A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

On the flip side, I cancelled my Progressive home+auto insurance because they had become way too expensive. While on the phone she was trying to convince me to start a new home quote to see if that would lower my rates. She asked if my roof was still 30 years old. Wishing to end the conversation quicker, I lied and said yes despite getting it replaced 6 months ago.
Since then I have gotten two texts and several phone calls per day from companies claiming to be working my area who see that I need a new roof.
