I've already been burned via amazon a few times recently. Most recent one I bought a multi-tb hard disk, but got an old multi-gb disk shoehorned into legitimate box. Couldn't just get a replacement - had to buy one for more money

Remember that vizio makes more money from "processing" your data than from the tv itself. I think we need car-based ad blockers.

We all want to search in a trusted way. Mistrust gets in the way of sales. But nobody wants that. They want you to buy their product, not the best product. I rarely see a store where you can filter some characteristic OUT of search resul

I think people should foster "regular things" in the tiny things in their life. Not huge group potlucks/etc. If you go to lunch with a friend, ask "would you like to do this regularly?" lunch/walk/hike&#x
