Feels like such a reach. I have no love for Amazon but what are they supposed to do here? Ask you at check out “Are you trying to commit suicide with these items?” Typing is most keywords for suicide and Google pops up with suicide prevention info on top screen already. People who want to do something will find a way.

This sucks. For awhile prices were so great for consumers. Finally thought prices would settle low. I’m already seeing a 50% increase in some products. Some cheap team group 128gb SSD could be had for like $12 last year. I tried to look at prices a few days back and it was about $20 and rising.

From article looks like they don’t want to settle at prices before plummet, but at recent peak prices. Shit companies raising cutting output to inflate prices. Car companies are going to be next to follow. They’ve had to cut prices to sell recently. Once that settles …

Guess if you got nukes you can do what you. Iran going to be pulling this move in the next 5-10 years.

I’d forgotten they were gonna start doing this. I’ve got Amazon for the shipping there video has always been leaking. I use it maybe twice a year. They’re probably trying to delay a price increase to Amazon and increase revenue.

I don’t see Google raising that storage limit anytime soon. They’ve spent the past 2 years years trying to get rid of storage requirements on their end. They combined drive, email, and photo storage in the same storage limit. They’re about to start trimming inactive Google accounts. The plan here is to push people into the higher 1TB plan which might be more profitable for them. I’m amazed the price for the plans have held steady. I’d expect a price increase from either Google or OneDrive.

This seems like a bad plan. While Fire OS has always been an outdated mess of AOSP, it still supports large pool of apps with sideloading. This is also probably expensive to build and they continue losing large amounts with their Alexa stuff. I wish for a third option besides just Android and IOS ,but I’m not holding my breath for this being it.

I’ve been using fakespot for a few months now and it seems hit or miss a lot of times. I’m hoping that Mozilla has been making changes to improve the implementation of how it checks reviews.

Wow I didn’t know this site was still around. I thought it shut down like 4 years ago

Yes and worse, was absorbed into buu.

Well Putin seems to be killing everyone now. This along with the other former commander general. The world is truly losing great men, lol. They get what they deserve.

I was excited when voice assistants first came out. Siri, cortana, google assistant. More than 10 years later and the technology just completely sucks. Even the simplest thing of trying to set a quick reminder on my phone is just quicker by doing it manually.

1/ A framed document apparently photographed in Yevgeny Prigozhin’s house by Russian security force searchers sets out what appears to be the Wagner Group’s founding ‘constitution’. It’s signed by Prigozhin (who’s referred to as the ‘Director’) and Dmitry Utkin, Wagner’s founder (the ‘Commander’).

I don’t think it’ll make things more difficult. Throughout the war prisoner exchanges has continued between the two. I don’t see this changing too much.

Lukashenko shares some more details about the day of Prigozhin’s mutiny.

He reveals there were no defense lines in Russia up until 200 km from Moscow (some regions are more equal than others?) and carefully chooses words to present Putin as a strong leader, while pointing out it was Lukashenko who did all the negotiating.

Yeah the megathread being so old is an issue. I meant a megathread being daily would make sense.

The whole sage with this guy has just been strange. He’s supposed to be exiled but can just return and say “I want my seized guns and money back”.
