Oh, what, like the current federal administration? Lol.

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, no, no there is not.

Yep. My OnePlus 7t pro lasted far longer than any other phone I've had (Samsungs, old Google G2, that old slide phone with the qwerty keyboard who's name I've forgotten). It's made me a convert so I stuck with the brand instead of switching to a Pixel.

I'm on my second OnePlus. I got the 7t pro when TMobile was offering it in the states after having several Samsungs and just being over what garbage phones they are. The 7t pro just bricked itself back in Feb after being a mostly solid phone for six years. The battery life was starting to show signs of age middle of last year and I was hoping to eke out another year, but unfortunately that wouldn't come to pass. My only seriously complaint was that the biometrics on it never really worked and the one I got this year, everything works flawlessly.

Yup. Talked about this before.

Company I distribute products for used to use FedEx. There were issues. Other distributors, and - I assume - customers complained about them. Owner ended up talking to USPS and I think DeJoy, who sold him on a bunch of promises. Lemme tell you things got worse before they eventually, kind of, got better. Things still aren't perfect, but apparently there's been enough complaints that we got an email last week that there's a "test run" using Amazon logistics. We'll see how that goes. I've occasionally bought some stuff off Amazon and the drivers can be illiterate or incompetent in deciphering unit numbers for businesses in strip malls.

That's what she said.

Are cops held to a higher standard in the UK than the US? Seems like whenever a cop puts away an innocent person using Ai, they get a slap on the wrist, at most.

I was just forced to get a new phone recently because my six year old phone stopped booting.

I think it's the SSD storage. It booted up once after letting it sit over night but pretty much froze and restarted.

Just make sure you have proper backup, so you don't lose data.

Some of the adults in the room have been doing this for decades, anyway.

Growing up a latchkey kid, I've become desensitized to online ads.

There's some stupid ones lately that pop up while I play games. The Tai Chi walking ones. They sounded way too good to be true, so I actually found some real videos on YouTube describing what it can and can't do for your health.

One honeypot to rule them all.. ?

That's beyond a stupid decision by the manufacturer.

This reminds me of the (still badly) running joke that people name their WIFI routers. I had a friend who used to freak out over that, and I'd always respond with "cmon, you *really* think the FBI would be that obvious? His conservative conspiracy mind was hard to over-ride.

This was the first thing that came to my mind, as well. What's the point of creating oxygen if there isn't a planetary system that keeps it from escaping into the void?

Shouldn't that really be the first thing they do to terraform Mars?

After. Watch Andor after. The continuity error at the end of season 2 is a bit jarring.

Because China.

This isn't some anti-communist post. This is just a fact that one of the US's primary rivals is doing something in regards to moon exploration, so therefore the US needs to show off. Think about the last set of landings. Incentive was USSR. There's been no reason since.
