You already know the answer to that one lol

Honestly, that's pretty close to what could've been if the Right to Repair act for cars didn't pass back when it did.

Lol, I love that article. The author clearly also thinks that Taylor and her goons are full of shit on this one. Like, it's public information provided by the FAA. Will they sue the FAA then?

Awesome when humans litter and then go "Nah, too expensive to clean up..."

Yeeah, so, don't most restaurants just throw out the uneaten food nowadays, out of concern for getting sued over hygiene issues?

What if, and hear me out on this one, the problem isn't which "-ism" is prevalent. The real problem is that ANY form of power or society needs checks and balances. If those are missing or not enforced, then everything goes to shit. It's a balancing act, not just a matter of black or white.

Damn, 120 years in total

Damn, that's pretty cool. I myself hunt down zombies in my free time.

In other news: Reports of malware on home users' PCs spike in North Carolina and Montana.

Wow, this really says a lot about S O C I E T Y

I know! It's like some people are looking at this and just see a piece of meat!

I think Baldur's Gate 3 exceeded expectations for many people.

Yep, that's him. For those who still don't get it: He's the CEO of Epic Games who are also the developers of Unreal Engine.

Isn't that essentially what it is? Getting something for free through certain means you wouldn't get for free otherwise? Which means no money goes to whoever owns the service you're using?

Because they're a small company producing a niche product, so the scale they produce on is way smaller too. They also don't have a huge B2B branch to cover their other costs with, like HP, for example.

And it is actually sometimes more expensive to make something modular than not, just in manpower and testing alone, not even considering RnD and manufacturing. Also, they make less money in repairs or new devices, if the users can just easily repair the device themselves.

So unless they manage to stay in the business for a while and grow their customer base by quite a big amount, their prices will most likely stay the same. Personally I think that they're on a good path to getting there eventually.

There are no women on the internet. Men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents.

A lot of it is because Amazon is known for stealing designs from innovative, small companies and running them out of business to sell their stolen designs under the Amazon Basics brand. Usually they do so by decreasing the quality of materials and relying on their own supply chain to keep prices low.

Edit: Also found this Youtube video by Peak Design, who are very well known for their high quality gear. It's about Amazon ripping off their sling bag design.

We should also hold their fans accountable for being mindless assholes. If some guy I watch on the internet tells me that he got a bad review, my first thought is not "I should send death threats to this reviewer". Like, that's not how a normal, semi well adjusted person behaves!

It's not even funny how many people still equate "having sex" with something everyone has to do AT LEAST ONCE before they're 18. That's a super dangerous mindset.

Ukraine and Taiwan need the help. But does Israel?
