Your pixel 5 didn’t just mysteriously die? There was a wave of them dying. Mine was part of the crossfire.

I loved the pixel 5 too, for like 3 years then mysteriously croaked.

Currently on the pixel 6 which is pretty good.

It’s reached a point where the government is pushing for websites to card you before you can enter.

Women apps were giving data so the government can arrest women for abortion-like behavior.

We’re already at the point where privacy/anonymity is the only way to visit the internet.

Appreciate this.

That’s how classic Reddit was for me.

Mods who are extremely rigid to the rules had to exist when the spammers went crazy. But with smaller communities, modding should be based on vibes. You get better conversations that way.

Honestly that sounds great. I’m kind of annoyed how often NordVPN keeps emailing me and trying to upsell me on the daily.

The service is fine overall. But the nonstop promotion, along with it being a US company that can easily just give all their info to the US government, makes me wanting to switch pronto.

I’m just saying the vaccine to cure zombification is more dangerous than the zombie bite! I could get autism or something!

I like it. Let’s do that. But then the twist happens.

The super fast super genius zombies get infected. And now they have to survive in a apocalyptic post-apocalyst. Directed by M Night.

Relatable.

Cat brain is a thing in my house.

Chromebooks went from “What is that?” To literally everywhere in schools.

Android phones are everywhere.

Google and the Chrome browser really ate into Microsoft’s dominance.

My business partner sometimes says some shit that while true, really stabs me in the heart.

His most recent one, “Ugh, there’s too many parents with sickly kids here. Let’s go to the VIP room.” (At the airport)

Like, I’m one of those sickly kids.

I used to believe a lot of things.

Newegg sold really good products.

Blizzard made good games.

America is the land of the free.

Things change. Anker rose to the top for low priced products that were good. And now that they’ve become bigger, their output might get worse.

If that money funnels to unemployed engineers to set it up… I’m all for it.

Take the money, do the work, jump ship.

Then they’ll go: “Source: my presentation from last year where I made up that number”

Android users won’t have a choice after a while.

I didn’t want Google Now. Uninstalled it, and it’s back and updated. Been fighting for years.

Yeah only reason Apple hasn’t done it is because they haven’t figured out a way to connect it all to its ecosystem.

Like they say, the Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

I work in tech and I hate it when non-security people talk about it.

It’s really painful to read about “a new hack that can affect billions of accounts” from a source, only to learn its some new social phishing method.

That’s legal just don’t look at them or enjoy them.

Cameras. They fucking hate body cameras. When it clears them of wrongdoing, they have the video ready. When they ‘accidentally’ shoot a guy nine times in the back of the head, video seems to be missing.

Absolutely complicit.

We have a president who can barely form a sentence and the news barely comments on his mental decline and batshit choices. But bring up Biden and the jokes about his stability start flying.

Yep. In the 2000s, my town had a serious scare. I lived in a small town at the time near a major music fest, and the town handed out flyers about watching yourself because we had a bunch of roofie incidents.

One festival mocked our town for it and called us assholes/cops. Because that festival were like pro date-rape or some shit? Festival doesn’t exist anymore.

But I’ll never forget how many naive tourist girls who would get the flyer, laugh, and go, “Why would anyone do this haha!” And don’t take this stuff seriously.

I feel like social media has been a huge help at identifying shit behavior.

When Amazon bought Whole Foods, I had hoped they’d lower prices to a more reasonable level.

Nope. Still $8 for the same exact $3 product elsewhere.
