Not jumping ship until a politically fashionable trigger event offers itself is a fine way to profit from a system to which one expediently objects. That's an admirably shrewd career move, not rage against anyones machine.

Bailing out "in protest" when you're making phat bank to go make even phatter bank is great self-promotion with no downside. Seriously capable people don't stay unemployed long. The departing will be easily replaced which reinforces corporate policies they object to. No one loses anything because nothing is sacrificed.

"In addition, the SoundTouch app will no longer function after Feb. 18, 2026, though it will still be available for download until then in markets outside of Japan. Users' My Bose accounts will remain active.

As for why itâ(TM)s cutting support now, Bose says technology has evolved since the speakers first launched in 2013 and that itâ(TM)s âoeno longer able to sustain the development and support of the cloud infrastructure that powers this older generation of products.â

This likely isnâ(TM)t welcome news for audiophiles who have spent large sums of money on the SoundTouch rangeâ"particularly as units such as the SoundTouch 30 retailed for north of $1,000. One Reddit user claims heâ(TM)s now sitting on âoe$4,000 worth of bricks" following the move. Meanwhile, others called the ending of support "exploitative,â shared links to a petition calling on Bose to renew support for the SoundTouch range, and asked their fellow users to send emails to Bose's management team."

Bose survives on lifestyle marketing and nostalgia. They made decent small dorm and barracks systems when I bought 901s at the Ramstein audio photo club, but that era is ancient history.

In the grand scheme of things someone being here illegally and working construction is about last on my list of priorities

They bother me.

They are taking up housing that US citizens could use....everyone keeps complaining about needing more housing, eh?

They are a burden on our schools and other public resources.

They are dead weight on our medical system...in many cities they overrun the ERs of hospitals making it difficult for true US citizens to get emergency care in their own country.

Just a few examples.,,....the US budget would save a lot of money if they were GONE.

It turns out that immigrants commit fewer crimes than citizen

There you go again, conflating ILLEGAL migrants with LEGAL migrants, especially those that actually wish to come legally and become US citizens because they want to melt in and believe in our principals ans way of life.

Add some guard towers with machine guns and the border is starting to look like post WW2 Berlin.

Except in Berlin they were trying to keep people IN....there's a big difference from letting people freely leave if they want....and invasion from foreign entities.

Frankly, iI'd be all for settting up our snipers, they could get some free practice...

And a No Man's land....complete with a field along the border of land mines.

Ok I have a name for the project...

Operation: Hot Tamale

Thank you...thank you....I'll be here all week...

Heat Rays - >Tanning Lotion -> automatic rifle frying

There are few options for low-damage area denial. Which ARE acceptable and why?

A heat ray beats tear "gas" (which is really a cloud or spray of particulates) whose misery lasts after the target quits the area.

Even if you wear a CBRN mask the rest of you often gets smegged and that IME is not pleasant.

A heat ray does not require physical combat with attendant injuries.

 

These are TDK as advertised in vintage Bladerunner laserdisc

I'm pretty sure BarKlanBitch "volunteers" by giving sermons in his Klan Crossburning Incest Shit Trailer Park, like all the GOPedophile Klan Bitch Treason Cunts.

Do us a favor, off yourself so you don't waste the money that would have gone to you, BlahTheKlanFuckingShitragCuntboy Nazi Bitch. You GOPedophile Retardican Klan Party Fucks are all a cancer we should get our society some chemo for anyways.

When Slashdot mattered it was glorious.

While of course my Lenovo fleet is mostly from Ebay and of course runs Linux (with some Windows guests because why not?) I buy far more via Ebay.

People often part out personal vehicles and parts stashes cheaper than I can buy them from my local salvage yard buddies.

I don't even have to travel to save money. Much love for my local self-service salvage but that's also a drive so Ebay keeps winning with small sellers making bank.

I also bought my used commercial toaster for small money after my junk new Panasonic toaster oven died in a year, and repaired my Kenmore microwave with a used magnetron (then repaired my shit new Panasonic with used control board).
