Soo… Pretty much the majority of Americans except for the staunchest of conservatives.

The connector is flimsy, will wear out in applications where you connect and disconnect it often and the whole standard is controlled by big tech and they abuse that power to hinder open source efforts.

I mean it will happen one day. But until I see it on a more mainstream and reputable news source like the BBC I refuse to get my hopes up. When it is real that news will spread fast.

I believe the proper technical term is “Corporate self-dealing”. He will loot the entire country, causing trillions of dollars of damage just so he can pocket a few billions, leaving it in ruins, just like Lampert looted and destroyed the SEARS company.

Bankrupting several casinos wasn’t enough. Now he’s in the process of bankrupting the US.

We’ve seen it again and again. Trump’s modus operandi in “making a deal” is to find what he thinks is an easy target, makes unacceptabke demands, attacks and bullies it from the start and then acts all surprised when the target becomes heavily polarized against him and the US, refuses to make any kind of concessions and would rather continue taking damage fighting back in every way they can.

Usually at some point after that he TACOs and tries to spin it as a “victory”, leaving the US weakened on the international stage. Waiting for that to happen soon with Iran.

You have to be in visual range, or radar range if you have one, which is the horizon plus a bit more depending how high above sea level your are and how tall your target is.

If you’re on a ship, unless you’re using an advanced radar that bounces signals against the ionosphere or you have a meteorological phenomena called an inversion which can curve your radar energy over the horizon a little bit, your radar horizon is surprisingly short, something around 12 nautical miles give or take. And the sea is big and Iran is quite far.

This is one big reason why aircraft are used for surveillance at sea. They can go much higher than any ship’s radar antenna mast every could be which significantly expands their radar horizon. They can also scan a huge area relatively quickly as they can travel much faster.

Because if this fuck up, Iran now has the intel that the French carrier is approaching without even having to send an aircraft out to look for it. If they even still have the ability to do so at this point.

Once Trump is no longer in control I really hope that whoever inherits this mess will ensure these cronies who blatantly planned and are actively orchestrating the destruction of US democracy will be rounded up and prosecuted for what they’ve done.

Bin Laden’s threat to the US was a joke compared to what these people are doing and look at what happened to him.

But what if what your are looking for is AI generated articles that don’t provide any trustworthy answers or top 10 lists of products that their manufacturers paid the site to figure on the list? Google is still the best for that.

Hopefully this doesn’t give Microslop executives the idea of turning it into a feature to force their users to save their files onto OneDrive

Gas prices go brrrrrrr

Peaceful living as a smoldering skeleton

You forgot to mention that the product they’re sacrificing everything for is widely failing to meet expectations and that they will likely expect taxpayers to bail them out when their investments fail and threaten to take out the entire economy with themselves

The image reminds me of Super Greg for some reason

“America first! We don’t need anyone!”

IDK if I’m understanding their response correctly in the article but it really sounds like the people affected are left to pay for the repair themselves

That’s a big oof for a product like Fairphone. They dropped the ball hard too by not standing behind their fuckup and left their customers hanging. Fairphone just got off my list of potential new purchases.

This isn’t new. I remember seeing a promotion for this exact same printer many years ago already. I’d approach it with suspicion.

And yet the “I don’t care that they gather data on me, I have nothing to hide” crowd is still clueless

It is baffling that people hadn’t clued in about this sooner
