Ive had people throw cans and shout at me while walking. Never understood why. Your comment brings it together for me after so many years. I wasn't homeless, just didn't have a car at the time and was used to walking long distance

As with everything these days, it's another set of extremists powered by social media high on views, likes and random outrage. I guess someone will get shot in due course and the extremists will follow suit.

Spectator apps are encouraging and literally incentivising dangerous behavior in the real world. The world is worse off for entertainment and ads.

I went the Intel NUC8 way a couple of months ago after wanting larger 4k displays and faster drives. Pretty good value for money. I dont game etc, so I just needed the basics.

No thanks. We have enough smartness from Samsung TVs and their Mobile phones as it is. It's a shame because their HW is value fo rmoney, it's the software that seems to want to waste your time. Are there any electronics companies

I am not sure if anyone has had a look at Indian twitter of late, it's awash with hate speech. Women, students, rights activists, journos, all of them have been plastered with hate by right wing "hindutwa" extremists. Funnily

Fuel prices, traffic congestion, cheaper rents, healthier air, are all advantages that cannot be taken away. Taking the commute out of my job gave me an additional 4 hours everyday not counting lower stress levels. Doing away with random ca

Humanity is solving the wrong problems. Money and ways to make it seem to be pointing in directions that are odds with the general good of the species at large. Ad tech has poisoned so many wells in the last 30 years.

America still has cheap gas and taxes in comparison to many places in SE Asia. If you factor in real wages, direct and indirect taxes and the lack of social security nets, I guess places like India etc would look real expensive.

Having to throw out completely usable devices because of batteries conking out should be a crime and should be classified as littering by the manufacturer. I still miss my old Nokia.

The doomsday clock is nearing 12. Moving away from population centers is probably the wise thing to do. If I learnt anything from the COVID waves, this is it.

A lot of us dont trust them. They want credit cards and justifications and an approval process that seems like it is one of their con-fusion Enterprise apps. It's a hit or a miss especially if you want a machine in a geography that&#x2
