When has DRM ever worked as more than a temporary measure? Also if car DRM is like games and software DRM, it will punish the honest user while not even remotely harming the thief!

At what point do we stop calling it an occupation, like it’s a temporary state of affairs, and call it what it is? None of us live in a land that was free from a history (some very recent) of violent conquest, and to be clear I know I’m tak

It’s a bit of a reality bias, for most poeple’s living memory. Politics and what people wish were true aside, the outcome for Palestinians is more or less a forgone conclusion. Acknowledging what is rather than a fantasy of what think shoul

It might be safer to be in one rather than walking near one, or driving alongside one. Sadly those are a lot harder to opt-out of!

Why? You’ll come out older, less healthy, poorer, and full of regret that you spent your time building casinos for children and people with gambling issues. If you’re going to work for a FAANG anyway, at least you can sell your integrity fo

The “upside” is that it’s never been easier to not play AAA games. Between derivative content rehashes yearly, insane microtransaction schemes, content cut into pieces and locked behind multiple season passes and dlc, and the endless busywo

Starbucks coffee drinks are to me what I’d imagine it would be like to gargle a sheet cake. Not just sweet, but cloying, and very fatty.

Writing things down is nice, but is sadly inadequate unless enough people later read what was written, and in a timely fashion, and the act on it. Otherwise you just have what we’ve dealt with for millennia, a record of history repeating

I see what you mean, but as you say their midterm elections are coming up, and no one knows if the Republicans will still have the necessary votes after. If Kavanaugh doesn’t get through, their chance to force someone like him onto the cour

It comes down to this: they believe that he’ll swing the court in favor of their chosen policies, be it restricting abortion or whatever else. If Bill Cosby or Ted Bundy were in a position to do that, they’d defend them too. It’s not about

At this point I’m left questioning his sanity, or his intelligence, and the latter seems relatively sound. What is wrong with this guy, that he can’t just stfu and help his many endeavors succeed?! Shut up Elon! Shut. Up. SpaceX matters too

The title and the contents of the article are seriously at odds, and I wish that FaceBook was dying. All I can say is that I wish every business I’m involved with could “die” like FaceBook, because traveling the world on a super yacht sta

No, it’s just that a lot more trucks are sold, period. About 16% of all vehicles sold were trucks. All told it’s about 6 millions cars vs about 11 million light trucks. The discrepancy between the 16% and other star is that “light trucks” i

Elon Musk says a lot of things, I’ll believe that they have a viable pickup when it’s rolling off the assembly lines. I’m also not sure that the market for pickups will care too much about having an EV. All in all it’s a very different mark

All I know is that this makes me feel safer, because as we know New Zealand is the number one target and nexus of international terrorism. With this move, I suspect peace will break out in the Middle East within days, weeks at most.
