Discussions have already begun within the upper tiers of editorial staff around enabling reporters access to technologies formerly reserved for intelligence agencies.

I mean, technically if you canâ(TM)t secure your communications the listener isnâ(TM)t at fault. And we know Hegsethâ(TM)s track record when it comes to sigint.

Comment It's the consumers... (Score 1) 77

Remember, it doesn't matter what artists want to make, it matters what consumers wish to consume. Money people, money.

I have no desire to return to the theater to watch a film - I've got a cozy den with a large screen, controlled atmosphere, access to any comfort foods I wish, I can pause to attend needs without concern - why the heck would I want to risk $20+ per person going to a theater and getting a lemon of a movie, or intereference from randoms???

And yes, IMAX and The Sphere are gimmicks like 3D/VR, they're not adding to the art of film, but if you're in town, it MIGHT be worth it as a once in a lifetime examination of the technology to confirm what I'm telling you here.

Eventually the talent will find the eyes where they're actually looking.

Doesnâ(TM)t seem like it would be that terribly hard to park down the block and DDoS the site routers taking Ring & friends offline, should you either have something nefarious planned, or in pursuit of LEO activity against nefarious actors.

No, the children died because they were infected, NOT because we didnâ(TM)t have something to fight that infection.

Antibiotics are a boon to be used when needed for those who can afford it, the rest of the world needs to rely on their natural born immune system.

Quit thinking because we CAN avert some tragedies that we can avert them all. The problem begins before any scientists get involved with antibiotics.

How about instead you invest in clean living areas for the children?

What kind of crack addled moron thinks a $600 phone is a stripped down phone? That's at least a factor of 10 more than a phone should cost in the first place - smart or otherwise. Jesus Christ kids these days.

You don't need to spend a dime to not answer your phone. You don't need to spend a dime to not doom scroll whatever social site you stupidly got yourself addicted to. You don't need to spend a dime to NOT use technology.

Accept (or don't) that I'm dealing with some saltiness this morning, but you get the point.

Iâ(TM)ll let the sales numbers over a decade out do the talking on the reach and impact the game has.

Many games are groundbreaking in different ways, but thatâ(TM)s not the question being asked.

Even now publishers everywhere are hoping Rockstar hits the $100 price point with GTA 6, gamers are hoping it doesnâ(TM)t got bogged down with social and political bullcheese, and all eyes are on the upcoming release. GTA 5 did that.
