They need to drop the panic. It doesn't work. It's always 10 or 20 years out and will be irreversible or gone forever. In 2002, scientists predicted the ice fields on Kilimanjaro would disappear between 2015 and 2020 “if current climatological conditions” persisted. Yet that didn't happen.
Now if they just said there is a trend of warming. You know, coming out of an ice age it's been warming. The glaciers made by that have been melting. okay.
Until then it's all about "give me money". if it was for real solutions they would be worried about pollution in India, china, etc. But I don't see any of these people trying to slow down the growth in those countries. Heck, China was just in the news for building more and more coal plants. If it's a world problem, but only treated as a "here" problem, it's about money and only money.
I own the superbox. I don't watch much TV, so it doesn't see much use, but yes, it has nearly everything. More stations than I know what to do with, all the sports channels if you care about that stuff, video on demand (they're just downloaded torrents) so while most are good quality, some have the weird logos or closed caption forced in, but mostly it all just works.
I do like the live tv rewind feature too. Show started at 5 o'clock and it's 5:20? No worries, just start from the beginning. Not available on everything but the most popular. Stream through your VPN? No problem, it's an android device so just add it.
Again, I rarely use it, but that's mostly because tv today is nothing but crap. But if you want to watch a thousand channels of crap... Well then get one of these and enjoy.
So basic economics of supply and demand?
Way to go Bloomberg... Right on the forefront
This falls under the "so what" category. Either you get yourself or your kids vaccinated or you don't. If you got vaccinated... Why do you care? You're not going to catch it.
Amazon wants to sell products, third party companies rely on selling their products via amazon. Now you doesn't want you to buy products through them if it's via another app?
Researchers warn... blah blah blah. It means they're looking for grant money most likely.
If the panic headline of the day was ever what it was said to be we would all be underwater right now, but that hasn't happened either, and we are well past that "researchers say" warned headline now.
Bunch of quacks
Make a poor adaptation and be shocked when you shut it down because no one likes it?

I see this: https://blog.glitch.com/indust... was last updated in 2020. Very up to date and timely.
Creator interviews last stopped roughly a year ago
and on the main page, their last "update" was June of last year.
Yeah... Probably safe to say no one will miss it.
I honestly just don't see the appeal. You're paying far too much money for what amounts to mostly junk available. Are people really watching that much TV still?
Found the retard
Yeah, twice in same day on a site no one uses except old ladies. Good going boys. It's not like you're inundated with stories and posts to curate these day.. *sigh*
I already ordered mine and hope to have it next week.
GPS, E-ink, no apps. Just a phone and SMS. Perfection.
I've been running GrapheneOS for a long long time and love it, but it still allows apps and I just want to get away from any time sucking succubus. Hell, I found that if you even just shut off the alerts you stop using most of the apps.
Take back your lives and ditch the phones that make you look at them when you're bored.
I've got a bad feeling about this.
