what? I'm reading this as: "We're gonna need oil for fuel when we go to war with china" But south America is easily blockaded in times of war the oil (if we needed it) would be ours regardless. Second, we don't need

That’s interesting who are they? The few venezuelas I know hate it too, so like is this a gulf war 1 or Iraq war 2? This usually (never) goes well for the USA. (Source: pick a regime change war.)

Maybe? I don’t know there is an Authorization of Use of Force, and we’ve been conducting turkey shoots on civilian craft for lik 3 months now. Seems on “Illegal” side of things, for whatever that matters in ‘26 huh?

Hell no! TV ads were Goliath! Radio still stays relevant, too. Late night is where it dried up. (nowadays it’s podcast spot and insta bullshit? Eh.)

People flocked for this crap though, they were a consistent and reliable partner here. Times change though and everyone started just heading to Walmart, the modern version of sears in essence I guess, and Amazon who didn’t profit at all for

Yeah they didn’t manufacture anything so they did get stuck with this crap especially after their influence waned on their suppliers. Washing machines used to be better and much more reliable in my experience (if less efficient) for ex my p

Oh yeah they from what I recall they slowly dismantled it after what’s-his-face became ceo. Too big to fail before that. By the end, in a lot of their stores they would have people with iPads walking around accepting payment right there in

Oh man I totally forgot about that Toolbar scourge back in the day day! These trash piles were all over and everyone’s mom that I knew had like 3 or 4.

What’s extra terrible is people being harassed in a ny organized fashion are now easily written off as crazies. Well… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBay_stalking_scandal

Print or print to pdf works but feel terrible leaving pdf and printed QR codes around when I have an actual handful of HSM/security dongles in that very same desk drawer :(

Big disagree, if they distribute the code they’re on the hook for the gpl source, too! That’s about as ridiculous as buying a plane and knowing you’re entitled to the gpl sources used.

Wow this is so crass! Imagine like getting your Medal of Honor this way or something like a dissertation with this crap, hehe Just to underscore how few people value your accomplishments, here’s an autogenerated madlib letter with no line b

Works for google (should!) but man there are some platforms that don’t expose the Totp code, or let you redisplay it! Sometimes they make you remove the old one before you can make a new one, too.

thats funny, i interpreted this as "Hosted Asterisk People Sell a Default Experience" (and probably charge for custom messages) so its cool to see something different and marketable

in my experience, in/out porting with google is super quick and works great. It costs $20.00 IIRC. I port my primary phone number around to avoid unlawful surveillance, handy tool in the bag.

My primitive instincts lead me to believe that sometimes they end up being Case-Sensitive and Sometimes NoT! (depending on implementation)

This is really brilliant. Once thing I've noticed whe dealing with support cases in a variety of industry is, while there are different types of customer needs/comlaints (ex. a customer who is afraid of losing their warranty servi

well, I think its relevant to tech, vc, and startups. An event like this exposes a chink in legacy media practices that could be distrupted by a new media player like youtube, or whatever. If 60minutes had used a more modern distribution pl

Big disagree that integrated always works better than modular writ large, but in any case maybe they could just hire this guy to do it? https://github.com/kavishdevar/librepods

Not gonna lie, I’ve driven thousands of cars professionally including almost every Tesla and the entry/exit is always a nightmare. As a technician or driver, I always had a moment of ennui when I saw the make Tesla roll in. Maybe I’m a

Dunno (maybe wow?) but is it the most expensive graphics hardware giving AAA all the money/air or because they have a great reputation as games, solid consistent advertising, a strong network effect and a spot on the top of new release

That doesn't sem very plausible, how many people are driven away from CounterStrike or like League of Legends because the graphics weren't as good as Cyberpunk or whatever? Theres a LOT of games that compete with AAA-massive-budge

I just wanted to note that Firefox reached out to me as a user and requested a video call to discuss how I used one of their features. I declined, but later they reintegrated their request with a servey, which I did accept. These requests w

Faking data is a good method, but has issues it seems. Moxie tried that with GoogleSharing system back in the day. Not really sure what the biggest downsides were, but it was discontinued.

We don’t need flock to track stolen or flagged vehicles, there is already a national patchwork of cameras (typically on intersections) that do this, bullet type, dome type, and the very old IR ALPR type. Been this way a long time. All flock

Nope. Should mention, stealing nearly any car is extremely easily, and quite fast, too. The reason more cars aren’t stolen is because they are registered to an owner, and the resale value of a stolen cars is on the order of a couple hundr
