They'll need lots of backhoe drivers.
At least for a little while.

It's the *company's* free speech that is being interfered with. The company is free to mess with what its users say, since it is not a government entity.

I was working there when they came out with the Bad Axe motherboard.
Broken drivers, horrifically ugly and broken "xtreme" configuration apps, flaky overclocking.
In less than a year, they were unsupported and left to die.

The chip engineers were top notch, but sales and management was full of clueless
expense account eaters, all waiting for the 90's to return so they could cash out stock grants.

It's a good thing that Intel hired will.i.am as Director of Creative Innovation back in 2011.
The forward thinking by management is really going to pay off now, when they need him the most.

I think that the Nest lock owners didn't like it that the battery life was terrible,
so everyone had to carry a backup key anyway or risk getting locked out.
All for only $250 to $300.

I have a gen2 Nest thermostat. Unless I pull the white A/C wire every winter,
It'll die mid-winter because somehow, it can't pull enough current to charge its battery.
I didn't snake the extra power wire because it's a 100+ year old house and not worth the trouble.
Nest knew about the design flaw years ago, said they would fix it, and never did.

Last month, a software update broke the thermostat's wifi, and it won't connect anymore.
Nest says to reboot my router (yeah, ok) or get a new Nest router.
Best of all, it insists on resetting the inside heat to 74 degrees, every day, because it's "smart".
So now it's actually worse than a 1960's Honeywell round manual.
I could screw with it, but I really don't need another hobby.
F'n Google.

A lifetime of psychotherapy,
encoded on eight feet of paper tape.

Penalties through the courts? Rights laws being upheld?
How quaint.

When Eliza asked, with a kind heart, "TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOUR FAMILY", we knew we had found the loving care that was missing from our lives, and the long path to healing our nation's troubled souls had, at last, begun.

It should be The Galaxy of America!

I predict that in about 20 years, having survived and grown through several administrations of different political parties, DOGE will be the second largest government agency in both employees and budget.

Of course. Putin knows how to kompromat. The pee tapes were with young boys.
If the recording was with women, it would have been posted on the White House website.

Buy them? All of those DNA corps have always delivered the data directly to the feds.
Why would anyone think that data would ever be private?
The clever twist is that they got people to volunteer and cover the expenses.
You just tickle American's self-interest, and they roll right over to show their bellies.

Always buy a computer that everyone hates.

The decline in the quality of education is directly reflected in the increasing rarity of
of intelligent and informative commentary here on Slashdot over its 30 year history.

And just like here, the United States has been overrun with anonymous cowards,
offering little of value, but proud of putting their ignorance on display for all to see.
