My set is going for the 7th year of service. I am considering to buy a feature phone instead of a smartphone when it will eventually croak. We've gone too far with those things.

Is there even a need to debate ? Shadowing information is never a good thing. Every attempt in that direction cannot but raise suspicion, at least.

Oh my, the 5G bullshit. Conspiracy lunatics tend to be omnivorous, they always believe in multiple crap "theories",regardless of the fact that sometimes are conflicting.

As the disinformation-propaganda Putin outlet that is, Russia today has tried hard to sow panic and distrust in a most obvious fashion, positively overshooting its job this time. Every good liar has to mix in some truth into his lies but this time the guys went so far it was obvious what they were doing. Everyone lies,we know that, but WTH. So no wonder that the chinese are playing that game too. In truth almost everyone has somewhat screwed up this time. And talking about screw ups of course the Don is a shining star here.

So Facebook has found new ways of being harmful , now spreading unchecked pseudoinformation about a most serious issue.

They make , or inherit money and then start thinking to be immortal beings. What do they plan to do if their money all of a sudden loses value ? I don't think many of them will be good at becoming self sufficient pioneers to survive in a world devoid of people willing to serve their needs. Good luck when their food stashes are gone, when their stuff needs maintenance and needs to be fixed, when they need medical assistance but drugs nor physicians aren't around any more . Then they'll finally grasp that without other people around they are just a bunch of spoiled idiots good for nothing sitting over a pile of banknotes.

I used to like the journalism of outlets like rt.com because at least they were giving a different version of facts, usually coming up with news inconvenient to the west, given that everyone is lying all the time for his own interest and one should listen to all opinions and points of view to get a bigger picture. But now, now, Russia Today and the rest of that galaxy like sputnik news, mixi media etc are clearly attempting to sow panic and disinformation in the west. Their agit-prop potential has been ramped up to 11 , to the point that it partially fails its purpose, being so obviously biased and partisan. They are really trying to stir waters and rile up people. Also the comment sections are usually populated with neonazis and the vilest brainless conspiracy theorists, including this new breed of anti-5G braindead junkie zealots. Pretty disgusting if You ask me.

yep, everything in this story screams "Looney Tunes". I can even picture the PMSOAB standing still in the air for a bit too long before falling down

Probably many of us, myself included, expected this to happen but it is not laughing matter because this guy wasn't simply stupid, it takes insanity of a high degree to pursue such Wile E. Coyote plans. This guy pulled a Jackass (the movie) grade stunt when all It took was a balloon and a camera, as demonstrated by high school boys more than once. But of course all cameras have been manipulated by the manufacturer, of course... The trouble with flat earthers is the psychosis : they will deny all evidence and if one of them one day will be ever able to see a round earth with his own eyes, two are the possible outcomes: 1) he won't believe his very eyes and will start claiming of having been drugged or that false memories were implanted into his brain by the CIA - reptilians - illuminati etc. 2) other flat earthers will claim he is a paid liar, or -> #1 There is no way talking someone out of a psychosis. I have a friend of mine who is a flat earther, because she is utterly and completely off her rocker and will start rabidly yelling at you if you dare criticize her deranged views about life, the universe and everything. So, no point to argue and fight, they only need to be abandoned with their folly.

Yes, you've read this straight. Fifteen millions for a smartphone. just check it out: https://financesonline.com/9-r...

Maybe that a fourteen hundred dollar phone can offer useful features for some, or maybe not. Personally I would prefer paying an arm and a leg for a top end computer rather than a phone but there are people who want a status symbol for showing off and a phone is ideal for that purpose, after all is akin to a luxury watch. And watches can get unbelievably expensive -you can spend millions over a wrist watch, if you've got the money and motivation for doing that. To each one his own, there are great "jewel" luxury smartphones for sale that offer not so great technology encased in diamond encrusted golden frames, and one even managed to pull a $1000 app doing nothing other than witnessing the wealth, stupidity and vanity of the buyer. And know what ? we should be fine with that.

In north Korea maybe. This is tantamount to punishing someone for not accusing himself and very akin to judicial torture. The simple idea of jailing someone indefinitely in absence of a guilt verdict is a slap in the face to all most basic principles of human rights and it is no surprising that the united states do routinely such things, after all it is broadly patent that they are just a fascist dictatorship in travesty and the main and foremost rogue state that has stained its reputation in every imaginable fashion. American exceptionalism is a thing : they are exceptional in their record of human rights violations, brazen hypocrisy, mass slaughter of innocent people, use of homicide and torture and death penalty and banned weapons, number of coups and wars directly or indirectly waged upon weak nations and generally being the scourge, scum and curse of this planet. Did I sound a little bit harsh ?

I may be the grumpiest old man but this thing that MY ******* CAR can be remotely disabled, tampered with,and who knows ? Hijacked or sent down a cliff by the manufacturer is like handing out your balls to a stranger. It is already infuriating that modern cars started nagging you and getting into your way by themselves, but this is absolutely ludicrous. Also. people is growing increasingly paranoid about stupid shit while in the other hand they give full access to their entire lives to private corporations, that -as pro-capitalism as you may be- cannot be regarded as organizations following a high standard moral code of conduct. People today are like that girl friend of mine that does drugs, chain smokes, drinks heavily and drives but is all paranoid about healthy foods and electromagnetic pollution.

Men that want to be women. Women that feel like they're men. People that pretend they're toucans or parrots and think they can sustain themselves on a all-plant or even just-fruit diet. People who think the earth is flat, vaccines are there to make your children sick and contrails are chemical attacks. People who believe all sorts of brainless crap and yell angrily and aggressively at everyone who dares contradict their faiths. Now vegans think they're better than the rest because they conjured up a deficit diet that requires supplements to be tolerable. Maybe the best thing is just leave delusional people alone, free to get hurt pursuing their dreams and stop talking about them because arguing is pointless, it's just good to annoy everyone involved. Just let them be. Hush, hush.
