The car also comes with a deck of cards and box of clothes pins for the wheel spokes.

Or... you can just let the car sound like it sounds. If you want it to sound like a V8, get a car w/a V8.

Given who owns/runs these companies, I'm thinking "Jerks in a circle" -- but... it seems a bit wordy. :-)

Here's an article from 2015, 'Fake' Sales Trick Customers at Major Stores, Study Says -- (link to study, Sale Prices Are Rarely Real Deals)

I think I remember Haynes Furniture, here in Virginia, getting in trouble for this kind of thing a while ago.

Interesting. Anything to do with Trump boosts Argentina's Milei with $20 billion lifeline? Just asking as OpenAI CEO and co-founder Sam Altman apparently donated (at least) $1 million to Trump's re-election campaign and there's also OpenAI's Sam Altman Flip Flops On Trump After $500 Billion Stargate AI Project.

Which now includes being President of the U.S. ... /s (sigh)

Sir Mix-A-Lot: "I like Big Bugs and I cannot lie ..." :-)

Ya, I think I read that somewhere. :-)

... he forgot. :-)

Calling it "Snake Oil" is probably out.

In the process of switching to using other system full-time that's running Mint... So far, have just been lazy. All my systems are (technically) too old to run Windows 11, but all run Linux (or BSD) just fine. Thank you MS for forcing me to switch!

I can see the ad now...

I had MythTV on an old PC with an analog 4-tuner card and it worked great for years until my provider switched to digital only. I could have tried a HDHomeRun / Silicondust box with CableCard for the digital tuner, but my provider applies the Copy Control bit liberally and I didn't feel like futzing around with it. I got a 1TB TiVo Bolt and have been happy with it; I'm still using the legacy interface, not the "New Experience" and am happy I didn't "upgrade" the UI. If this setup stops working, I may try using Channels and TV Everywhere combination.

While I agree that their position is probably (at least) a bit hyperbolic, an argument could be made, from a support standpoint, that it would be preferable for all systems to go through the entire, same setup process, rather than having to deal with some that stopped at random points. From a real-life example, long ago, when I was a sys-admin at NASA LaRC and we had to do shifts on the Help Desk ...

I'm sure that "rock solid" evidence will be presented just after the GOP replacement for the ACA and "Infrastructure Week". :-)

Or Justice Alito would just use a loose interpretation of something from 16th century British Law and assert that it applies to support his desired interpretation of The Constitution, like he (basically) did to overturn Roe v. Wade.
