No one's mentioned the privacy nightmare that new vehicles are. Why anyone would pay $45k for a vehicle that spies on you for the sole benefit of car manufacturers and insurance companies is beyond me. Do away with all the unnecessary privacy violations, or pay ME a monthly subscription for MY data.

So like half a tic tac and a stick of bubblegum. Got it

I can't be the only one who thinks "ROG Xbox Ally X" is a really stupid name.

I have a handful of tankie capitalism and "democracy" loving, American "traditional" leaning and religious Republican coworkers who absolutely still believe that he's a genius. They feel that way about other billionaires too.

Edit: TIL that "tankie" doesn't mean "capitalism and 'democracy' loving, American 'traditional' leaning and religious Republicans." I guess the shorthand for that is just "stereotypical conservative."

Reading this literally made me feel a little queasy.

Because my employer garnished my wages to pay taxes, and if I dont file my taxes, the federal will keep my refund.

It's absolutely no different! The TV is doing something weird to get around it, or these ads are just cached from earlier. I'm not sure yet. Good news is that the ad blockers definitely works, we're getting 96/100 on https://adblock-tester.com/

They're referring to the white buildup that happens from the aluminum in antiperspirant. Deodorant without aluminum (and therefore not an antiperspirant) won't give this buildup.

I transferred to a new college and learned the first week of class that they required a few vaccinations I was missing. No problem, the on campus health center can provide them. I confirm with them that they accept my insurance, so I go get the shots.

A few months later, I get a bill in the mail for over $3000. Apparently the health center wasn't in-network, so I have no idea what they meant by "we accept your insurance." I layer learned that if I had driven 10 minutes west across the state border, there was an in-network office where those two vaccinations would've been completely covered.

I still haven't paid a penny towards that bill, fuck them. I get daily phone calls from an unknown number, it's probably collections, but I don't know for sure since I never answer it. This was years ago and my credit score never took a hit. I'd rather die than reward these parasites with my money.

I'm pretty sure I have a tumor growing on my hip too. I'd get it checked, but between student loans, insane cost of living, and rising costs of literally everything else, I can't afford to right now. I'm a childless engineer with "great" health insurance and a roommate, so I'm relatively well off. I have no idea why shit hasn't boiled over yet. Makes me want to depose some CEOs too.

If you have basic soldering skills and care enough to do this, the mouse buttons can be replaced for less than a dollar each. Not that this excuses Logitech's poor QA, but my g502 g305 will last damn near forever if I keep replacing the switches like I have been.

I'm more disappointed that this is "news" than anything else

Awfully reminiscent of the trouble the NASDAP had trying to draw the line between Jews and non-Jews. It made them look like fucking idiots, and I hope to hell history treats the GOP the same way.

Yeah I guess the superbowl is soon, there's another row of football ads one or two rows up. I'll remind myself that I paid for the TV, the electricity to run it, and the bandwidth to connect it, yet I'm still shown full screen ads first thing when I turn my TV on. And I don't even watch football. And I can't disable it.

Corporate America and gargle my balls

Microsoft could literally make "gargle the balls of Bill Gates" a login requirement and the masses would still use Windows.

A setup with one monitor and a computer with a 5090 will draw about 1 kW under load. That's 7 kWh per week if the average is 1 hour a day.

So that's about:

• 233k Google searches
• 20k GPT 4o queries
• 175 GPT 5 queries

Yep, that's why birdshot is basically the only safe ammo that can be shot into the air unless you're in the middle of the ocean or something.

If you have an Amazon Echo (or whatever they call it) in your home, then you already pay them by letting it spy on you, your family, and any guests that come over. Even if they improved the service (they won't), why would you pay $20 or $30 a year for it?

I'm an absolute Linux tard, so it's hilarious to me trying to read and understand most of these comments

Literally in the article brief and in the second paragraph: "Electronics manufactures must from Saturday fit all devices sold in the EU with USB-C charger ports..."

This is Figaro.
