350,000 people in the U.S. died of COVID in 2020. For reference, 25,000 died of the flu in 2019. Out of nowhere, Covid became the third leading cause of death.
Any respectable news source tends to report on things like that.
Those saying that Covid was “just the flu,” or “not a big deal,” is delusional.
It’s been raining more than average here… So yeah. Same difference?
Sonos sucks.
I bought their products because at the time there wasn’t much else in the Wi-Fi speaker market. It worked well enough. Then their app (the only way to connect to them) got worse and worse. Some days the speakers just wouldn’t work. Others the app couldn’t find them. I’ve had to reset the entire system many times, which for some insane reason takes like an hour and doesn’t always work.
Want to change which network the speakers are on? Good luck. You would think you just select the network and type in a password like every other app in the world, but no, it’s a nightmare. After hours of factory resets and physically connecting the speakers to my router, my speakers are sometimes on one of my two networks, sometimes on the other, and sometimes unable to be found.
If you’re considering buying Sonos, look at their play store reviews.
Fuck Sonos.
So, this guy had a gun on him, and saw someone else with a gun… And thought person with a gun, danger!?
What an asshole.
Nothing snapped. He has always been a piece of shit. He’s been a liar, cheat, rapist, fraud, moron, and a piss poor businessman his entire life. There are no shortage of stories backed by very real evidence. Much of it is on video. The difference is that now it’s out in the open, and for some reason that appeals to fellow idiots and racists.
The real story is how broken our education and legal systems are. I knew there were problems, but it’s so much worse than I could have imagined.
He probably sold it for $30 million
My guess would be the PSU as well. It could be dead, or not plugged in right, or underpowered. Pulling out the GPU is a great idea. At least if it boots that provides some direction.
How about banning them entirely.
I have a friend who bought one 6 years ago. He paid like $6k for the feature and recently traded in for a new one because he could keep the self driving license for free.
He says it never really worked that week and is worse on the new vehicle because cheapskate switched from lidar to cameras to save money. Also, he has 3 of 5 “strikes” toward a ban, because your need to keep you have on the wheel and eyes on the road. That’s right, a creepy camera watches you. He says at least 2 are false positives.
Not exactly “Full self driving,” and Tesla doesn’t exactly look like they’ve been working on it
I have no idea why people still buy anything from Musk.
That’s what I don’t understand. Don’t like Biden? I get that. Undying loyalty to Trump? What? Why? Just listen to him speak. He’s an incoherent idiot.
I dunno, but the dude dated a 17 year old highschool girl when he was 38. That’s gross enough that any school should stay away from him.
Dude is a lying, treasonous, rapist, but per snopes he surprisingly has attended all of his children’s graduation ceremonies.
"customers’ real-time location information, revealing where they go and who they are.”
All of them did it. That either means collusion or they’re all evil and bold enough to do this despite the risk. Either way, this was not an accidental slip up or a hack. Jail time and a crippling fine is the solution. This is neither.
I have a malamute, so similar antics. It’s cute- except at 6am for breakfast… and two hours before dinner time…and when it’s time for a walk even when it’s -10 outside.
Not for everyone. But I wouldn’t trade it.
I mean, the rich probably benefit either way… But I’ve definitely seen times get scarier for the rest of us. So…I care.
Messages went from $.05, to $.10, to $.20 to send and receive. That was in the span of three years. All of the companies said it wasn’t collision. They just happened to arrive upon massive increases separately.
If I recall, one of the CEOs said “We’re raising the prices to save customers money. This way they’ll be an unlimited plan”
The telcos should have been broken up then. Instead we’ve seen even more mergers.
I didn’t count handhelds. Seems like a different-ish market. Interestingly, I thought the game gear was way better than original game boy… Except it absolutely ate batteries.
I’ve never heard of the N64 DD. The 90’s had so many weird consoles.
Seconded.
Dreamcast was solid. Decent games. Sega just had their collective heads up their assess. No one had confidence in their consoles. Genesis was a surprise smash hit…then Sega just spewed out consoles; 32x, Sega CD, mega drive, Saturn… Probably more. In that same time span Nintendo released…N64.
No one wants to buy a console that is outdated in a year or two. That game library is tiny and none of your friends have it.
Build a winner, milk it. Release another winner right as the previous one is winding down. Nintendo has mastered that formula.
It needs to be law that all public officials release their tax records…Also no stock holdings.
Ah yes. Louisiana, the beacon of education, progress, and economic success. Let us follow their lead to prosperity and health.
