The Roku box was one of the good ones… about ten years ago. Though maybe this is just a TV thing. TIL Roku makes actual screens.

In the past few years especially, I’ve seen so many unshakable “good ones” go bad. Some, in the worst possible way.

A part of me thinks he knows what he’s doing.

Oil rig drillers?

Buy a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and install McAfee on it. What could possibly go wrong?

Say it ain’t so!

The resulting lights display is great, but the carbon footprint and the bad blood between neighbors is not.

My personal favorite is the Christmas decoration wars.

Calling the stage units prototypes is being nice. The reality was that at that point the iPhone had barely gotten to a proof of concept stage. Months before this event, the developers were still using a giant desktop tower to simulate the phone’s hardware.

That the photos of the phone were real and not concept art, that the stage units weren’t just unusable rubber dummies was a magic trick itself.

When the developers revealed years later that the iPhone presentation (just the presentation, not even the actual launch) was a make or break moment for the company, they absolutely were not kidding.

And then they went from “should not even be working” test units to fully functional production units in six months!

Whatever your opinion of Jobs or Apple, credit where credit is due.

One of the best lines from Armageddon:

“Sir, the override. It’s been overridden.”

Welp, the Yahoo! link is dead now.

Based on what you copied, I guess he communicated in some way with the police but it doesn’t say what the police did in response.

Like I said, it feels so intentionally vague. For whatever reason, they don’t want this case or the fate of the man to be reported on for now.

I still don’t think he was trying to make kids take drugs or hurt anyone like the two in OP’s report.
