DuckDuckGo Is Selling Anti Pervert Glasses That Contain Zero AI, Cameras, or Even Electronics Whatsoever
So it’s not anti-pervert then. It’s just non-pervert.
Anti-pervert would be something like sunglasses that zap the pervert sunglasses' cameras with lasers and damage the sensor. Maybe they don’t have to be so accurate.

Americans are getting new trains
I love the concept of the acela and I have always wanted to ride it but anytime I try to book a ride a few things always put me off.
It takes 4 hours and a half tank of gas (~$35) to take me and my family to New York City. So there’s literally no reason for me to pay hundreds of dollars to take the train. We usually just park up in a garage in the city and use the subway once we get there and even that ends up being just a fraction of the cost of taking the acela.

The big three US automakers' global market share fell from 29% to 13% since 2000
Yea because they’re spoiled. Every time they are doing poorly, instead of having to do better to keep themselves running they just get a big helping of taxpayer money from the government.

This isn’t necessarily true. Even back then the streets were filled with shitbox cars that all looked the same. But only the cars that were beautiful and unique are still remembered and the rest are forgotten

You must have a strong opinion on which of these is superior to post here.

TIL about the Nikon F
I have an F3 which was 2 generations after the F. It is hands down, the best looking, the best feeling and the best sounding camera I have.
The camera was so successful it was in production for 20 years from 1980 - 2000. That kind of a run is unheard of in today’s tech environment. In fact, it’s successor, the F4, was released while the F3 was still being sold (1988) and was discontinued (1997) before the F3.
If you’re interested in this stuff this website is a treasure trove of information: https://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/htmls/models/htmls/slrmain5979.htm

General Motors: Chevy, Cadillac, GMC etc. Chrysler: Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram etc.
Although Chrysler is now owned by some group called Stellantis which also own Fiat.

I was able to do this to my VW by using a OBD2 dongle to set the auto-start-stop battery voltage threshold higher so that it always thinks the battery is low and the engine needs to keep running.

When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private
But even if this tax was reduced or went away, what’s stopping the airlines from hiking up the price by that amount? Airlines are looking for any excuse to squeeze out more money from you. In that case you’d just be funding the airline execs’ private flights.

I found the comment section of this video incredibly sus. Everyone speaks perfect english and has only the highest of praises. Quite a few were even “in tears” while watching the video.

Hey listen bucko, I have to go into large data centers once every few days and those places already creep me out. So I would really appreciate it if you stopped putting imagery like this into my head.

If you ignore all the nice neon and look at just the cars all you see are a bunch of similar looking cars. They all look like a Chevy Bel-Air to me. Now I am sure a 50s car enthusiasts would be able to name them all, but to your average person there aren’t any significant differences.
This is the same for cars today as well. Maybe 60 years in the future people will reminisce about the good old days of the Mazda Miata, Shelby Mustang, or Toyota Supra without realizing that these cars were few and far between and the streets were actually just filled with cheap Toyotas and Kias and Nissan Altimas.

Why Smart TVs Track What You Watch
I use a 48in LG OLED as a monitor that was pretty cheap for how good it is. Being a monitor it never had an internet connection. So at least I got a good deal (at the expense of others’ data).
