New York pizza culture is a cult. Tired of people acting like it’s something handed down by a God. NY style pizza is honestly pretty mid in the grand scheme. It’s a generic American pizza style originally created in the early 1900s and largely became popular because it was affordable leading into and coming out of The Great Depression.
What about the GDP, did you think about the GDP?
Money actually moving around the economy grows the GDP. Money accumulating at the top actually slows economic expansion.
Yeah that’s what deserts do.
But Phoenix isn’t a desert anymore, it’s a big concrete pad that works just like any rock you put into a hot space… it absorbs heat through the day then radiates it back out once the sun is down. They replaced the desert but didn’t leave holes for it to still work the same.
Yeah Tucson has a lot of blank spaces spread throughout the city when you actually get down to the street level. Lots of open areas for the heat to be absorbed by the earth rather than just getting trapped in concrete and asphalt everywhere.
Ah yes, by… 3 months. After over a decade of no support.
Eventually. Maybe sooner than we think.
Phoenix has been insisting there’s 100+ years of water under the mountains, etc. for decades. But every time there’s been any sort of effort to verify, it gets killed either by the government or courts on various ways.
Phoenix also loves to concrete over absolutely every open area, removing natural heat sinks into the ground. It’s one of the big reasons the Phoenix area is as hot as it is and maintains that heat overnight instead of actually cooling a bit like other cities in the Sonoran Desert region.
It very much is on some TVs. While there are apps in the corresponding store for Roku, WebOS, Android TV, and Xbox, that still leaves out Playstation and Samsung for instance. Samsung has more than 50% marketshare of premium TVs.
While you can install an app by jumping through hoops, it’s not an easy one click install which is what average users need. You can install a Jellyfin server by clicking next a bunch of times. You can get your media there by dragging and dropping it into the media folder. You can install the TV app on most TVs just as easily, but for Samsung you need to do all sorts of extra steps.
A quick Google does give step by step instructions on reddit for instance… but it requires users to download a specific version of Tizen Studio with the CLI (which most people are scared of, they need a GUI to use their devices). They need to connect to their TV remotely via that tool. They need to generate and install security certificates. They need to get specific versions of the Tizen Jellyfin app, that aren’t managed by the Jellyfin team, from a random Github. Then rename those files to extract them, inject their certificate, rebuild the package, and send it to the TV remotely… all in the CLI.
That is WAYYYYYY too complicated for the average person. Even with the step by step instructions, people skip steps and skim things without even thinking about it. Most people can barely click next a bunch of times to install things without messing it up somehow. Anyone who’s ever worked support can tell you that. My parents and probably half my friends would NEVER be able to follow those instructions without messing it up to connect to my server. And that even assumes they have a PC to run the software in the first place, many people no longer have a PC, they just have their phone and maybe a tablet.
On the other hand, Plex has an app in the Tizen store. Emby, which Jellyfin was forked from, also has a Tizen app in the store. Those people can just go and click install and they’re done.
This feels like a very clearly overly broad request easily challenged in any sane court. Whether that matters anymore is questionable.
I’ve said this for years.
The bullshit justification for these cockroach companies is always about fiduciary responsibility to shareholders.
Shareholders need to start suing these companies for failing their fiduciary responsibilities by allowing strikes like this. The strikes are never surprising. They’re always obvious and the result is as well. All it does is cost millions/billions of dollars and is completely avoidable. How that doesn’t inherently fail the fiduciary responsibility is baffling to me.
Well of course. Republican naming schemes are to call something the exact opposite of what it is. Across the board. Doesn’t matter if it’s something they’re trying to pass or something they are against.
If you hear them talking about something you can safely assume it’s the exact opposite of reality.
100% chance he took this as an opportunity to actually get the money Trump hasn’t paid him previously. And I can’t really fault him much for that honestly.
Someone was going to get paid for this stupid shit, might as well be someone who’s been fucked over in the past to try and make them whole.
That would require the DOJ to not be political, and they very definitely are nowhere near that point anymore.
The Judicial needs their own enforcement arm. Once we’re through this (one way or another) the US Marshall’s Service should be moved under the Judicial Branch to enforce Judicial Decisions instead of relying on the Executive Branch.
Do you think they’ll ever realize that there are so many poor people that can’t afford anything anymore because those same companies have spent 60+ years ensuring wages stay exactly where they were while prices increased?
I doubt it. It’s clear that to be a CEO you need to have zero problem solving skills, just social connections and rich parents (usually). It’s the rest of the management team below the C-Suite that has does the thinking. Then middle manglement fucks up implementing it to try and get noticed for a promotion from their dead-end position because they aren’t a part of the rich club already.
Oh the things I could rant on about Android Automotive, and about legacy automakers integrating “smart” things poorly.
Part of this is another well deserved rant against GM for not putting Android Auto on their cars. That’s something that other manufacturers do and I suppose in that case it actually would work well. I don’t know.
If you want to be even more unreasonably angered about this… I currently drive a Honda Prologue, which uses GM’s Ultima EV platform. The Play Store even shows the car “device” as a “GM Aegean”. It supports Android Auto. Even puts it in the little app window as if the system wasn’t already running Android Automotive. Regular Android Auto just like on any other vehicle… inside Android Automotive. They could do it, they chose not to.
Half of the modern world is reliant on petroleum based products. Gasoline and Diesel are about 70% of modern crude oil usage, but that remaining 30% is everywhere.
Several vehicle infotainment systems literally run Android. Android Automotive is an entire branch dedicated to being an entire vehicle infotainment system… separate from Android Auto on your phone.
Yeah the real question is why the backup software companies are choosing to use a known vulnerable kernel driver.
The quote from the article:
I reached out to Microsoft for a statement and a spokesperson proviued the following: “In the April 2026 Windows security update, we added known vulnerable kernel driver psmounterex.sys to the Vulnerable Driver Blocklist. Backup applications that rely on this driver may experience failures when attempting to mount or manage disk images. We do not recommend uninstalling or pausing this update. Customers with an impacted driver should install the latest application versions and validate against the driver blocklist to remain protected. For more information, please see here.”

Programmers / Engineers: The most recent piece of technology I own is a printer from 2004 and I keep a loaded gun ready to shoot it if it ever makes an unexpected noise.

Have you even seen Altoona-style pizza? Made widely famous thanks to it being where Luigi was arrested. Sicilian-style pizza dough, tomato sauce, green bell pepper, salami, topped with American cheese and cut into squares. That’s an abomination.
