Hey now, they care so much about protecting children that they’ll cover them in body armour and send them in big groups to far away lands (to keep them safe from domestic terrorism ofc)!

Functionally it may be different, but if I’m sat at a table with another user, next to a criminal gun salesman and their customer, the salesman passes me a gun, and I pass the gun to the other user, who then passes it to the customer, am I not just as guilty of facilitating that illegal exchange?

I understand that one could try to make that argument aimed at an ISP or internet infrastructure in general, but in this case the added element is that we are individuals, we know people are often using these services for illicit means, and we still choose to facilitate their use.

Honestly I don’t know if I agree with my own argument 100%, but it’s something someone could argue, and it’s worth some thought before deciding to become a part of that shadowy community. Especially knowing there’s a good chance at some point you’re a willing link in the chain for criminal activity, even if it probably can’t be traced back to you.

Hmm, food for thought I suppose.

Finally, the one thing missing from our modern day sci-fi Star Trek future was a Self Destruct built in to all our vehicles!

If it has a MicroSD slot, 3.5mm jack, a removable battery and costs no more than £300, I’m interested! <3

I’d rather it were made in Europe too, but I understand we can’t have everything, supply chains being what they are.

P.S Bonus points if it has an IR blaster, I use the one on my current phone quite a lot, surprisingly enough!

Gambling. Call it gambling.

Trying to whitewash it as “Prediction Markets” so it doesn’t sound scummy, addictive, damaging and horrible is really annoying.

There is a market for predicting outcomes of things and waging money against those predictions, yes. We call it Gambling.

Motorola has been kinda crap for years now, not supporting their android phones with updates, etc.

Hopefully this is a new leaf for them.

Isn’t Lenovo that dodgy company that did the China stuff though? Hopefully they’ve been bought by someone else since then.

Is anybody acting like this is new? Shops relabel stuff with price changes regularly, this just makes it quicker and easier - staff don’t have to run around for a hour with a price gun and a bunch of shelf labels any more.

Improving how we display prices isn’t the issue, that’s a good move, it’s how prices are decided that are the problem.

Thank you for censoring the word cocaine.

Imagine if my innocent eyes had been subjected to such forbidden words, mother would be furious!

Every penny given to a US company is bankrolling their government through taxes, and thus funding authoritarianism.

OpenAI has direct government contracts sure, but yeah.

I agree it sucks.

Ooh, I loved Grimrock! I wish it had gotten more success and exposure, but at least we got a sequel :-)

Oof, unsupported walls in holes can kill you extremely fast. I’d never go into a hole deeper than my waist without shoring (even then, ehhhh).

Stay safe!

I’m sure Linux is great with headphones too, but is there really a widespread issue with them in Windows?

Obviously it’s not difficult to “recognise” a headset plugged into the 3.5mm jack, so I’m presuming the author means Bluetooth.

In general, I’ve been very impressed with the improved audio system and controls between Win10 & 11, it needed a big upgrade and we got it. Similarly, Bluetooth UI and ease of use has shot up too. The old Bluetooth UI was awful.

I use various Bluetooth audio devices daily, as well as 3.5mm audio stuff, and have various needs for routing and altering audio with virtual audio cables, etc, and it all works flawlessly for me.

I’m just one person though, not really a great sample size!

Anyway, I’m surprised to hear there’s a widespread issue with Bluetooth audio in Windows 11, given how standardised and widely used everything is these days. You’d think that’d be ironed out reasonably quickly, lest hundreds of millions of people struggle :-(

This is a great service to offer free of charge, a properly fitting bra can be a life changer!

Do people use something else to juice citrus fruits now?

I still use one of these, can’t imagine another design that would be better?

Download Accelerator Plus, my beloved 🥰

So like, bringing back shoulder braces? That’s the only historic but now unpopular way I can think of shackling my pants to my top. Hmmm, I do think braces look cool…

I’m the smortest! I know how to do things

Which planet do we owe the money to?

Who is this missing person with the pacemaker, and how is covering what’s happening to her helping Nazis?

If it’s the elderly woman in the photo, and if she’s missing (trying to locate her heart makes it seem so), should word not be spread via the news, in case someone might have some information as to her location, etc?

Or is the elderly woman a Nazi and you’d rather she not be found?

Break fast and move things!
