Yeah, it just happened to me a while ago. Banned from an online game inexplicably, for something I am absolutely innocent of. Their support team refused to do anything, assured me "the ban is correct". Only got lifted because o

Yeah, this reminds me, mine and my wife's bills inexplicably went up by like $5 this month, so now I have to investigate as to why our plans that have been locked in at a certain rate for years on end are now suddenly costing us more,

Yeah, actually until I finally haggled for a better plan maybe ~5 years ago, it used to cost me $0.25 to send an SMS to anyone, even in my own country (Canada)...

They should require essentially zero maintenance except maybe cleaning out all the dust/lint/crumbs/etc. that fall in between the keys. The actual key switches should last like... 20 years or more. What switches in your Coo

Yeah, I dumpster-dived a couple (original IBM Model M's), years ago, from the same PC shops that were throwing out working Pentium III / 4 systems. Totally great condition and still working problem-free today! I did have to purc

GOES sats are geostationary but the NOAA APT satellites are encircling the planet and you can pick them up. Old tutorial but still relevant, just use "noaa-apt" tool[0] instead of WXtoImg. https://www.rtl-sdr.com&#x2

This is so misguided. If I can in any way steal a car with a Flipper Zero (regardless of firmware), that car should be recalled and fixed by the manufacturer.

Well, Europe isn't exactly saintly, unfortunately. Germany is literally tearing down entire towns to make way for lignite ("brown coal") mining: https://www.npr.org/2018/08/06/635911260/g

Yeah, that's what's especially insidious about it. Until you attract the eye of Sauron by somehow setting off whatever unknown security trigger (which btw will never ever be disclosed to you), you'll never notice just how qu

Yeah, it sure would be nice if the same nations that deeply/fundamentally benefit from being epicentres of cutting-edge technology would actually do something to protect the rights of people who are reliant on and are affected by said

Huh, which browser? Scales flawlessly for me in Firefox. Actually one of the smoothest-scaling websites I've encountered in ages, wow. Nice!

Bourdain was awesome. His shows "No Reservations" and "Parts Unknown" are full of interesting, thought-provoking explorations of the culinary world, all over the world. I wish he were still around to share that with us

Yeah, "everything being in the browser" is probably a big part of the reason I can happily daily-drive a laptop from 2012 with a resolution of 1366x768 and 8gb of RAM (ThinkPad X230 running OpenBSD). All the other non-browser stu

Yeah, I was pretty excited at first, hoping someone is showing their forward-looking human-friendly computer, encompassing all of the best principles of permacomputing and frugal computing... Was not expecting some kind of "real-world

Ah wow, I just found some audio recordings of this guy's "swat" calls https://soundcloud.com/user-233140213/torswats-call-1 https://soundcloud.com/user-233140213/torswats-call-2 ht

Yeah for real, a life sentence is a pretty over-the-top suggestion.

It's not like he just did this once or twice. He has apparently engaged in this activity some hundreds of times. Purposely putting people's lives at risk, probably specifically hoping to cause as much harm as possible. He liter

Right, they will never stop, there will never be a ceiling at which any browser vendor says "okay this is good, let's just stabilize at this point and refine what we have". There will always be the endless thirst for greater

There's definitely a primal fear when you're 15-20m up on a rock where you feel like you have nothing to grip onto (or you're losing your strength) and you're going to fall -- even if you rationally know you'll be 1

Umm, what? I was just being a bit funny with my positive realization that my recent undertaking of a new sport has more benefits than I was previously aware. Why are you insulting me?

Huh, so going indoor climbing 2-3x a week has not only boosted my strength and endurance, but is also apparently reducing my chance of prostate cancer?? Sweeeeet.

Yeah, that's awesome! I sometimes find it very challenging to comprehensively "imagine" the end state and all its "moving parts", but I realize the value in doing so, and work at skill (if "skill" is the

Some people don't interpret earnestness correctly, and somehow feel like they have to insult it or make fun of it. I've had people think I'm "using big words to try to sound smart"... I wasn't trying any such

I saw a comment online recently that was something to the effect of, "not taking 'no' for an answer is rape culture", and as I thought about it, I can't say I disagree. The whole "take action now" /

It concerns me to know that these vehicles are on the road around me. What a mess. I’ve never seen such a blatantly ridiculous gear shift control in my life.

by amatecha 3y ago
Yeah, it's unfortunate as it took years for governments/municipalities/orgs etc. to start posting stuff to Twitter and embracing that modern "information pipeline" (as opposed to, at best, a rarely-updated website).
