about my parents and my parents still occasionally ask about them.

    I have no idea what point you’re trying to make here. “It's just tons of sad people.” - this makes you sound like you have the emotional acuity of a 4 year old. You can fix that, but you can’t do it sitting in front of your computer.

    This take is sad. We have become a society of emotionally weak people. My wife and I make our kids do uncomfortable things because that’s what separates children from adults. An example, and not even the hardest one: Yesterday we were vacat

    Someone should attend your funeral because they made some kind of connection with you in this short life. Being uncomfortable for 30 minutes is the least one can do. I am so tired of people being so emotionally immature that they can’t hand

    It is not ok. Be an adult and deal with the emotional discomfort to pay your last respects.

    Look, it's ok - you guys love PHP and I'm sure it has some merits. I still have my same old opinion of it. Just like I can't change a bunch of people's opinion on C#/.NET because it's from Micro$oft. We can

    I don't have to enumerate all of PHP's shortcomings to justify my position.

    I have plenty of other issues with PHP that haven't been addressed in 20 years. There are plenty of other better tools out there. You don't have to choose them, and I don't have to choose PHP.

    I will never give PHP any serious thought. Back in the mid 2000s I started an app hosting company as a side-gig. I started out hosting FogBugz (bug tracker) because Fog Creek Software only offered it as a self-hosted option. I had zero pr

    I tried Gemini CLI and in 2 hours somehow spent $22 just messing around with a very small codebase. I didn’t find out until the next day from Google’s billing system. That was enough for me - I won’t touch it again.

    This. I have had a 2016 F-150 since late 2017 - I'd never owned a truck before. I can go get mulch, take an entire bed-load of stuff to the dump (couches, mattresses, etc). When we go on vacation within driving distance (usually up t
