Feels like plane Wi-Fi will end up like hotels, trending to free with premium add ons

PS5’s are still persistently sold out, it’s impossible for them to have an increase in sales

A climate emergency could also spike AC usage so high that the grid fails and desynchronizes and takes days to boot up again- no life support for anyone.

Most likely, the alternative is rolling blackouts, where instead of a house regulated to 80 degrees, you just have no power for a few hours.

It will still use USB-C, yes

No, usually you can renew a domain for anyone without authentication

Replace the steel cable with one of those extendable pet leashes

Commercial pricing is already separate from residential pricing

Even if you have to click a button to allow it, in browser GPU compute seems like it’s mostly going to be used for nefarious purposes?

Plus have you ever opened a GPU buffer without writing to it? It’s always filled with stale data, as the attack surface of webgpu grows it’s becomes more and more possible to exfiltrate data from the GPU.

Whew boy this doesn’t sound like human rights violations in the making, no siree

Yeah it doesn’t really make any sense- if you’re gonna charge me almost $100 for a Spotify player I’m gonna need more.

Preferably it should have its own cell modem and built in service plan, and since I already paid $90 for the thing it should really work for free. At least for a few years.

That’s not professional level I’d say most cyclists can sprint at 25+

Classic to someone, I suppose?

If it’s anything like American McDonald’s those card readers should be hooked up over the network- not USB. There shouldn’t be a trivial way to use them as card skimmers, the software loaded on them, doesn’t just like hand out card numbers it processes the transaction.

Now, if they are hackable, and if they’re networked, or if you’re in America, your target is the Ethernet ports strategically hidden around the store. Look under and behind soda machines, inside cabinets in the lobby used to store napkins and stuff, randomly on the walls in the playplace etc

I don’t know about skimming cards from those ethernet ports, but you will have full access to the entire POS system which includes ordering and business data and the backend server.

Discussing wages is protected both by executive order and by federal law with the National Labor Relations Act

The difference is it legal to fire someone for using TikTok. It’s just not believable, which makes it clear that the firing was illegal (discussing wages is one of the few things you can’t be fired for).

This is a pretty open and shut case right? No one can really say she was fired for anything but revealing her pay.

A judge isn’t going to buy “we fired her for having a TikTok, which she could have used wrong“. Most of their employees probably do!

I’ve observed Twitter showing me two different sets of “Latest Tweets” on two different devices- I’ve only found Twitter tolerable on third party clients recently

The chicken tax is a tax on small trucks, not large ones

If a state actor is trying to engineer a bio weapon to kill me specifically, I think there’s a number of ways they can get my DNA.

Though I don’t think they’d need to- I think if the CIA wants to kill me quietly they’re gonna bump into me on the sidewalk and use their own undetectable poison that isn’t specific to me.

I don’t think heavier batteries with less battery life are gonna do much for Americans.

Not unless we can get into small vehicles real quick- and given that the chicken tax has been imposed by executive order since 1964 I don’t see that happening.

How much can you do, given that terminals are physically far apart? I figured that the stores are pretty much taking up space that would otherwise be unused- but still there. If I’m stuck at an airport, I’d rather have more dining options than less. Airports with more restaurants tend to have better prices for the food as well.

People movers are faster than walking, maybe shuttles should be more common?

I think most people don’t actually care if anything is real. Even if it’s a safety hazard, even if someone is getting screwed- it’s basically an internet flea market.

It’s funny that the categories are pretty much everything.

Concrete, crystallization, bicycle design, green tea. What do we know, exactly?

It is different but still tastes fresh and robust

A bus is public transportation. A train is public transportation. A bike-share program is, tentatively, public transportation.

Price is not a factor here- motorcycles are not public transportation because they are cheap. Bicycles are not public transportation because they are yet cheaper. Personal conveyance is not public transportation.

The money from the purchases after the value is inflated.

I don’t believe him. It sounds to me like he played the usual scheme, having people pay for his NFTs to inflate their value- while sending the funds back.

The cops are a system- it comprises both its rules and those who enact them. The quarrel is with the cops.

Well based on this it should probably be rebranded a “desperation tax”

Presumably they're going to make good insulin people can actually use, rather than pig insulin that practically doesn't work.
