Cell phone companies like AT&T could offer kid-lines (with filtered Internet access) and Google and Apple could provide kid-modes on their phones that don't allow VPNs or apps to be installed that parents do not approve of. Maybe t

Source? Considering that not all cars for sale have all of those features, I'm pretty confident in saying that you're wrong. Back-up cameras are required by law, so that requires a screen, but the law does not require that screen

One problem I see is, people may not want to wait 20 seconds for a dice roll. There is also the nostalgia of a D20. Just keep in mind that this will be a novelty and not a replacement. Unless people still D&D in steam tunnels and such

The bathrooms at my workplace are fit for purpose too, but that doesn't stop people with bad hygiene from leaving a line of fecal matter at the rear of the seat (where the cheeks meet) and not wiping away sweat, lint, and hairs, or pre

I'm looking for the quietest 6 bay NAS possible. I have a beQuiet case and six 30TB HDDs, and I plan to put the Ubuntu with a Plex server on a NVME SSD and do a ZFS 4+2. Can anyone point me to a better/quieter set-up? Thank you i

Looks cool. At first I thought the numbers might have been the dollar amounts from the Price Is Right prize wheel. If you ever mass produce these and the price is right, I might buy a D20 version.

Does any software have a survey for what users want? Instead of immediately pushing AI, they should have pushed a survey where AI was one of the choices/questions.

Monero's main "competitor" seems to be Zcash which is run by a VC-backed company. The company gets 20% of all mined Zcash. The incentive is very strong to FUD Monero. As of this comment, Monero is #26 on CoinGecko's li

A forum I manage was DDoSed, but I think it was by (AI) content scrapers as no one expressed any issues or anger towards the forum. I temporarily got around it by blocking the subnet of their IPs. I have since put it behind Cloudflare.

I wasn't there for the original Pebble, but was that a stretch goal, or the promised specs no matter how many sold? I can understand them not fulfilling a stretch goal even though that's kind of crappy. If it was a promised spec

I was once at a place that had a vending machine that accepted U.S. Currency as well as coupons. I wish I saved one of those coupons and reverse-engineered it and see if it worked on other machines, oh well.

I think that's different. That's just premium flair for their product, whereas this is just a stupid fashion product.

I'm just a lowly peon and don't make anywhere near that kind of money, but I do NOT consider that bragging in this context.

It's a joke even before looking at the price. "3D-knitted" WTF is that? Isn't all knitting in "3D"? It's a crappy handbag, and it's just for a phone. It looks like they had to use models to advertis

I used to read a ton as a kid, and now I can easily spot typos, extra spaces, etc when I glance at a page. If only I proofread my own writing *sigh*.

Phone microphones are generally pretty good. You don't need to shout or even talk loudly into them. Usually talking quieter than a normal conversation will be easily picked up by the phone's microphone. As long as you talk at an
