Whoever curates the Edge homepage knows they have mere seconds to capture a new recruit before they manage to escape to a different browser. Their jobs depend on the amount of bait they can dump in one window.

I'm currently reading a book on a local mafia boss, and the best the church could do, when he was finally popped, was refuse to host his funeral.

>> The US is one of the few (arguably the only) countries holding the barbarians at the gate

>This has to be a joke. There is no way anyone on this planet is so deluded and misinformed.

No kidding. Donald Trump just opened the gate.

So we've upgraded from the simple switch, that's good.

Now I'm imagining drivers swapping tubes as they stop for a quick charge.

With a peptide chaser.

Nothing tops the middle-aged man I spotted in the iphone 3g days, sporting his on his belt, screen out and always on to show off the fact that he had all the apps.

Apple doesn't even have to pay them, just give them a chance to feel special with a new palette of colours. Who really thought they'd be unique for choosing the orange phone?

Properly funded public education.

I still love my 5800X3D. Drop-in upgrade from a 3700X so I kept my board, RAM, cooler, everything.

Luckily, for the bean counters, the dead can't speak.

I've yet to find a more suitable use for a tablet. Maybe the whole device class is cooked.

I installed some HP slide-out rackmount keyboard/monitor units that used these as the host connection. This was back in the days when PS/2 was still around so they usually weren't used.

Canada. No gated suburb necessary, just a walkable neighbourhood.

The marketing kool-aid must flow. Many other earbuds have swipe volume, but because they aren't open-ear Apple gets to claim this amazing breakthrough.

Yeah about that, 16 is indeed far too young but it's somehow what has been agreed upon, no doubt whole-heartedly by the automotive industry.

Where I live they are dismissed on their own as young as 8, and so long as they have a safe way home then a couple hours alone isn't going to hurt. There are enough electronic distractions at home now that they won't turn to delinquency.

15 is bonkers. There should be no need to keep your teenager on-leash for that long.

It's counter-culture and I'm here for it. I had a fun convo with my daughter about why rail cars are so frequently tagged. More fascinating are the hidden pieces in tunnels and the like, where only few people will ever see it.

Are you trying to conflate wildlife tracking and monitoring with this police state dragnet? If so that's a wild take. I'm pretty sure modern wildlife tracking practices are not what's at stake here.

All that karma farmed with paywall bypass posts. Kinda greasy.

Unless I'm missing something, that photo is of the new hoist installation.

It used to be out-of-work firefighters doing it for a paycheque. Now I guess they can collect without leaving the couch.

The idea is you shouldn't have to have any sort of computer on your person to participate in public life. If a proper eat-in restaurant can't maintain a paper menu then it's an indication of the level of service that's sure to follow.

I have a feeling we're already there.

You're reading into it too much. It's more likely they needed a comical backstory, and Flagpole Sitta was playing on the radio.

So, Pied Piper?

It's the normies that are missing out.

Don't forget the guy they hired to rappel off the tower while demonstrating it on a laptop. Why not, right?

Considering Meta lives and dies by the White House, where abuse and manipulation have become SOP, I'm not sure the CCP stacks up as the boogeyman anymore.

I have 256GB of FLAC in my car, and it's great.

They could have it taken out of print if it was as fictional and damaging as some say. I see new copies are still for sale so it can't be that.
