I imagine they purchased a complete protection plan from Asurion for only $16.99/month

I, for one, am looking forward to the Shoe Event Horizon and evolving into a bird person. Throw off your shoes! Take to the skies!

I've never understood why athletes waste their time training and competing to get into peak physical fitness just so they can run around the block a few times. Fastest in the world, sure, but what's the point? Finally they can be replaced by robots that can do all that tedious work for them.

Maybe next they can work on a machine to pray for you, like a sort of electric monk? That would be a real time-saver for a lot of people.

How does Fog have access to this data in the first place? Are they really just able to buy it wholesale from Google?

In classic EA fashion, Origin was discontinued in 2022 and replaced with something called "the EA app," so the name's up for grabs. Maybe they can bring it back!

The limit of the filesystem was always 2TB, but Microsoft had this artificial 32GB limit in their built-in format tool. You could easily format a larger FAT32 partition using third-party or Linux-based tools.

I think this was an artificial limit kept in place to ensure exFAT adoption, specifically to ensure manufacturers paid their licenses.

Of course, there is still the 4GB file size limit to contend with, but I've never had a problem using a 256GB FAT32 partition on older devices, for example.

I think the distinction is that in this case Amazon isn't the retailer, they're acting as a platform for other retailers to compete against each other. So Amazon will argue that this "pricing health" algorithm is just a tool for sellers to ensure they have the most competitive pricing. If another retailer has a lower price then this is considered a "pricing mistake." They've offloaded the responsibility of price fixing to the individual sellers, which is pretty clever.

Of course they're manipulating pricing, they have an entire "Pricing Health" algorithm to control this and it naturally operates in their favor. That's what half their platform is about. Try reading through this if you want a headache:

It amazed me that we still used whale oil as automotive lubricants as recently as the 1970s.

We also used it to make margarine. Whale butter, yum!

Or maybe just 6 sets of 256. Why not.

I've always considered IPv6 to be one of the biggest engineering failures in history, except for maybe Therac-25.

But I'm sure someone here will graciously explain why I'm wrong and how IPv6 will save the world.

Yes, that may all be true, but what really worries me is the precedent this sets for more half-assed, for-profit implementations that are going to get driven through by other states and countries just because the EU is doing it.

And I suspect that for many, the loophole that you may not be the legitimate holder of the ID is going to be a major sticking point, and require some sort of ultrasonic face scan and extensive biometric data storage.

Oh yeah, the ones with the ugly headlights? Good for them, I didn't realize they actually sold any.

Only a 15% service fee? Even that's obscene. So if they sell a $100 ticket, they're going to charge $15 in service fees? For what? Should be a flat fee capped at something reasonable like $5.

Rivian? Is this another AI shoe company?
