- Comment on Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update 1 week ago:
Cool. I’m not going to do that another three times when I can spend less money on phones that don’t break.
Not to mention Google doesn’t do stores where I live.

Not acceptable. Bought something else.
- Comment on Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update 1 week ago:
I have owned 3 pixels.
5a - bricked randomly 8 - screen failed within 6 months 6a - stuck in a bootloop, gave up on fixing it just before the battery issue made headlines
I gave them a fair shake. Never again.

And if I can’t, I’ll just stop using the internet for anything I don’t absolutely have to.
I don’t really need my smartphone. A laptop will do.

No. Please teach your child to groom himself safely. Particularly if he WANTS TO LEARN - that is a miracle in itself.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Absolutely fucking not.
It’s not an internet. It’s a top-down content filter with a paywall.
It’s not worth the price of admission and I’m paying for it twice already and then being asked to pay a third time to access most of it with advertising on top of it.
I’m unbypassable-android-app-restrictions away from cutting off from the whole goddamn thing.

- Comment on Tesla In 'Self-Drive Mode' Hit By Train After Turning Onto Train Tracks 1 month ago:
I didn’t keep track of how that lawsuit turned out.
That said, it is labeled “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)” on everything in the car.
Supervised as in you have to be ready to stop this kind of thing. That’s what the supervision is.

I wouldn’t have had time between pumping iron and getting head, myself.
- Comment on Tesla In 'Self-Drive Mode' Hit By Train After Turning Onto Train Tracks 1 month ago:
Driver failed to control their car and avoid a collision.
FTFY.
I’m sure the car did actually take the action. But there are TONS of unavoidable warnings and reminders to the driver to supervise and take control when FSD goes wrong.
Which you can do by such super-technical means as “hitting the brake” or “steering the other way” or “flipping the right stalk up”. Rocket science, I know.
Driver’s fault. Bad technology, yes. Worse driver.
- Comment on Tesla In 'Self-Drive Mode' Hit By Train After Turning Onto Train Tracks 1 month ago:
Yes.
You hit the brake.
