I agree that no players want this, but isn't roblox free to play? Making the player the product that is being sold?

And that period is comically small. Mine goes to the home screen after 30-60 seconds. It's ridiculous, but this makes sense.

Add it on the to reasons why I won't be buying another Roku device.

Maybe pointless for your instance, but not for a huge amount of the LA area.

Orange County, large parts of LA county, the Inland Empire, Downtown LA, and hell even San Diego will benefit from this.

I love the Metrolink (Live a few miles from two different stations, and used to commute to work in downtown LA on it).

Unfortunately, the hours absolutely suck, especially if you're not going during off-peak hours or in the opposite direction of your standard commute. They need to bite the bullet, increase the service levels and more people would be likely to use it instead of driving. I'd love to take it to LA for shows on the weekend, but it's just not really feasible at this point most of the time. But it could be if we'd invest in it some more.

Because a non-electric vehicle owner can hit an electric vehicle, and there's more and more of them on the road.

And when the electric manufacturers are making such bone-headed decisions that repairing a slightly dented panel results in a $42,000 repair estimate that includes disassembling nearly the entire vehicle, that affects everyone's insurance.

And yes I realize that the Rivian mentioned was able to be repaired for far less by going to a paintless dent removal shop, it still had to be shipped several hundred miles to one of a handful of people in the country with the skills to make the repair, the repair isn't perfect, and they managed to get extremely lucky to be able to make a paintless dent removal work. And it still cost significantly more than a similar repair to almost any other car would cost.

Citation for that? EVs are noticeably heavier than their ICE counterparts, and their tires aren't breaking the laws of physics to stop them faster. They can certainly out accelerate most gasoline powered cars, but everything I've read says that their stopping distance is increased due to the higher weight from the batteries.

This sounds like it would ban all cars, motorcycles, outdoor power equipment, farming and landfills too.

That all goes out the door when the shareholders are demanding continuous quarter over quarter growth. Almost every company now is looking no farther than the next quarter, how they can squeeze more recurring revenue from their users while cutting costs. This isn't just a Boeing problem, it's an unregulated capitalism problem that is going to destroy our country pretty quickly. Boeing just happens to be in the spotlight right now because their products are falling out of the sky and killing hundreds of people in a spectacular fashion.

Garmin watches are great if you're interested in a fitness tracker. They've got just enough smartwatch features to be really useful without trying to turn your watch into another phone. They have a really wide range of products, you can often get a pretty decent base model for around $150 on sale, all the way up to $1,000+ models. I have a solar model that cost around $250, is several years old, still holds a charge for around 50 days, has GPS tracking (Which drops the charge time significantly when using, but you only use that while tracking an activity), sleep tracking, activity tracking, etc. It's a great watch and I always get a laugh when someone with an Apple Watch or something similar makes a comment about how great their battery life is since it lasted over 24 hours.

If you're into any sports, all of the Garmin products integrate nicely as well. My watch works well with my bike computer, and also works with my satellite communicator when I'm in the back country. The Garmin ecosystem is pretty robust and has a surprising amount of things to offer.

Well they had 16 locations, so this was obviously a really large operation that will affect dozens of us. And they're Highly Instagrammable with the aesthetic lifestyle they're selling. Definitely news for nerds. Good jorb once again, slashdot editors.

The issue isn't agreeing to arbitration, although that is a bad choice. I know pretty much every company throws this into their EULA.

The issue is that they won't let me use my physical hardware that I purchased, for anything, regardless of whether it's using their services or not, until I agree to some random new terms that they're pushing.

I've got 2 Roku soundbars that were $180/each. A Roku subwoofer that was about $180, and a pair of surround speakers that were about $150. All rendered useless, unless I click the OK button.

Yeah that's a risk that I took buying into a proprietary system, but I never imagined that they'd physically brick the device like that. I'd figured that even if they went out of business I'd still be able to use the soundbar as a bluetooth speaker, but no.

Lesson learned, Roku will not get another cent from me even if they fully reverse this decision.

Which is great, until you get a big popup that won't let you do anything with your Roku until you click accept.

Which is what I had this weekend, on both of my devices, without any warning.

Slashdot's crack team of editors would let a dupe through? When did this start?

Based on this law, it sounds like I already commit a full on genocide in the shower every few days.
