A lot of them want to use your financial data (what you buy, for how much and when) to sell to advertisers etc.
Maybe adding porn stuff in there taints the data?
- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050 1 day ago:
More compact tech usually increases pricing.
Also the need to have it not break when regularly transported in a backpack etc (think moving parts).
Also it includes a screen and controllers.

No. Things will just get worse.
Your statement has probably been true since 2008. Maybe longer.
- Comment on Welcome to the Labour police state 1 week ago:
Even on the middle east eye YouTube I’m seeing so many appeals to authority and “it’s illegal, simple as. Full stop. Not for debate”.
Not sure if brigading or what but it really worries me how people think.
It’s not like they’re stupid, it’s like it’s uncomfortable for them to think.

About 300 years after the invention of the bow, which is crazy.
It meant that the value of archers was really low from a military point of view. Those nerds were useless.
- Comment on 8999 BC 3 weeks ago:
They may have been mentioned/featured in things that last longer than the bows. Statues, pottery, writing on stone tablets.
Also I think they find skeletons with flint arrowheads in them sometimes too.
So it can be pieced together from lots of small, even partial data points.
But we find new stuff all the time that changes what we thought.
They found a 4000 year old bagless vacuum cleaner the other day.
That last one was a joke.

They’re not going away, they’re just going to be more persistent with their cold calling, and more infuriating with their call answering.

He doesn’t post on twitter any more I think. Just his own site.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 4 months ago:
Screwed is always relative.
I’m hearing chat that immigrants from places like Turkey or India are going “oh yeah this is what it’s like back home”.
So it’s possible it just goes full neoliberal (i.e. no consequences or regulations for the rich) and the division of wealth grows even further.
Provided he doesn’t cause a war or some kind of other mass-death problem (chemical spills, reactor meltdown etc) it might just have a cost primarily in human suffering, as opposed to human life.

A whole new generation of the Kobo readers just came out too!
I’ve got one of the previous Gen and I was so happy to find they have models with the clicky buttons to turn the page.
