I’m so thankful the local halal place around the corner from my house is there… and gyro and fries is only like 9 USD. I commented to the owner about how cheap his food is; he said he’s seen a bit of an uptick in business over the summer and he thinks it’s because the chain places have gone mad with pricing.

I’m sure Apple will let everyone know that we’re just holding the phone wrong.

Ugh… just bought some new Bluetooth headphones and my god i wish they’d let these little chargers just die already.

Just switched to Linux for my daily driver laptop!

They’re kinda like the S-Pen… is it cool? Sure! Do I find myself using it? No, not really.

The white supremacists didn’t forget… they just thought the wrong side was winning.

It’s similar to the problem AMC had with the Pacer… revolutionary automotive design and in the first year it did amazing! Then, in the next two to three years, demand dropped like a rock. Seemed as though everyone that wanted a car which looked like really nothing else on the road had already bought one in the first year.

Republicans were in power when those planes hit the towers.

Haven’t read the article, but I’ll bet it was MS Teams.

Sorry.

I keep seeing this… folks really think we’re gonna get to vote again.

General Strike, general strike, general strike!

Let’s GOOOOOOOO!!!

All your need to do is drop in one card randomly with all the holes punched out to screw up those things… there was a name for doing that to be a dick but I forgot and am drunk right now so I don’t feel like looking it up.

Local news staffer here, usually we’re not given any of the circumstances in case like this, but even if we find out the “how” we don’t report it. It’s the same with suicides and murder/suicides… if we have to (celebrity, politicians, person’s of note) we report that it happened once and that’s it.

It is definitely to shield victims and families but it’s also to prevent copycats.

It definitely is a major omission.

Did he have an affair? I hadn’t heard about that… probably wasn’t a big deal and people likely didn’t blow it out of proportion.

obviously /s

From what I’m given to understand of my state’s laws, this would be covered under the same kind of thing as the surveillance cameras at a convenience store or shopping center parking lot and the expectations a person would have for their privacy… it just sucks.

Some are like six feet away and others are set farther back. It’s not all of the ring came 5 that go off. I know there’s a setting where the user can create a like a bounding box so that they don’t go off unless someone is actually at the door… these folks simply haven’t done that, don’t know to do that, or are watching the sidewalk intentionally. At any rate, my street doesn’t have much traffic so I usually just walk in the road.

Some of my neighbors have them and I hate walking down the street. I know it’s a public sidewalk, but hearing all the little pings and “some one is at the front door” it creeps me out. I live in a single party consent state so there’s not like anything I can do but now there’s a database with a record of when I go to/come back from work. I don’t like that. Thankfully, when signing the lease, my landlord forbid in the contact the installation on those. He also owns the houses on either side of mine… a little strip of privacy in a sea of surveillance.
