What is the world coming to when we can’t even trust spyware 😞

I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you! Well, maybe not that shocked.

Before that it’s just sparkling authoritarianism?

Considering two of the options are ‘hell’ and ‘die mart’ my money is on ass world being filled with hairy old men with poor hygiene.

I was wondering who the hell this Grok person was. I was thinking about what an unfortunate name for a person! No surprise that it’s actually a product and [probably] directly named by an immature billionaire edgelord.

To be clear, I know he didn’t invent the name. But if someone’s parents named them ‘Grok’ I’d understand if they went for a name change.

It’s one of those things where, while I’m sick of hearing about his bullshit, I need to know if he does something that directly affects me. E.g. if he started doing a similar thing in my country as the stuff he’s trying with Britain at the moment then I’d write to a couple of representatives to let them know they’ll lose mine and many other votes if they side with the dopey billionaire muppet.

It’s weird, Australian schools didn’t teach them either… does the rest of the world exist, perhaps?

Green energy is somehow both way too expensive and dangerously cheap.

That can literally be said by the same individuals in adjacent sentences depending on the narrative they’re spinning at the time.

I stopped using wired headphones before I had a device without a headphone jack.

I found the cord infuriating, always seemed to get caught or tangled on things, always making sensitive skin contact (like just beneath my jawline) where I was forever readjusting it and sometimes the cords lifted the headphone out of my ear.

Conversely, I’ve had three pairs of wireless headphones. First pair didn’t like getting christened in the washing machine, second pair is still going strong and third pair are AirPod Pros I bought before a flight for the noise cancellation which are also going strong. Maybe I’ve outsmarted the whole of Apple’s engineering/marketing department but I’ve never felt like the sets I’ve had are underperforming on battery life and have no reason to buy sets to replace the working ones I have. The small conveniences, like not being tethered to my phone and freedom from cords, have absolutely made the change to wireless worth it to me.

The biggest and most obvious downside against wireless headphones is compatibility and price.

ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

[softly] Don’t.

Everytime I consider buying an EV I do some research and they always seem to have all of the bells and whistles. Then I get to price and it’s like $60,000+ and I can’t help but wonder how much cheaper it could be without all of the added features.

Edit: I’m not going to reply to everyone and I really should have mentioned since it’s not immediately obvious but I’m Australian. No Chevy volt and and all vehicles are imported increasing prices on top of the usual AUD imbalance.

Plot twist, its Gellar Field is failing. The howls of the warp creep in, clawing against the crews minds and their very souls. The light of the Emperor is fading, hope is but a memory as screams of agony fill the cockpit.

And heading to the warehouse so no precious miniature cargo 😭

The Signs school of Chekhov’s gun. Water. More water. Water everywhere! Oh no! Aliens! I wonder what their weakness is 😉

On it! takes deep ass-breath

When you come across a ‘user’ that almost exclusively defends one controversial politician/company/government and all of their comments seem to follow a script. Also the account is either brand new or 5 years old but only started posting recently.

A message for Australians too unfortunately. The LNP (our right-wing party) made efforts within their time in power to coax people into using private insurance and punishing those who do not. And unfortunately even with the more centre-left party in power it doesn’t seem like the public system is getting much more love.
