The real question is why people are still using that dumpster fire of a website.

Was born into it really. Got my first PC. Knew nothing. Slowly learnt stuff off my sis who was going into engineering. Thru her I met a guy who was dating a friend of ours. He was like hey sign up for this BB and you can get tons of free shit. He pointed to D2 which I played like mad. I signed up and just got thrown into the scene. Ended up being an admin of that board for a bit. This was around the time Oink was at its peak. Like 2y later, gone.

Went to uni myself and just supplied everyone with free stuff for school. Even profs lol.

And that’s just how I stayed. Felt good buying everything I used after I got a job out of school tho. Still use some of it today! But for most media, it’s just like why NOT sail. If movies were a buck a pop like they should be, I’d probably furl up my Jolly Roger. Till that day tho 🏴‍☠️

Except the “state” has plenty of evidence of fraud but has literally done nothing up to this point. The only thing that will change things if the people boycott ASUS and demand justice.

Or you know, keep writing your emails to the “state” begging them to actually do their fucking jobs and see how far that takes us.

Yeah. We need more support on that platform, especially for gaming.

I think it’s wild how people post “omg I just got this entire series for $299! It was on sale so I had to!” Like in 5 years, you may not even have it! Company goes under. Gets bought out. Or my personal favourite, it becomes unavailable because the owner pulled it over a legal dispute. Like so many songs off Spotify. These companies never get involved like well we got our cash too bad so sad.

Cook wants you to buy an Apple Pencil for each specific iPad. Air? Get the new Apple Pencil Air! iPad Pro? Get the new Apple Pencil Pro! Base iPad? We got you. All new Apple Pencil!

The dude is literally designing hardware specific, um, hardware. Have an iMac? Sorry, you bought the Apple Keyboard Pro. It’s not compatible!

I’ve found most to either be a) you are flagged as malicious by their system and routed thru their process to prove you are human; some you can end up locked into, b) they gate content or services. Mostly the latter but the former is becoming prominent with all the fuss about AI. I imagine they are training protection models on us.

Mostly it’s just convenience you lose, having to always add a protective layer (like temp emails, etc.) while everyone is good to go. Managing all that can be a chore too. Or seem like one.

One of my first jobs was at a gas station. The lady who hired me was in shit with the company because she hired some dude and he was skimming peoples CCs. They found out, fired him but she did zero background check on the guy. Came back to bite her. I was his replacement

It’s a con. There is no chip. None that works. This is Holmes 2.0. Except he may never be caught. The project will get into more “problem” and he’ll string investors along to secure himself a net positive position before letting it languish into oblivion. It’s probably one of the things that’s actually making him money.

Break down the whole thing. What am I supposed to go to McChip to get some kid with 6 weeks training to install these? If not some doctors with a 8y waiting list? How do you scale that part of the process? Doctors aren’t bountiful. And expensive.

And the elephant in the room: you can’t shove some electrodes into your midbrain and do things. The video of the guy moving the cursor around can be done now in macOS Sonoma with accessibility features. It would have been a different story if he was actually thinking about opening a photo from 3 years ago and it did that. But he was just moving a cursor around.

All he’s actually accomplished outside of lining his coffers is kill a bunch of innocent apes.

I want to gut the person who wrote that headline

Wouldn’t be that much work to create codes for shippers to give out. It’s basically how tracking works. But in this case, they give the seller a code. When that code is scanned in, the shipper pulls up the associated address, and delivers it. Only the shipping place would ever know your details.

Honestly sounds like terrific b to b software to develop. Create a universal standard and we all move to not exposing our name and number and address to random strangers who do god knows what with it.

I thought there was strict regulation to ensure crown corporations operated at a 0 profit margin. They can do things like employee bonuses or salary increases to eat up any profits but can’t operate under the premise of “making money”?

Yeah that’s #1 bullshit. DHT is a sex steroid and hormone that defines the male genitalia during the embryonic development. It builds out the entire male reproductive system right down to pubic hair.

Steroids always affect testosterone and that mostly affects men because they carry substantially more. So that’s sort of a clue in what area they target.

Creativity and “intelligence” are entirely abstract, human concepts. There is no one mechanism that governs them let alone a single hormone for that matter.

Also, just want to point out that our ancestors had literally perfect teeth. Perfect. Crooked and fucked up teeth is a modern infliction (no one really knows why). So just sayin.

Cheers. It’s wild people still prefer to believe that fluoride makes them dumber and less creative lol.

What an absolute dumpster fire 🤪

Happy adoring I guess

Is that why not a single one hit us???

ultratiem, 11 days ago

Same. I ditched AZ once they added ads PV. After 2 20s back to back ads, I unfurled my Jolly Roger. Fuck ads.

New iPad Pro only works with the new Apple Pencil Pro. Which is the same price as the 2nd Gen.

So anyone with a current Pro and a 2nd gen pencil needs to upgrade both. That’s insane.

Now if that isn’t the shadiest Cook move I don’t know what is. What’s next? Do I need a special Remote Pro with the new Apple TV? Are we really doing “Pro only” accessories?? Is that where we are these days???

All 4 Apple pencils still being sold as of writing this. Yes even the first gen that’s nearly 10 years old. And despite 3 others available.

So much for tight Apple product lines.

They are truly lost

Back when the premise was to make the pencil a standalone product. Now Cook wants to have 4 iPad lines and 4 pencils that only work with basically a single model. Just. How are people okay with this!

Mass grave 🤣🤣

I truly hate companies get away with this kind of shit…

ultratiem, 13 days ago

Yes. If you want to play “by the rules.” They don’t. Not sure why we should then.

Jack Dorsey. In a life long mission to look like a pencil. Steady progress I see.
