Best to be deepfake granny & grandpa porn. Is there anyone working on that yet? The US legal system being what it is, I expect it will be necessary to prove the deepfakes are legal adults that consented to the filming.

Just buy Brother. Their driver support is also great for Windows and Mac. More importantly, they last many years. I'm still using the same laser printer from 2007. While my print volume is low, I find HP and most other printers star

I tried the app, but it doesn’t work for me at all. As a platform, Reddit is very flexible and can be used in many different ways. Their app has been designed for (or to create) social media crack babies that can’t stop swiping and infini

Terms and conditions can say whatever they want, but illegal terms in a contract are not binding. The problem is that this type of dispute usually takes years to litigate, so I have to think there is much more to this strategy.

The Samsung Fold and Huawei Mate X makes this thing an anachronism. It reminds me of a BlackBerry Playbook vs an iPad. How embarrassing.

It is, if you choose average fabrics like the department store. You can choose the highest end fabrics and you can easily spend thousands on a suit. Retail margins on clothing are outrageously high and obviously use average quality fabric

I’ve definitely noticed shorter meetings and it is now more common to end the meetings when the topics are covered. However, there are a few people that I work with that simply must blather on until the schedule time is used up. Making up

I use LibreOffice Calc for most of my work. It works just fine. The question I have is not about using spreadsheets, but why Excel? It takes way too long to load and the UI gets worse with every iteration. Most people don’t even use 99%

It’s a terrible article, but I wasn’t aware that they were bought. This is very expensive R&D, and being bought out by the FAANG is one of the very few positive outcomes for a hardware startup. Hopefully they did it for the money.
