- Comment on Canada to counter ‘unjustified’ US tariffs with 25% taxes on US cars, says Carney 4 hours ago:
Somewhere will Canada get its vehicles from? Stellantis Canada just shut down their plants in Canada and Mexico. Are there other cars manufactured there? Or do they do the Chinese import thing? Do they import VWs from Europe (or other European built cars)?
It’s difficult to call cars “US made” when most of the parts and manufacturing isn’t done in the US. This is going to get tricky for everyone.
- Comment on Will SNW (or any future Trek) Retcon Mojave, California? 16 hours ago:
Pretty sure TNG and some of the ST movies mentioned weather controls. And there have been many mentions of terraforming entire planets.
So I doubt Mojave would get retconned.
- Comment on Tesla quarterly sales slump 13% amid backlash against Elon Musk 1 day ago:
Only 13%?

I’m partial to the Junior Vasquez remix of “Climb Every Mountain” myself.
- Comment on Microsoft is redesigning the Windows BSOD and it might change to black 2 days ago:
It’s ridiculous that it doesn’t give you the option to load a support page on restart with additional info.
- Comment on Microsoft is redesigning the Windows BSOD and it might change to black 2 days ago:
If they’re going to redesign it, they should give the emoticon its nose back.
:-(
- Comment on Apple Readies Its Biggest Push Into Health Yet With New AI Doctor. 4 days ago:
If this is true, Apple will have to tread very carefully here. 23&Me was forbidden by the FDA from telling you about health risks related to your actual DNA. Now Apple is going to make your health diagnosis based on a Magic 8 Ball?
- Comment on California Assembly speaker and other Democratic state lawmakers ditch X, citing hate speech, disinformation 5 days ago:
Took them long enough.
- Comment on Musk's xAI buys social media platform X for $45 billion 6 days ago:

“City on the edge of forever” is amazing in so many ways.
- Comment on How to Delete Your 23andMe Data. 1 week ago:
Good luck with that. I filled out the paperwork last year to have mine deleted and never got confirmation. Now that they’re bankrupt, I doubt there’s anyone on staff who could handle it.
- Comment on Exclusive: Google will develop the Android OS fully in private, and here's why 1 week ago:
Well if Google is forced to sell it off or spin Android off into its own company, we’ll see if it remains private.
- Comment on Maybe time travelers actually exist and this mess of a timeline is the result of their interference... 1 week ago:
I think many of us are just desperate for answers because it is difficult to believe the people around you really are this stupid.
- Comment on Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of Chrome 1 week ago:
Spinning them off into their own independent companies would make more sense than a sale to another party.
- Comment on Apple sued for false advertising over Apple Intelligence. 1 week ago:
Whoopsie! I guess that’s why Steve Jobs had a policy of not announcing things that weren’t ready to ship.
- Comment on Cellebrite Dumps AI Into Its Cell Phone-Scraping Tool So Cops Can Hallucinate Evidence 2 weeks ago:
Sounds like a great way to get evidence thrown out of court.

Nothing will change until the institutional investors (the largest investors) wake up.
- Comment on Why aren't we all getting rich from compound interest? 3 weeks ago:
lol. 5% interest is a rarity now. The moment it starts approaching that, interest rates get cut. It never lasts. Discover is currently at 3.7%.
- Comment on Netflix is very pushy about cancelling 3 weeks ago:
Makes you wonder how many accounts they’ve lost in North America.
- Comment on First Porn, Now Skin Cream? ‘Age Verification’ Bills Are Out of Control. 3 weeks ago:
Just more excuses to track you.
- Comment on Brazilian court gives Apple 90 days to allow sideloading on iOS 3 weeks ago:
This is a great way to get Apple to pull manufacturing out of Brazil.
- Comment on SpaceX Starship blows up twice in a row. 3 weeks ago:
I wonder if Elon has driven off a good chunk of his quality SpaceX employees yet?
- Comment on The Volkswagen ID. EVERY1 is an affordable EV for the masses 3 weeks ago:
EVs don’t need fancy brakes because they use regenerative braking.
- Comment on The Volkswagen ID. EVERY1 is an affordable EV for the masses 3 weeks ago:
VW lost the plot on product names years ago.

There are currently no plans to ship this in the US. 🙄
- Comment on Apple has 90 days to allow app sideloading in Brazil 3 weeks ago:
Governments are aiming for the wrong problem. Instead of pushing for alternate stores or side loading apps, they should be forcing manufacturers to open their devices to alternative OSes.
Don’t like the Apple App Store? Install Linux on your iPhone. Or Android. Or maybe even Windows Phone (if MS was smart enough to jump at the opportunity).
- Comment on UK quietly scrubs encryption advice from government websites 3 weeks ago:
Yes UK. Make it easier for your enemies and frenemies to hack into your data. I’m sure that will work out well.
- Comment on BlackBerry may have the perfect opportunity to produce a Canadian made cellphone to compet with Apple and other America brands. 4 weeks ago:
If Microsoft and Windows phone couldn’t do it, I have my doubts. And Windows phone 7/8 was actually a good product.
- Comment on If society goes completely cashless, bank robberies would no longer be a thing, which means there would no longer be "bank robbery" plots in future Movies/TV shows. 4 weeks ago:
Have we already forgotten the plot of “Superman III”?
- Comment on More than half of adults worldwide will be overweight or obese by 2050 – report 4 weeks ago:
Not with current weight loss drugs they won’t.
