And importantly, people died from that shit. Not every time, obviously, so you get morons with survivorship bias lamenting safety laws.

A kid in my neighborhood died from falling out of the bed of a pickup truck. Hit his head and was gone.

It was already a propaganda mill. Now it will be for the Nazis instead of China.

The problem isn’t co-pilot. Co-pilot is reasonably useful if you’re careful.

The problem is that it will almost certainly cost extra.

And that’s fucking terrible.

Sadly yes and they’re mainly taking the worst aspects. Normal built in features like heated seats as subscriptions, dropping smartphone integration for their own far inferior dogshit UI and features, and so on.

Eh if they come up with a reliable way to defeat it I’d say it’s worth it.

Navy SEALs seem shady AF and have for years.

So go fuck yourself. IDGAF about fashion at all, but there’s no reason to be a piece of shit about it.

Kettlebell swings get my heart rate to 140s or 150s. That’s only 25 reps at 25 lbs, and takes less than two minutes.

I use a wireguard tunnel and run my system through my dual PiHoles at home… on my iPhone. I don’t get tons of ads. But I’m stubborn like that. If they manage to show me ads after all, I’ll simply stop using the whatever unless I have no choice. I’m not married to any of this shit and hate ads more than I like apps etc.

Yup my first thought was “Where is your God now?”

Google ditched “Don’t be evil” a long time ago.

The joke is you n all of them - I’m an adult and I enjoy coming home and playing PC games on my PC with its large gaming PC monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

I’m glad you all love your handhelds, but I’m good without one.

I never found them to be reliable indicators of whether or not I will enjoy a movie. Not ever.

A subscription that somehow still manages to use surge pricing? I’m assuming that’s the next logical step.

Good thing my computer isn’t in Germany. I will stop using web browsers before I disable ad blockers.

Yes let’s be like Microsoft and delete everything we can get away with no matter how shitty it makes things.

Great job, really admirable.

Duh. Spacex isn’t your friend, nor is it benevolent. Not even if you’re a shitty maga fascist.

Fuck “lifetime subscriptions”. They’re taking a page from Tesla and I’m sure they’ll require any new owner to pay them separately should you sell the vehicle.

Simply avoid VW and any future brand that pulls this shit.

I just had the opportunity to purchase “AI” eyeglasses. They do recording, pictures, capture audio, supposedly let you talk to them, etc. IIRC the frames were by Ray Ban, they didn’t look awful.

They were powered by Meta. That was an instant hard pass for me.

TBF I’d probably have skipped them anyway, but if they’d been some other company I’d have at least been intrigued and given them another look.

Good, fuck ‘em.

The FBI says (or at least used to, who knows now that we’re the bad guys) to use ad blocking as a matter of cybersecurity.

I don’t care who it is, all my ad blockers stay on.
