Trump demands California voter ID law for wildfire relief and threatens FEMA upon arrival in North Carolina
  • the nitwit probably thinks sb1174 'banned' voter id (or rather, was told by a different nitwit that it did). it didn't. it banned local jurisdictions from making-up their own local 'voter id' rules so the state didn't end up with dozens or more different ones depending on where you were. it did not affect the id requirement to register to vote.

  • Cooler Master doesn't allow VPN users to use their RMA contact form
  • good luck. hopefully more than we had with them years ago. we got broken, falling apart product back--literally in pieces. despite being well-packaged and in an undamaged outer shipping box (iow. it shipped from them in that condition). and then ignored. never did get a single response back on our subsequent efforts to get service. it was (and will forever remain) the last cooler master product we purchased for ourselves or anyone else.

  • Trump Proposes 'Getting Rid of FEMA' While Visiting N.C.
  • how many states have fully-staffed and funded equivalents ready to deploy on a moment's notice to a large-scale emergency? probably count 'em all on one hand, while simultaneously giving lord diaper the bird.

    'federal' assistance will be there in time for hurricane season.

  • What app is so useful, you can’t believe it’s free?
  • windows drivers. i've been doing this work for decades: i quit chasing down every driver update from all the various manufacturers years ago. windows is actually really good at fleshing-out necessary drivers and putting them on, and has been for awhile. gamers and others that 'need' gpu driver updates, sure. get 'em from the source. same with things that windows didn't have for some odd reason.

    my own 'gaming rig' in use now (zen3, 3060, w11) is just using the gpu drivers from windows update. they work just fine. i've never even loaded nvidia's control panel on that pc and accepted its eula so i could make what few adjustments it has (very limited compared to the 'full' driver pack). they're actually more stable, even: when the system updated to w11, i did try the 'latest and greatest' but the system crashed daily. rolled back (ty, reflect) and kept the wu-supplied drivers, and been smooth sailing ever since.

  • Tuna melts and how to go viral. That's all we're getting.
  • their 'secret', and it's not really a secret..

    they're loud. they scream lies all day, every day, without end.

    the counter would be to do the same, but telling the truth instead; calling out the bullshit the republicants shovel. all day, every day, without end.

  • Poisoning AI with ".ass" subtitles
  • this is great.

    it could be compensated for--and probably will be.. eventually, if it becomes a nuisance to ai farms. just like a good web indexer ignores super-small and bg-colored (like white-on-white) text on web pages now..

  • Elon Musk email to X staff: ‘we’re barely breaking even’
  • overpay (by a lot) for the company.

    a bazillion stupid-ass decisions.

    chase users away.

    chase advertisers away.

    the stupid rebranding.

    can't make money. :::shocker:::

    the 'richest' guy in the world whining about not making more. fuck off, old spice.

  • Target rolls back DEI initiatives, the latest big company to retreat
  • their whole selling point is that it isn't walmart. it's 'better' (subjective, yea. but it's mostly true).

    if they turn into just a different color walmart, it's game over. there's room for only one walmart, and target will never be 'it'. hell, walmart might not even be the last one standing.

  • Linux 6.14 Adds Support For The Microsoft Copilot Key Found On New Laptops
  • it's not really an "extra" key.. but it is mapped differently (lsh+win+f23 or sumsuch) than one it might be 'replacing'.

    in us-ansi layout the right-side ctrl, a second winlogo or context menu key.. could all be gone leaving only right alt and new copilot key between space and arrows.

  • Meteorologist Who Called Out Musk’s ‘Nazi’ Salute Gets Shown the Door
  • many wisconsin stations are downsizing and consolidating, closing local news operations and studios, etc. one ownership group (different than this one) is actually getting rid of local weather persons and outsourcing their weather to the weather channel or some bullshit like that. which will work real well when localized bad winter weather hits, or tornado/flood seasons.

    at any rate, this station (and others) are probably on the constant lookout for a reason... any reason... to shed someone from their staff, and if replaced--will replace for less money.

  • What is the point of fast food anymore
  • double 1/3rd pound burger? off the regular price menu, upsized with curls. ya. that'll be pricey for what you get.

    next time do the 'little' double cheese in the 'bag' special. 2 burgers, fries, drink for like six and change.
