The web experience of the 90s and early 2000s is dead. The web has gotten shittier too. I was going to type up some long rant, but why? This is a good example of why the web is dead. Fuck you author. I welcome my fucking ban.

Well as a former chess champion, he must have seen this coming. Looking forward to seeing his next move.

I don't think I'd pass the personality test to get hired onto a job that tracked my time in the washroom. Sure hope that those who are tracked that way unionize soon.

At first I LOL WTF, but then I remembered how far down the societal ladder goes. Some schools have a constant problem with vandalism. Knowing which kids are in the halls at what time will help narrow down which shithead ripped the sink off

Do business with business that have local offices. That way anytime something needs verification or seems off, go into the businesses building.

An easy fix for that would be to put a surge protector between the UPSs. (Joke) ------------ I bought three UPSs, all them used independently; but I had to stop using all of them. They all had a capacitor whine that was driving me crazy.

Be cool if alcoholics could get this level of sympathy from society. Drink too much: it's a personal failing. Eat too much: weight management is extremely challenging due to interactions between our biology, behavior, and the obesogeni

A lot of millennials and gen Z's are choosing to not have kids. No real reason for those without kids to give a fuck, and those with kids have a larger carbon footprint than those without children.

It's electric SIR, how would forced induction help? Lol Send them to an auto parts store and have them ask for a supercharger for their Tesla just to confuse the clerk. Obligatory: I wouldn't actually do this but it's amusing

Wow. I did not know that. It's likely 90% of the population don't follow this tax law.

Due to the anti-consumer behavior of all mega-corps, presume the worst. If a person chooses not to connect TV to the internet, how can I know with 100% certainty that data extraction is not occuring over Bluetooth? Samsung could have a cont

The smart features. On the CU7000D I pulled three wires and I was able to turn off Bluetooth on the fucking thing. For those about to make the recommendation, I could not make the edit in the factory menu. I use the remote controller code,

It is the scalability. A motivated well-funded bad actor could reek total havoc.

When I was younger I watched too much sci-fi and Star Trek. I was always prospace exploration. Now that I'm older, my views have changed. We need to be focusing on infrastructure and the meat bags that inhabit this dirt ball. But NASA

There's a big difference between reading and understanding. Looks like this person is doing this so they can burn through a whole bunch of books within time frame. Which is fine for a hobby, but while working I don't see the value

I did some casual searching on disabling Toyota Dealer Communications System (DCS). The results of that search was not informative. I highly doubt that just pulling that fuse will disable Toyota's tracking. I'd suspect their track

I have money to buy a new car, but I won't. Back in my day this was called spyware. "Toyota says they can collect a whole heap of personal information on you through your car, the Toyota app, and their connected services. This inc

Maybe so, I seem to recall hearing that one point. However, there's a lot of variables to that (i.e., road surface [pot holes/dips], surface temperature, sand/salt on the surface, tire type, etc). What I can tell you is that

True. Talking to myself there in that last line. I gotta get out of the house more. I wasn't trying to be preachy, but now I will. Please find Christ and oppress others with his teachings. I wasn't very religious, but the Jeffer

Can attest to that. In the 1990s, ABS was not required for auto-manufacturers. I'm not driving slow to be a prick, but doing 85 in that boat with a soft suspension is terrifying. 95 is a death wish move. General PSA to those who might

Wow. You make a great point. You got me thinking about those rainwater capture systems for downspouts now. Rainwater hits asphalt shingles and picks up a bunch of hydrocarbons, and then someone uses the contaminated water to grow their toma

Machine learning models will be used for oppression. For those with money, it allows them to control the narrative even more. It will also be used to invade citizens privacy, analyze their views, and inform/take corrective actions. Peo

I should buy some real cups and quit drinking out of solocups, but then I remember the water mains are plastic and so are pipes in the house. Then I remember I smoke cigarettes and drink too much and I will likely expire before I'm 70

The aftermath section was quite amusing to read. The individual who is trying to make it heavily scripted was either... 1. Getting to play out a very expensive fantasy. 2. Started second guessing their decision for fear that someone would t
