- Comment on Fitness app Strava gives away location of Biden, Trump and other leaders, French newspaper says. 3 weeks ago:
Trump’s tracking: Golf, golf, McDs, court, golf, golf, court, Mcds, McDs, McDs, golf…
- Comment on Cable companies ask 5th Circuit to block FTC’s click-to-cancel rule | Cable companies worry rule will make it hard to talk customers out of canceling 3 weeks ago:
I will say this much… I am knowledgeable that a lot of people cancel because they can’t figure out how to use the service, or don’t know enough about the service to know they’ll need 4+ apps or addons to get what they have currently. Informing them after they tell you what they want sometimes makes them realize switching isn’t better. Shouldn’t be a long call though, about 15 min.

Still waiting on a video free version, like I originally ordered… probably $30/mo next year
- Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second 1 month ago:
I actually like mine. 4k on clearance for $300 for a 55" 3 uears ago. HD version was more. Menus suck and remote on/off is IR only, but I can make do.

You’re not kidding. 2nd paragraph in I stopped. 3rd graders can write better than this.
- Comment on Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production 6 months ago:
And now we’re in an age of nuclear fusion. My kid or grandkids may live in a world powered by even cleaner reactors. Which is great because they will probably have to live entirely indoors.
- Comment on The retro Nokia phone everyone owned 25 years ago will get a reboot soon – and yes, it has Snake 6 months ago:
Ah my us robotics 28k modem… it sang a sweet song to prepare me for the bloodshed of TF and Painkeep.
- Comment on Congress lets broadband funding run out, ending $30 low-income discounts 6 months ago:
Originally it was just the poorer people. They lowered the discount and increased the qualifications for some reason.
- Comment on Congress lets broadband funding run out, ending $30 low-income discounts 6 months ago:
We’ll get it to you. Some day, your 40yr old cable or 70yr old copper line will be replaced and you’ll be connected to the 20 yr old fiber line 800 ft from your house. Then when that shit breaks we’ll repair it and double your rates to recoup the costs.

- Comment on All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week 6 months ago:
I wish I hadn’t went quit on acid lounge for so long… my account was closed due to inactivity (Netflix was a nice option way back then)
- Comment on Over 100 far-right militias are coordinating on Facebook 6 months ago:
Are .22 rounds still hard to find? Been awhile since I’ve bought any. I don’t practice much and I think before my dad died he was falling down the prepper hole.
- Comment on Over 100 far-right militias are coordinating on Facebook 6 months ago:
A feature, not a bug.
- Comment on Over 100 far-right militias are coordinating on Facebook 6 months ago:
Just for my info… any moderate militias out there? Purely informative of course.
- Comment on YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers 6 months ago:
Maybe its due to my age, but I use YT for tutorials on diy or fixing shit. I get 20s in, then whammo, ad. Just as the guy is focusing in on the area I need to see. I am watching a 5min video and 2min of ads… it is ridiculous.

Hope you enjoy combined tasks in your taskbar…
- Comment on When you do it yourself and it looks like you did it yourself lol 6 months ago:
I lived in my house for 5 months never noticing the corners. My uncle pointed them out one day and it bothers me to this day.
- Comment on SBC Case Builder v3.0 can create thousands of cases for popular SBCs and standard motherboards 6 months ago:
Wonder if it could build around laptop mobos… I threw together a design around my daughter’s broken laptop (screen) with Tinkercad and cut it using a laser engraver, but it bugs me it has an open gap around the ports (I am not that talented with a caliper, and I’m a little lazy)

Then again, the algorithm knows I skip a lot of dumb shit… cept the funny cat videos.
- Comment on TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out 6 months ago:
I actually get pretty good info from TT. Lawyer insight on Trump trials, video quotes from politicians, summaries of new laws, science summaries for dummies that don’t have physics degrees, etc.
- Comment on EU tells Meta it can't paywall privacy 6 months ago:
Serious question to Europeans: “How the hell did you get a group of people to actually give two fucks about you?” Seriously, here in the US even my goddamn local BOE is doing shady greedy shit. It’s all fucking corrupting so fast and without even a semblance of shame or privacy.

“Trust your tools”. Not my fault the hammer was replaced by a banana.

The Oncology pharma companies would love that! Every time I google symptoms I swear…
- Comment on Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads 7 months ago:
I still have an “air mouse keyboard combo”. Used a dongle to transmit but worked great. One side had arrow buttons, 2 buttos for clicking, I wiggled my wrist to point the cursor, and a keyboard sat on the back. I think I paid like $10 for it. Went from stick pc to Amazon due to specs vs price. Considering migrating back though.

These companies think of fines for damages against people as cost of business. Turnabout’s fair play.
