In your attempt to piss on Russia, they claim you killed civilians. Piss should no longer be produced, it’s too dangerous.

Do you have just like a trillion gifs movies saved somewhere

We’re experiencing extremely high call volume.

Every hour of every day, because company won’t hire or pay for anything better.

Press 3 to have a representative call you back; You won’t lose your place in line.

Sure. Meanwhile, I get on their website and try their weird “chat” support popup, that somehow takes care of the problem hours before I ever get a call back.

This is why people hate phone support. And why I don’t trust and won’t buy products from companies who only have phone support (or “social media”, Facebook, Twixer). Give me a dedicated support email address, or something text-based (live chat, contact form) on website, thanks!

Yes. Just FYI: All three have free “freeze” option, hidden somewhere (probably thanks to federal law). They also have very similar paid option, which they heavily advertise; That’s not the one. They do all require free accounts, but probably worth it to be able to freeze/unfreeze instantly online.

I just received “dark web” alert about SSN, phone, name, and email… that I only used at AT&T many years ago. So AT&T has definitely leaked our data as well. Add 'em to the list…

In oil country, the land may be getting less stable. Korean Samsung (and planet Earth) vs Texan oil barons, I wonder who Texas will protect.

This president has acted like he was owned by the cartels since day one. Good luck to any peace he thought that would bring. Seems like a disaster for their future in the long-term.

Gov Abbott in Texas tried this desperate stunt in 2023. Only one state alone, but it was still a clusterfuck. Anyone relying on goods from Mexico got fucked (tons of things, but esp. perishables, grocery stores). Cost the state and businesses millions. He gave up pretty quickly, the pathetic little piss baby.

I happened upon it thanks to PBS Frontline at YouTube a while ago. https://youtu.be/gvAyykRvPBo I’m sure it captures only 1/1000 of the terror committed by Putin and his toy soldiers, and yet it should be more than enough. Glory to Ukraine.

Nicely done, that’s hilarious. The current state of “AI” is deeply embarrassing and massively over-hyped. Maybe a few trillion more dollars of funding will do the trick…

Being set in modern Florida cesspool is probably enough to keep me away. Extremely doubtful Rockstar will deliver anything like RDR2 again (lengthy SP narrative). Take Two already treats GTA like an online subscription and cash cow, I can’t imagine their monetization plans for the next one.

But now it’s been renamed YouTube Pay, and requires Premium subscription. ^/s

Exactly. Don’t have cheap web cams pointed inside the home, and it’ll be fine. Have them outside, watching doors and gates, providing security videos of shadows and wildlife, whatever. They can still be useful tools.

The special op is… just a bit slow, bless its heart.

What kills me is that just a couple morons can contaminate a large batch of recyclables, that could’ve otherwise been perfect. But I guess humanity will always have this sort of problem, until it kills us.

What a deal. Save 25%, get rid of the cancer that’s killing Tesla.

I’m amazed her team of lawyers haven’t filed a lawsuit yet. Just collecting evidence for now, I suppose. But it’s starting to pile up quickly.

Agreed. To be clear, I only meant this in the most insulting way to Apple, the proud engineers of $300 goggle straps and $1000 monitor stands.

Just extracting wealth from the cult fans and tech illiterate. And they will keep pushing the insane prices, until people stop paying (sounds familiar). I wish they’d use their absurd profits to actually bring to market something truly spectacular. Dyson makes more daring and innovative products, funded by vacuums, heh.

Perhaps true from his… perspective. I’ve found JXL surprisingly awesome and easy to use (size, quality, speed, intuitive encoding options with lossless, supported in XnView & XnConvert for easy batches). AVIF was terrible in real-world use last I tried (and blurs fine details).

I’m still a big Mozilla & Firefox fan, but a few decisions over past few years seem like they’re being dictated or vetoed by a few lofty individuals (while ignoring popular user requests). Sad.

I think of “thumb drives” as portable SSD with USB. “Portable backup drives” have taken its place for me. Incredibly fast (NVMe SSD + USB-C), quite small (M2 card size + case), durable (same as thumb drives), growing sizes (1-2 TB affordable).

I keep my old flash drives for smaller things like bootable apps, fresh OS installs, firmware updates. I definitely have no need for mystery off-brand storage though.
