Comment Re:Let's see in six weeks... (Score 4, Insightful) 243

I seem to remember the Iraq-area wars that the US was involved in going on far longer and less of an oil crisis happening this fast.

That would be because even during those wars and conflicts, we didn't have an orange-painted pedophilic retard with delusions of grandeur causing a weekslong blockage of the major shipping lane through which ~35% of the world's crude oil trade flows.

The closest we've seen recently was when the Ever Given got stuck in the Suez during 2021, and even that only lasted for 6 days. Plus, it wasn't as big a deal because less oil was being used worldwide during pandemic countermeasures.

The closest in the past 100 years is when Treasonous Klanbitch Ronny Reagan betrayed the USA and convinced the Iranian Ayatollah to cut off shipping to hurt Carter in the 1980 election, in trade for guns and other military supplies that the Treasonshit Republicans paid out later during Reagan's terms.

This is a terrible headline. Really one of the worst in a while, but it's actually The Guardian's fault as that is their headline as well. This is not encouraging people to use more power, but telling them WHEN they should use power. "It's windy and sunny right now, quick, wash your clothes and charge your car!"

Sounds like they had two things going on. First was enabling the content to be part of the notifications themselves. Second was never actually clearing out the notifications. Just checked and I have a couple hundred uncleared notifications from my mom's front doorbell camera. I don't know what the actual limit is but it is definitely in the hundreds that iOS will maintain.

Basically the EFF exists to defend pedo rights

You are disturbingly confused and thinking of the (GOP) RetardedKlan Party whose head is a literal 34-time convicted felon, pedophile who admitted in a Howard Stern video to invading locker rooms of underage girls at pageants, and all-around Treasonous Shitrag who wears caked orange makeup to hide his syphilis blemishes.

Comment Lenovo P15v touchpad (Score 1) 57

I just put a new touchpad in my Lenovo P15v and it was an ordeal. First of all, Lenovo doesn't have the part (not the original, nor the two alternative parts they list) , so I went with an aftermarket replacement part that is working like crap and I will have to replace yet again. The repair is was what I consider a major repair job. Had to fully remove the entire mainboard, which means thermal paste needed to reassemble, etc, in order to replace the touchpad, which is a mechanical part that will wear out in time (for example clicking down on it wears out eventually). And this is on a "workstation grade" laptop.

If only Lenovo wasn't the only company I can find with a laptop keyboard that is acceptable to me (dedicated PG UP/DOWN keys and dedicated Home / End keys), I'd like to try something else at some point.

Last time I checked, my vehicle is not a legal entity that can be cited for infractions. Whatever person is sitting behind the wheel of that vehicle is not known by a camera. I can't believe these things haven't been totally obliterated in court. In my state, the tickets you get from these things are actually from 3rd parties contractors who run them, and try to sound very official, but they are not actual summons through a court.

Comment Liability (Score 4, Interesting) 54

It absolves them of liability. If there is a law they have to validate age (even if it is ineffective and easily worked around by minors), and they are doing whatever silly thing they need to do to be compliant, then they have shielded themselves from liability.

By being involved in the process they can steer things to something easy and affordable to implement on their end. Make it work the way they want to (scan an ID, have AI look at their face, DNA test, measure their height - whatever method they're specifically wanting to do is why they are funding this and pushing for it).
