Comcast advertising “10G” in hopes to confuse consumers to accept slower speeds
Xfinity’s 10G network is technically slower than 5G. Peak theoretical throughput on an uncongested 5G network offers up to 20Gbps download and 10Gbps upload. Xfinity caps out at 10Gbps down and up.
In what world are people getting that kind of speed on 5G? In like a lab with perfect conditions and non-consumer equipment? Is this article written by T-Mobile home internet or something? I'll take Comcast 10G over 5G wireless any day and I hate Comcast.
I automatically assumed 10G was short for 10Gb/s, so I guess I found nothing confusing about the name? They literally are advertising the speed in the name, I think that's great compared to when they called shit "Blast" and other weird names.

With The 745-mile Solid-state Battery, Toyota Just Became A Force To Reckon With
the first vehicles with this battery are expected to be hybrids instead of all-electric vehicles. Toyota claims it will be ready for sale in 2027 or 2028.
This tells me we probably need to wait until 2030+ for this supposed 745mile battery.

Actor Paul Reubens, of PeeWee Herman fame, dead at 70
Man either the guy really thought he was going to beat this or he just needed a reason to hang on: "...he recently penned the first draft of his upcoming memoir. He had also put the finishing touches on two more Pee-wee movie scripts and was developing projects for television, including a variety show and a western called Fancypants."
Shame those won't see the light of day, at least not with his further involvement of course. That sounds like a ton of work. Source: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/paul-reubens-best-known-pee-170902189.html

Reddit revamps gold system with opportunities to earn real money for posts
Reddit's post was distinctly non-specific about the dollar amounts people can expect to see
Lol, so basically "we might give you money if we feel like it".

Tipping 'nudges' are now popping up on DoorDash. If you don't leave a gratuity, you'll hear about it.
The fact I'm getting asked to leave a tip before the service is rendered is what drives me really nuts. I've tipped on things and got terrible service and there is no way to adjust your tip down (and it can even be hard to increase it if they really do go above and beyond in some way).

Yeah this is where taxing these negative externalities would help to curb the demand of wasteful products and thus lower waste produced by corporations.
We can't expect corporations to just do the right thing out of the goodness of their hearts, because the products would cost more and the masses would just purchase the cheaper more waste producing products. We need to level the playing field by taxing pollution and waste.

I assume you are running a ROM hack of some kind, because pretty sure Blue doesn't look that colorful on the GBC?

Doom Studio id Software is Seemingly Working on new Version of its Game Engine - id Tech 8
It's a shame we have only gotten 1 game on id Tech 7 (Doom Eternal). I know it's a highly specialized engine, but I'd love to see more FPS titles using it or this new version (Wolfenstein 3 please)

More Than 80 Percent Of Americans Can’t Afford New Cars
*Can't afford to buy a $48K car
There are still sedans out there that can be gotten for a lot less, people have really been over spending on these large SUVs to make the average price $48K. Get a ~$30K sedan instead, you can get a Honda Civic for under $30K or a number of other cars.
Now obviously that's still out of reach for a ton of people, but it just seems weird to say "can't afford a new car" and then picking something for $48K.

Question is who is just throwing $2 at comments? Should users just cut out the middleman and post their Venmo/Patreon handles or something?
If the app stores take a 30% cut then they are making 60cents off the $2 and Reddit takes in 40¢ while the user gets $1.
Just pay me the dollar directly, be sure to upvote, comment below and subscribe for more comments like this.
