Digital Convergence tried to do similar with the CueCat, a low-cost barcode reader that had a hardware serial number and for which the official software to drive it required you sign up for an account with them, giving them PII. When people

The point of this idea is that it would be under control of the individual wearing the glasses. I would most definitely not want it to be syncing to the cloud or some stupid shit like that. The buffer, and the storage, would need to be en

It's possible the state laws in question (Tennessee) only apply to audio recordings, which would suit my desire. I also don't believe that the idea of a rolling buffer that normally discards its contents to be morally against the

It depends on the cat. My girlfriend and I have four cats between us. The youngest one was warmed up before she got here (by her choice it seems, she pounced on my girlfriend when she approached her cage in the shelter), and made herself at

Pal's is a regional GOAT. They also have a unique "Sauceburger" with a ketchup-and-relish based sauce that takes me back to my childhood. Highly recommend.

You think Linux isn't widely used at scale? Phones are a different market from computers, even though they're technically the same thing. A large segment of people own "phones" but not a computer. Linux runs a large chun

It should be illegal for law enforcement not currently participating in a proper sting operation to lie to the person they wish to investigate. But it's not.

In other words, the format is intrinsically biased towards engagement of any type. Trolls get engagement.

It's even worse, IMO. That guy was replying on a thread about Charlie Kirk, but he was critical of Trump, and expressed that criticism with a direct quote from Trump .

Guitar Hero also isn't directly comparable to guitar. It's more like piano if anything. But the key point is that it brings a tiny fraction of the feeling of playing guitar to people who are completely tone deaf. The magic of Gu

Jobs was a dick, but so were many visionaries. See: Torvalds, Gates, Kildall. All with some dickishness, to varying degrees. We need people willing to say "fuck you" to bullshit. Otherwise, the boards take over and focus on anythi
