See my comment elsewhere in this thread, but you are blowing my mind. I'm not from the US and I did not realize that renting a mobile device was actually this common. I'm one of the lucky 10,000 today, thanks!

I honestly did not know this was a thing until today. I'm not from the US. Where I'm from, it is common to finance a phone as part of a mobile contract: your monthly payment includes a device payment and the network subscription c

Leasing, as in long term renting, required to give it back after the lease period, in near perfect condition, or face a penalty? Or financing, paying it off over a fixed term, after which you own it outright? The latter, I understand. And I

If leasing a fucking phone isn't a sign of the times then I don't know what is.

Stop moving the goalposts. This is a bipedal robot. I want to see a top fuel dragster accomplish the same running on two legs.

Do you have personal success using powerline ethernet? I tried it once and it was utter shit. A very expensive "up to 1000mbps" kit maxed out at ~200 when both devices were plugged into the same outlet. It just got worse with dist

Even more fun anecdote, barely related. In a recent South Africa vs England rugby match, an accusation of racism was levied against an SA player because he directed the phrase "white cunt" to one of the English players. If Afrikaa

It's the same way how every AI generated poster looks exactly the same. As if there is a single underlying prompt that describes the template of the poster/long-form article, and it does not dare deviate from that.

In Xbox's defence, pretty seamless. I am signed into my xbox account, which is a Microsoft account. When launcing a game all that account auth bullshit is taken care of. My wife has her own account, and our accounts are bound to our co

How can you put Ryanair and BMW in the same category? Ryanair's whole shtick is "we'll treat you like cattle in a truck, and you'll be grateful you only paid €20 for the experience". I feel that anyone who is outrag

There was an old version of firmware that would brick the thunderbolt port. Something about every connect/disconnect cycle would write tons to the port's eeprom eventually bricking it. I don't think there is a fix, it's

Smart TV's are famously a massive privacy and data theft trojan horse. Connecting your tv to the internet is quite frankly insane.

I started with XBMC, with the media library on the same machine as XBMC. Then I developed a need to have acces to my library on different devices. After faffing about with samba shares and whatnot I discovered Plex. I started using that as
