Comment You don't need all that in a vehicle (Score 3, Interesting) 60

Your car is not a flipping home computer. Cameras, sensors, "infotainment" systems, huge tablet screens. All it does it drives up the price of the vehicle, not to mention the repair costs! Just bumping into another vehicle these days is a multi-thousand dollar repair, given all the sensors & cameras in vehicles today. malfunctioning phone-as-a-key functionality, a useless keyfob, a keycard that rarely worked quickly, constant phone connection issues, infotainment glitches and error messages.

Comment Re:The fact that this only has 37 comments (Score -1) 176

This site. Became a left wing echo chamber long ago. Remember all the complaining about politics infecting our technology discussions? We were rudely told off that the personal is the political and there can be no neutrality in the age of King George W., the president who was literally Hitler. Remember when we used to have actual NASA scientists comment on space articles? Drove them all off, with the rest of the dotcom era crowd. And I've been reading this site since it was a web log called Chips N Bits. I've been nodded into the dirt by a behind the scenes cabal who silence anyone to the right of Mao. If you wonder why there aren't 500 comments, a decade of far left politics replacing tech topics is the reason. I think I'm about done, too. I eventually left EFnet IRC and I'll leave Slashdot too. A relic of a bygone age. This entire comment thread is the hard Left whining they don't get their way. Politics instead of tech.You killed Charlie Kirk and it's OVER. Americans are sick of your shit. Go find another country, you can't stay here with us, that much is clear. Go now and lick the hand that feeds ye, and may history forget ye were oura countrymen.

Comment Blame part of this on environmentalist (Score 0) 118

Not all of the problem is environmentalist, but, we can't dig here, we can't drill there so we have to use outside sources for the things we need. Couple that with the greedy CEO/stockholders that want huge returns on their investments plus higher wages, move all of the jobs overseas.

Comment Useless liberal arts degrees? (Score 0) 109

Kids from the 80's to the 2020 era were pretty much all told you "have to have a four year college degree". They and/or their families rack up thousands of dollars in debt, for a degree that won't pay enough for them to move out of their parent's house. Too many liberal art degrees + not enough positions open to fill those degrees = low employment. But, on the other side, I see 2 year tech colleges hiring people by the time they graduate, and I see some manufacturing type places with "now hiring/hiring bonuses" signs.

How do you not see this for the obvious publicity stunt that it is? You must have voted Trump.

But it worked, you got enraged and engaged with the content.

Congratulations, you're the problem with the internet today.

Oh, and I am aware of the irony of posting a reply in order to condemn it, so you needn't bother pointing that out.

Comment Re:Hmmmm (Score 1) 8

Making things even worse we now see MAGA flexing another muscle here to exert force on America; they are getting people all over the country fired for daring to express a non-MAGA-endorsed opinion of the matter. Yesterday ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel indefinitely for stating a few days ago that we didn't know the politics of the shooter. How dare he suggest that the shooter might not be the left-wing devil that MAGA insists him to be!

There are endless counts of other people across the country who are losing their jobs for daring to say something disparaging on social media about Kirk after his death as well. MAGA is very openly celebrating these firings.

Comment Re:CHENGDU, China (Score -1, Troll) 207

Do you people really get fifty cents per post? Surely it's more than that by now.

Never seen such a panda hugger since someone pointed out that we should have responded to J6 like China did to 6/4at Tiananmen. It lacks the polish of using the A-10s to turn them into pink mist, but calling out the tanks to turn them into pink mash worked well. Just a remincer: when you want to overthrow the government, bring guns. Lots of guns.

Comment Re: Or... (Score 1) 159

I guess I should clarify. In addition to "just the W2" there's also a monthly, quarterly, or yearly payroll tax report that goes to the IRS, along with a whopping large check for the withholding, as part of normal payroll processing. Different companies do different reporting standards, of course. But they're getting the data a lot more often than you think, just from the money paid in *during* the year, before the return is filed for.
