FTFY — When I was a kid, my father fixed our vacuum tube TV so I could talk to my Sesame Street friends.

Fake news! I'm quite certain one of the turtles got him.

Looks like this Yahoo-only news story is being picked up by the right-wing echo chamber. Since the news media isn't picking up on this story, I'm going to call it fake news.

Jon Prosser explained in a recent video that he left iOS a few years ago because it was a mess, just got a gold iPhone XS because iOS is working again, and Android is in the same mess as iOS was a few years ago.

That wasn't my comment. It might help to remember that I now browse Slashdot at 0. I'm no longer reading what your sock pocket accounts are posting at -1.

No. Does it bother you?

Never heard of Captain Power.

GenX'er here. Went through this with Saturday morning cartoon shows being full-length ads for toys (i.e., G.I. Joe, Transformers and She-Ra) in the early 1980's.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

A coworker was refreshing a PC for a user noticed a large set of image files being transferred with peculiar filenames. He notified manager, manager notified security and security took a look. Both the old and new computers were confiscated for having child porn. The user freaked out because he wanted his old PC back, refused to accept a new PC or loaner laptop, and went chasing after IT techs up and down the hallway. The IT department was under lockdown for three days until HR stepped in to fire the guy. The funny thing is that he had six weeks of notifications that his old PC was slated for replacement.

To quote Orwell, some workers are more equal than other workers.

Foxconn is nothing in comparison to the $100B boondoggle known as the high speed bullet train in California.

I usually want lettuace with my bacon and tomato earphones.

Dubai has enough rich people who have the time and money to sail to the UK.

The City of San Jose raised its minimum wage law a while back. A local pizza chain with six locations in and around San Jose told the local newspaper that they had to raise the per-slice charge by $0.25 and customers didn't mind.

That would be a problem — if I was a vlogger. Vlog videos live in the moment. Search friendly content live forever.

Remember my "how to pronounce the latest iPhone names" video? It has 628 minutes of watch time. Why? It got watch time after Apple announced the new iPhones six weeks ago, the iPhone XS and XS Max went on pre-order and sale last month, and the iPhone XR went on pre-order last week and became available yesterday. It will get watch time every time there is a new release of an iPhone. The original "how to pronounce the iPhone" video from 2007 still gets watch time.

This is probably the same AC who called me a pedophile for posting a video of a children band from an art and wine festival and probably posted the URL on 8Chan. That video got 25 hours of watch time with 95% of the views coming from outside the United States and the top three countries (Ukraine, Brazil and Colombia) are known sex tourist destinations. YouTube creator support is still investigating that situation.

Sex trafficking is a serious problem that no one wants to talk about. There are some Silicon Valley engineers and ex-military men who will save up their money, retire to a foreign country, and a marry a "sweet young thing" (presumably 16 years old) with the village's permission. However, you don't have to go to a foreign country to marry a child because 27 states in the United States allow child marriages.

We as a society need to outlaw child marriages. Anyone who argues against outlawing child marriages is probably a pedophile.
