Fucking weird, isn’t it? Another rant would be about where is all the advertising money coming from?! Imagining being a buyer, I’d have to wonder how well my spend would be profiting.
A couple of decades ago I played around with being a salesman. Top advice was to try this ad, try that ad, compare results. Surely these people are finding revenue from spending on these ads? It just seems impossible to me that there’s profit for all of these cockroaches.
I feel like you weren’t there, in that time and place. Or maybe you were in some weird pocket where OTA wasn’t available? Can’t remember anyone bitching about lack of antennae service. Yeah, it could be sketchy, but I think most of us could drag in ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS.
I’m old, so many may not relate. I remember when the big selling point of this newfangled “cable TV” thing was zero ads. Can you imagine that?
Yeah, I have Prime for the savings on shipping. Got the Kodi addon for watching Prime, never used it except to watch The Expanse a few years ago. Would have been fucking enraged if I had seen ads cut into that. Fuck am I paying for?!
Ah! Didn’t consider the input could be analog and not 1 or 0. That opens up a wide range!
This is nothing short of stunning, had no idea anyone was even close to this sort of interface. And it’s only an 8-bit input! Fuck me, I would have made a (totally ignorant) guess of at least a couple of thousand sensors.
Hoped for a video. :(
I’m going to start using “inhumed”.
No, making money is not a legal obligation. CEO at my last job told the board, two years in a row, that intended to lose money so we could invest in our people and tech. They cheered him.
Can you imagine 6 dudes with AR-15s, nothing fancy, responding that that threat? One wonders what might happen.
And now the DEA’s got a chopper in the air,
I wake up screamin’ like I’m back over there,
I learned a thing or two from Charlie, don’t you know?
You better stay away from Copperhead Road.
Politically speaking, it’s easy money. You pander to the conservatives with blocking propositions, get votes.
*Who is going to champion the flip side?!"
That threw me as well.
That was my take, and I hope we’re both right. I’d kill for glasses that auto-focus as readers. I wear contacts most of the time when outside, so maybe not such a savior for me.
Said it the day Broadcom bought them, they’re going to squeeze the smaller customers out. This behavior is by design.
Because they’re shitty little sites no one has ever heard of?

Whoop dee do. Yes, I’m sure the scum that were name dropped threw a couple of shillings in the pile.
And what kind of crazy revelations will come of this?! Well, maybe if something actually comes out, you’ll have your story.
Only in first-world countries did everyone have a phone and the Earth’s population was half what it is now.
Shenzen’s supply chain is hardly all on Apple’s behalf or behest.
Water is created and destroyed by biological and other natural processes. Here go photosynthesis:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Light → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
If it can handle a grass field, those are everywhere. OTOH, be cheaper and easier to fly a Cessna and spatter cars around at your destinations.
This is not a typical home or office printer, very specialized.
I will be there. I will be armed. I will carry a gas mask. I will carry water and medical for my compatriots. I will not start shit. I will fight back if it comes to it.
