If they do get noisy then you should be worried
  • That’s such a weird rule. I wonder why. I guess maybe they don’t want to have superstitious buyers in the future worry about ghosts having a short commute back to their old homes?

    The Murdoch Press is discovering the NPC Meme
  • less educated, more depressed, less values

    Can you blame them? I feel bad for the kids, they've never known a world with hope. The world has always been shitty, but at least a lot of us got to grow up naieve to it

    Apple's Activation Lock for iPhone components will make a huge dent in the market for stolen iPhones, though it introduces another barrier to DIY repairs (Ben Lovejoy/9to5Mac)
  • While annoying from a right to repair perspective, I do think this will be a good thing overall. There is a whole industry for snatching phones and getting them turned into parts.

    In my city, go to the sketchy grocery stores and there are machines that you can just put a phone in and get cash for it. Pretty much no questions asked. Crackheads and tweakers on main street will smatch a thousand dollar phone out of someone hands so they can get $100 so someone can sell all the parts for a few hundred. I feel a pang of anger every time I see someone using one of those machines.

    It's kind of a simular to how there is an underworld for cadaleidic converters. I guess the government can try to make laws trying to somehow regulate used phone parts, but I'm not sure how that'd actually be effective.

    Why are the webcam/microphone switches red when the component is disabled and black when enabled (instead of the other way around)?
  • I see it more of a way to alert the user that devices might not work as expected if there is red. From the manufacturer perspective, they want to minimize the number of phonecalls that a webcam/mic isn't working and red will more likely get user attention before someone calls

    This might not be too far off
  • The few bits of lore that exist are probably going to be fumbled. I really do hope they do just have herobrine in the background of some scene. The trailer looks like they are going all in on hoglins, which I'm completely meh on. Endermen are probably too scary for a little kid movie tho.

    Undecided voters give Harris a look — but not a commitment — after the debate
  • When/if democrats can Energize the base, they don't need to give a shit about undecideds. but until then, we are stuck pandering to the people we know will actually show up to and wait at the voting booth

    ‘Villain’ YouTuber Nikocado Avocado Shocks Fans With 250LB Weight Loss Reveal
  • I know the rest of the comments here are all really negative but I want to bring some positivity.

    I'm so happy for him that he's lost all that weight. That's an incredible achievement.

    Also, it's one of the craziest swerves of all time on YouTube. Dude was one of the biggest lolcows on the internet. I'm sure several drama YouTubers had to trash videos. Like, even just a week ago he released a video where everyone was like, "he's gonna die any day". And he was just losing weight this whole time and he had that much of a backlog of videos. That's unhinged but in the best possible way. I'm just happy and impressed for him.

    Authorities warn about surge in Bitcoin ATM scams
  • Is there anyone using a crypto ATM for legitimate purposes? Probably should have to show an ID to use one but make it be that you have to be at least 21 years younger than the average life expectancy to use it

    French woman tells court she was ‘sacrificed on the altar of vice’
  • Life is more horrific than fiction. What a complete nightmare. It's hard to even try to beleive it's real. So utterly devistating for her. This amount of trauama is so ghastly because it also destroys her understanding of reality.

    I really don't know how a human could recover from this. I really hope she finds a way to keep going on. This is going to stick with me. Cause like, yo, wtf. So heartbreaking.

    Glad a bunch of people are going down for this. The breadth of perpetrators is wild.

    NASA's solar sail successfully spreads its wings in space
  • If photon hitting a surface can impart momentum, does generating photons also impart momentum? Like, if you put a solar powered laser pointer in space, would it move?
