His age keeps becoming more and more apparent
  • Why howdy to you too šŸøšŸ«±šŸŽ©

  • Had to read it 3 times to make sure
  • Not a lawyer, but something makes me doubt all the courts around the world would hold to this.

  • California will force companies to admit you don't own digital content
  • What country are you in? You may be entitled to a refund/replacement since you have the receipts

  • Man-in-the-Middle PCB Unlocks HP Ink Cartridges
  • Luckily/unluckily (because effort), in Australia, consumer guarantees on length of time you can get a refund are vague.

    E.g. it doesn't matter that a fridge's manufacturer warranty is only 2 years, you expect that to last longer.

    With effort, you could probably get a fridge fixed like 5 years after purchase with some badgering / threatening small claims.

    Bricking your product would probably fall under that category.

    This is wild speculation, not a lawyer.

  • His age keeps becoming more and more apparent
  • I just can't imagine Trump using any technology whatsoever. I'm impressed he manages to send tweets off.

  • Nap game
  • Naps are not recommended by sleep psychologists if you are someone who has trouble falling asleep at night anyway, unless you are extremely fatigued, and in those cases, the earlier in the day the better so you can recharge your sleep drive before night.

    But yeah, I too wish I could give myself an actual refresh during the day with a siesta, but alas no.

    I am not a sleep psychologist and this isn't medical advice, second-hand info.

  • US cops get gun stuck to MRI machine in bungled cannabis raid
  • I feel like all public servants (including cops) ought to have public liability insurance, where money would end up coming from in these situations, which then the employer (police department, other department) needs to pay, the employee is aware of, and is part of their renumeration (i.e. the more their premiums cost, the less they're making), making idiots more of a financial liability to themselves.

    Quite quickly you're going to have people acting as responsibly as possible if you're insurance premiums then go up when you act like a moron.

    Obviously this would require protections so that people don't end up being screwed over by insurance premiums, but still, this seems to be an issue in public service all over the world, no consequences because the tax payer just ends up footing the settlement, and the public servant goes on their merry way.

  • Let me at 'em!!
  • I don't like Tyson because I feel he preaches an inaccurate version of the scientific philosophy. So many times I hear him saying things along the lines of absolute certainty, because it's SCIENCE.

    Where, we of the true faith, preach: the evidence indicates that this is the most likely to be true, or at least, this model makes predictions about the world more reliably than any other we currently have.

    Amen.

  • 'Global Oligarchy' Reigns as Top 1% Controls More Wealth Than Bottom 95% of Humanity
  • Pretty soon that devine right of kings and thing is going to look laughable by comparison.

    Kings were nowhere near this rich, or powerful.

  • fuck the tests
  • While I know that these days, bugs in code can cause real-world harm (personal info leaks, superannuation records lost, lol google), I find it humorous to think of the equivalent, even worse outcomes in my discipline (chemical/process engineering).

    "Didn't do any checks, fuck it, I know this calculation is fire šŸ”„"

  • Trump calls MSNBC host a ā€˜bimboā€™ after she makes case for voting against him
  • The number of people he's said he hates or called names because they've either supported the Harris campaign, or spoken against his, seems to be quite a lot.

    Baffles me that anyone could look on and think, "hmm yes, this guy seems socially intelligent", is beyond me.

  • Now your day is also ruined.
  • Australian y'all user checking in. It's not my fault there's no plural you in English, and the local (uncommon) variant "yous" has uneducated associations. Which, of course is unfair, but such is language and society.

    Anyway, thanks y'all, I'm going to keep using it.

  • Palworld maker vows to fight Nintendo lawsuit on behalf of fans and indie developers
  • How long do patents last for anyway? Pokemon being caught in balls must be many, many decades old by this point.

  • YouTube confirms your pause screen is now fair game for ads
  • They've started serving ads when you skip backwards. Drives me fucking nuts.

    I was willing to use the mobile app with ads because the interface is slightly less buggy.

    Ad blocking on mobile web it is for me now šŸ‘

  • BYD would still have the cheapest EV in the US, even with a 100% tariff
  • Yes, but also yes. Whole lot of "light trucks" on your roads with worse crash safety https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN7mSXMruEo

    The commenter doesn't deserve the downvotes

  • Inconceivable!
  • I do think it's reasonable to say they are all wrong, but I agree with you, this logic provided in the image doesn't make sense.

    It being impossible for all to be true, doesn't imply they are all false.

    It's likely they are all false, if you subscribe to the philosophy of science, where without testable evidence, it's deemed unreasonable to assume something likely to be true.

    The (in my opinion) correct opinion is that all religions are very likely false, because none have provided convincing evidence according to the scientific method.

  • Craaaawling in my skiiin
  • This is what I was thinking (but the younger age is younger)

  • Ohio sheriff suggests residents keep a list of homes with Harris yard signs
  • In other countries, not only would the voter suppression be illegal, but racial hate speech would also land this fucker in jail.

  • Pedal To The Metal
  • Oooooooooh, yes thank you. This will stop bothering me now šŸ˜Œ

  • AOC is right: Jill Steinā€™s campaign is not serious
  • Our of curiosity, and because I couldn't immediately find anything. Is MoveOn actively trying to change the voting system itself?

    Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone

    I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they're on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can't be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?

    Edit 2: I bought my Pixel 6 phone outright, directly from Google's Australian store. I have no creditors.

    Were the courts not enough control for creditors? Since when are they allowed to lock you out of your purchased property without a court order?

    I don't even live in the US, so what the actual fuck?

    Edit 1: You can check it's installed (stock Pixel 6 android 14) Settings > Apps > All Apps > three dot menu, Show system > search "DeviceLockController".

    I highly recommend getting NetGuard, you can enable pro features via their website if you have the APK for as low as 0.10ā‚¬, but donate more, because it's amazing. You can also purchase via Google Play store.

    I just can't help myself

    Especially when there's some mad person with a folder where they put ALL their markups, correspondence and revisions in the same folder, with no sub folders šŸ¤¢.

    10 mins before open

    While you're madly running about getting the store ready and dialling in the coffee.

    And they're mad that you're not open before the opening time...

    Saw that this hasn't made it over during the Reddit migration so have decided to start it myself (ChemEng).

    Engineers and all others welcome, architects too if they enjoy some bants.
