There’s one that lives near my house. Initially i felt bad always seeing it alone. However as time passes I can confirm it is definitely an agent of chaos: randomly crashing into the dogs’ pool and bird bath at full speed, sending the grackles, finches and sparrows flying, and making “nests” in the dumbest places possible such as the window sill near our front door when it’s terrified of us. It somehow laid an egg in our mailbox that is always closed. The other birds give it a very wide berth any time it lands near them, and now i think I understand why.

azire let me forward ports and owns their own servers that don't have disks so I dumped Mullvad a long time ago. Also they're not side-talking shitheads. Unfortunately they got bought by Malwarebytes so I await the enshittification. Can't win.
This always baffled me. It really was so lazy and boring with the sets. It is weird when you think about how they had all those creative engineers making frickin' killbots at their disposal. Let them eat... But no, just flat areas and stupid hammers and floor saws too slow and weak to do anything... so everyone makes indestructible wedges to push other bots up on the edge, or a spin-hammer that is undefeatable.
This is probably mean but someone get this fool a mustache brush for the love of Jesus.

I can’t tell if this guy just constantly has bad takes and a shitty world view or if he knows saying controversial shit is what gets headlines. Maybe it’s both.
Not exactly the laziest but I was in IT collaborating with a dev on a project for our MSP’s control panel. They were ignoring my meeting invites, emails and IMs for a few days and I was getting annoyed. They were upstairs in a separate building across from ours. Kind of a hike.
Rather than hunt them down like a normal person, i browsed to their drive and stuck a batch script in their startup folder that drew a cheeky Matrix-style animated graphic (first one was out then) that after 30 seconds or so faded out to a message asking them to contact me. I set it so it would pop up and maximize if they rebooted. I tested it a bit but wasn’t sure if it would work or even if they ever rebooted since we had dedicated workstations.
But apparently they shut down their machine every night. So the next day they stood up and freaked out yelling that they had been hacked before they saw the ensuing message.
They were pretty pissed off once someone calmed them down and they figured out what i’d done, but we got the project completed after that.
Definitely some cuddlebug and maybe some blanket-thief in there.
Nice to see the capitalist centrists and AIPAC nut-huggers shook after the Mamdani sweep.
it’s the same dimensions as an early Toyota pickup. They deliberately simplified it but it has lane keep, collision avoidance, blah blah. Audio is BYO. They were straight up about that. Most of what you’d expect.
After watching them prototype and assemble , i was more impressed. it’s overbuilt to hell and back. But it seems to have some flaws.
Regardless i’m wary of the whole: we just built a factory and the stuff to make it so give us more deposits to make this real.

The US release I’d occasionally rent for my SMS always fascinated me though i was a bit too young to really know wtf to do. I remember it was very difficult and the random encounters were brutal, but there was so much to explore and see. And boy was the box art neutered to hell compared to this beautiful graphic design.
