Yeah, I’d expect the bloat to hit when there is a boost in SSD sizes. Right now I think the biggest consumer-grade SSDs are 8TB and are still rather expensive.

Yeah, there is no reason for me to be connecting my TV to the internet. I use a HTPC which is much better for streaming than the TV’s built-in apps.

So they can play the Diablo mobile game then?

This wouldn’t surprise me

Would a roof manufacturer specifically only sell dark roofing materials? Why would they not also sell lighter / reflective materials? This seems like a fucking stupid way to run a business.

100% agreed. Ethics won’t win this war. It’s all about cost and convenience. Most people are looking at their personal bottom line.

This makes an excellent argument for pursuing lab-grown meat. I do just fine on plant-based meat alternatives and traditional plant-based proteins (e.g. beans). But some people have allergies or other conditions that make this more difficult.

If you really want to gag, look up ventilation shutdown. It’s a method used to mass-kill chickens, e.g. in the event of a disease outbreak. It has also been used on pigs.

The entire animal-ag industry deserves to fail.

Shooting people in the back is a bad look. Especially when the victim is a child.

This seems like the basis of Altered Carbon.

Israel lost the PR war. Everyone needs to just accept this and just move the fuck on rather than continuing to dig in their heels. Defending genocide and trying to suppress opposition is a really bad look.

Better get to work laying cable.

Light in a fiber travels much more slowly than in vacuum — light in fiber travels at around 67% the speed of light in vacuum

I’m a complete laymen when it comes to this, but this sounds like it would pertain to latency rather than bandwidth. I expect that fiber would have a much higher data capacity than satellite.

It’s because discrete generations aren’t a real thing.

You summed it up best: same age give or take a few years. I’m an elder millennial and have more in common with the youngest gen X than with the youngest millennials.

Millennials are more burned out because of having more time to have gotten burned out.

Compare people of same age. Get back to me about gen Z in 10 or 15 years and compare them to Millennails now.

Not that I see any chance of it, but I’d love to see her get sued into oblivion (i.e. by the people directly harmed by her) as we’ve seen with the likes of Alex Jones.

Watching such a fall from grace would be enormously satisfying.

It’s loathsome because she has chosen to use her vast wealth to punch down.

Transgenders are living rent-free in her head.

What a sad, hateful person who has squandered an opportunity to actually do something good with her considerable wealth and previous social capital.

This is one of the top objectives of project 2025

And people actually voted for this. Talk about a huge self-own. One of many, like that farmer complaining about having to milk the cows now because the immigrant laborers are gone.

If there is a ban, the amount of complaining from men who voted for Trump and now can’t watch it is going to be off the charts.

This was literally the first thing I thought when I read the headline.

Nelson (from Simpsons): “Ha ha!”
