>housing got more expensive as current homeowners are reluctant to move due to inflated borrowing cost.

As apposed to the scheme that caused the money crash in the first place?

Slashdot need to extend the score count, this is the funniest post I have every read :)

>It took about 30 seconds to convince her the kid was a stinker.

Did that involve a cut & paste of the text into a webpage testing for AI content?

Asking for a friend.

It still reads bad. I recall a quote from Blaise Pascal, "I'm sorry I wrote you such a long letter; I didn't have time to write a short one." Give me an AI with Pascal's approach please :)

Also, is that the same Pascal the programming language is based on?

14 day return policy? Well there you have it. Most people are just trying it out, doing a few social media posts for the attention, then getting their money back.

Heck if I knew that policy, I would have done it myself.

Enshitification.

>They want to own something.

I think that is the most insightful comment I have read for a long time. Great analysis.

My attic is creaking under the weight of a ton of books, but at least I know when I go up there, they will still work!

Sad reflection on the digital age though.

So far I'm finding netflix fine, I haven't seen an advert yet so will keep with it.

>I'm not sure I want to risk un-vetted apps being available that might be downloaded on my phone.

Un-vetted. So you want only apps vetted by Apple. Do all your principles align with theirs? If so, you are fine. If not, you are screwed.

>The CEO has just admitted to a supply chain RCE vulnerability in their printers.

He has no clue, he's just reading a script.

I doubt it's true, I've written asset security code for this type of device. At worst, they found a DOS attack that will be fixed in the next driver revision.

This, exactly. And it's come everywhere, hell I notice it on youtube now due to blocking ads.

How is it that such dumb people make senior roles?

I have a Brother 3150 CDW. No issues after, jeez, I forget how many years. 7 I think.

I agree with you. Until we have a far better battery technology, which I am sure will come, this has to be the best solution.

Hell, we had video rental stores in the 1980s, where you went in, borrowed a tape, and brought it back the next day. That technology was great at the time, and a joke now.

I'm sure we will pass through the battery technology issues the same way. Some of us old times still alive in 30 years will make the comparison again :)
