- Comment on Data brokers may be banned from selling your social security number 3 weeks ago:
But some government agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the FBI also rely on data brokers to get around surveillance restrictions.
Well, exclude those agencies. Obviously.
The best time protect personal data was 20 years ago. Why is someone just now thinking of this?

What the hell is with the autoplay video?
Annoying as hell. - Comment on FCC chairwoman announces departure, paving way for Republican majority 5 weeks ago:
Rosenworcel, a Democrat, is following tradition, as the FCC chair typically resigns when the opposing party wins the White House. The move will leave the FCC with two Democrats and two Republicans, paving the way for the GOP to add one member and gain a 3–2 majority.
Orrrrrr, and hear me out. Or, don’t just automatically give them a 3-2 advantage!
Ok fine. What could go wrong?Carr would eliminate (net neutrality) rules even if they survive the challenge. He’s also made it clear he will reverse other consumer protection initiatives started by Rosenworcel, such as an inquiry that could have resulted in regulation of data caps.
Goddammit
- Comment on Microsoft pushes full-screen ads for Copilot+ PCs on Windows 10 users 5 weeks ago:
Im guessing if your pc isn’t good enough to fully run the program it would be slow as shit or something, and people would have a bad impression of it.
So, you know, lets plaster ads for it all your computer instead. That’ll make a great impression!
- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 1 month ago:
I was in a 2024 Cherokee and it was insanely frustrating trying to get the window to where I wanted it.
It also looks absolutely nothing like a Jeep Cherokee.
- Comment on Hori’s officially licensed Steam controller is coming to the US 1 month ago:
Ah ok. That’s slick.
I wish steam would recognize all the buttons on my gamepad like that. - Comment on Hori’s officially licensed Steam controller is coming to the US 1 month ago:
I’ve never seen a steam profile with back paddles before. What game has it?
- Comment on Hori’s officially licensed Steam controller is coming to the US 1 month ago:
Paddles on the back have been around for awhile.
- Comment on Hori’s officially licensed Steam controller is coming to the US 1 month ago:
Those are the back pedals.
- Comment on Hori’s officially licensed Steam controller is coming to the US 1 month ago:
Both the back paddles and gyro are things that are great, and every gamepad should have them, but there’s almost no compatibility with anything on PC.
Most I’ve ever seen is being able to change a button to a back paddle. Not even remapping a key, just a face or shoulder button. I swap it with the stock press buttons. But it’d be great to be able to actually remap keys.
- Comment on Hori’s officially licensed Steam controller is coming to the US 1 month ago:
$60 is a lot for two extra buttons and no vibration. Gyro is nice if it actually works with games though.
- Comment on Tech billionaire Elon Musk’s social media posts have had a ‘sudden boost’ since July, new research reveals. 1 month ago:
On one hand is obvious. On the other hand it’s good to point it out for the people that aren’t paying attention.
There’s a fine line between the two. You see this a lot in all of those scientific studies that you read about and think “well, yeah obviously”. It’s good to have proof.

- Comment on Google Will Track Your Location ‘Every 15 Minutes’—‘Even With GPS Disabled’ 2 months ago:
I was watching a video about a kid that killed his mother. The cops were detailing how they caught him being somewhere else than what he stated.
They weren’t able to track his phone itself, because he had it turned off most of the time. But when he did turn it on they got the ping from nearby cell towers, and then they looked at highway cameras in that area. They were able to ID his license plate that way.
Basically they just ran searches for his phone, and then ran a search for his plates.
All of that data is already collected, all they need to do is “Google” it. Pretty interesting imo. A little scary too.
