- Comment on First Porn, Now Skin Cream? ‘Age Verification’ Bills Are Out of Control. 2 weeks ago:
Just more excuses to track you.
- Comment on SpaceX Starship blows up twice in a row. 2 weeks ago:
I wonder if Elon has driven off a good chunk of his quality SpaceX employees yet?
- Comment on Apple has 90 days to allow app sideloading in Brazil 2 weeks ago:
Governments are aiming for the wrong problem. Instead of pushing for alternate stores or side loading apps, they should be forcing manufacturers to open their devices to alternative OSes.
Don’t like the Apple App Store? Install Linux on your iPhone. Or Android. Or maybe even Windows Phone (if MS was smart enough to jump at the opportunity).
- Comment on UK quietly scrubs encryption advice from government websites 2 weeks ago:
Yes UK. Make it easier for your enemies and frenemies to hack into your data. I’m sure that will work out well.

- Comment on BMW’s new iDrive turns the whole windshield into a heads-up display 2 months ago:
A loooong time ago there was a car commercial about tech a company was working on where one of the features was an infra-red heads up display. At night you would see wildlife and other warm blooded animals (like humans) light up on your windshield. That way you could see if something or someone was about to cross in front of you from the side of the road. I wish someone would make that happen.
- Comment on Discovery Plus is raising its prices 2 months ago:
Check your cell provider for free tv benefits. Hulu is included for free with some accounts on t-mobile in the US for example. And Hulu carries Shogun.
- Comment on Discovery Plus is raising its prices 2 months ago:
😆 It wasn’t even worth paying for at the previous lower price.
- Comment on Frostpunk creators cancel "Project 8" and lay off staff amid concerns that "narrative-driven, story-rich games" don't sell 2 months ago:

I’m sure all three viewers of Peacock will be annoyed.

I am sure they will be overpriced compared to manufacturing costs, just like Crocs.
- Comment on Meta must face FTC trial that could separate Instagram and WhatsApp 4 months ago:
It will depend on if Zuck has done anything to kiss him off. If so he will probably give the FTC the go ahead. That’s how he operates. It’s not about what’s good for the country. It’s about quid pro quo.
- Comment on Meta must face FTC trial that could separate Instagram and WhatsApp 4 months ago:
They never should have let meta buy Instagram in the first place. 🤷♂️
- Comment on Max is getting ready for its own password-sharing crackdown 4 months ago:
Crack down all you want. I haven’t been subscribed since Last Of Us season 1 ended. The more you jack up the prices and other shit like this, the less likely I am to subscribe.
- Comment on Microsoft Rewards offers $1 million grand prize in latest sweepstakes to users of Bing, Edge 4 months ago:
Is this like an Elon “sweepstakes” where the winners are predetermined and not chosen at random? In mean I have to check to see if this is worth my time now that the courts have redefined what a sweepstakes is.
- Comment on Humane recalls the AI Pin’s charging case due to overheating concerns 4 months ago:
How is this company not out of business yet?
- Comment on Disney Plus and Hulu won’t let you sign up through Apple anymore 5 months ago:
It’s not really a closed garden when you can subscribe to the service from outside the app store and it still works.
I’m guessing this change was made because tv channel purchases made through AppleTV are subject to “family plan” sharing rules. I seriously doubt that this is about the 15% to 30% convenience fee Apple charges the provider.
- Comment on The Internet Archive’s Fight to Save Itself 5 months ago:
Google just started pointing search results to the archive instead of their own cache. I would hope Google would be donating some supportive money to the archive as a goodwill gesture.

Lol. Good luck with that.
- Comment on Google is purging ‘low-quality’ Android apps next month 8 months ago:
