If the point of taking drugs is to "enhance your performance" then Biden took every drug he should NOT have taken before that debate.

Thanks to badly written software, you can literally design "planned obsolescence" into your products.

"The computer says you need to replace your 15,000 dollar battery pack."

"But my car is only six months old!"

"Yeah, but the Computer SAYS-"

The end of true representative democracy in this country began the moment the courts accepted the "corporations are people / money is speech" arguments. When that happened, governments stopped representing the needs of ordinary people and only listened the needs of billionaires and their lobbyists.

It's taking decades to play out, but it's going to end badly.

Well, what are we supposed to do? Choose a presidential candidate who was born after the Battle of the Bulge?

Using AI lets scammers target hundreds of people at once and choose likely candidates for a pig-butchering scam (rich, dumb, vulnerable, etc). Once the AI finds one, it passes the phone number on to a human scammer for further exploitation.

It's like the old war-dialers that would dial hundreds of people and pass along the call when they got an answer from a real human being.

Copilot / Recall was the last straw for me. My only relationship with Microsoft for the last 10 years has been, "how much more of Microsoft's sh*t am I willing to put up with?"

I got the "It's time to upgrade to Windows 11" message on my Windows 10 laptop. It's getting aggravating.

You can get laptops on Amazon now with Ubuntu pre-installed. :)

Also, make sure your password contains L's, 1's, 0's and O's in a font deliberately chosen to make them hard to tell apart.

Well, you give them food one day and the next day, they're hungry again! What's up with that?

"Free ad-supported" makes you no different than a hundred other garbage-tier streaming services.
