The "think of the farmers!" excuse is the exact same as the "think of the children!" It's meant to make you "feel" for them as opposed to actually looking at the objective facts like "people have been

Just what everybody who's in the industry expected - Broadcom isn't a nice company - they've parted out and wrung dry anything they've bought. I won't be surprised if Broadcom starts EOLing the newest versions of ES

Hardly - putting someone in jail for going into a federal building under false pretenses? That's pretty darn close to just trespassing to me. I feel I have no strong biases one way or the other - I've only just heard of this media

I wonder what the potential harm to infrastructure would be if this bacteria were to escape landfills / remediation sites and happen to get into places where PET is used in something important. Not that I'm against finding ways to

Honestly the hybrid physical controls to control a screen is probably the best option. You don't have to visually process what's on teh screen, where to touch, etc. each time. Eventually I'd imagine you'd get the navigat

Yup - this absolutely is horrible when it happens, which is why I suggest next time OP creates a domain, they set up a calendar reminder or email reminder, or possibly set up auto-billing so that this doesn't happen again. Over the yea

I wonder if it's the whole "russia might drop nukes or EMP-blast a large portion of the globe because of what's happening with ukraine, i better EMP protect my electronics in case they get fried"

Yeah, I might not be remembering the story correctly. It might have been collision avoidance rather than the FSD portion of their firmware. I still don't think that FSD is really for prime-time in any capacity though. Seems to make far

It's the thing that nobody really talks about and conveniently ignores because if you do it means Tesla (and other AV companies) will go out of business. From my experience - if you don't have well maintained roads you're goi

What will McDonalds do if Russian franchises/restaurants just keep using the golden arches, menu item names, etc? Sure they might taste different - but what is McDonalds' recourse? Not sure they can do anything if they've dec

This is probably a silly question - but what are the complications of mitigating dust sticking to devices like solar panels on mars? My inexperienced mind thinks of things like windshield wipers, maybe some electronics to oppose the static

This is simply silicon valley companies trying to get a foothold in the "right to repair" market - they want to dominate and control what is good intentions by society to extend the lives of older devices. Of course Google wants t

Maybe I should re-word my original statement - Science has most definitely turned into (or is very similar to) faith-based followings/religions. I'm going to speak from a mostly western, north american viewpoint of the world. Woul

It's so easy to see it when you take a few steps back and look at the constant fear the media's been pushing for almost 30-40 years now - every once in a while there's an article about how "_this_ time it's an emerg

It's eye-opening to see the amount of unexpected changes we're going to go through as a result of the west deciding to completely remove an entire country from their economic systems and encouraging/allowing their citizens to

I don't understand the concept that each state needs to have their minimum wage immediately changed to $15 an hour. There's are hundred of thousands of possible factors that go into paying people in different economic areas with v

Especially when it was a feature by default in the Youtube app, then they took it away and put it behind said $15 paywall!

Concerning that researchers were able to cause a UPS to heat up and start smoking through software that connects to a cloud service. Why any IT professional would use a cloud connected UPS management service is beyond me. You're puttin

So the government rushes really hard to give themselves the power to freeze bank accounts, but they don't include a way to appeal your account being frozen until you're not able to use your funds for who knows how long. What a sha

I wonder if part of it is horribly cheap flash storage used in smart TVs, after a bunch of update cycles, telemetry upload/downloads, etc. etc. I wouldn't be surprised if the flash chips might be wearing out and take longer to rea

From what you're saying, I'm inclined to agree as well. It seems like the media is constantly panicking about ICU bed levels but we can just as easily go online and look at the publicly available numbers ourselves and see that it&

It's absolutely crazy that whoever decided to create the warning system in Canada decided to roll "amber alerts" and "presidential alerts" into the same alert. So now I can get woken up in the middle of the night fo

That is amazing. I love quirky old tech-debt that people still work around. It means there's either a sysadmin that is super into it and knows everything from inside-out, or they're a sysadmin that's pulled all their hair out

Isn't it possible to stick a label off of a used "pod" into the receptacle, making it think it's brewing "Keurig(tm)(r) Colombian Experience" instead of "Kirkland Signature Breakfast Blend" pods? I do
