My house has manual windows, manual locks, and a dumb garage door controller… because I work in IT.

I do have a few smart appliances (environment reporting) but they are only allowed on the banishment VLAN so they don’t get to interact with any single appliance inside my network. All they see is internet and nothing else.

What better way to get you to pay them to steal and abuse your data?

For mobile I use a FiiO BTR7 and either my Simgot SM4’s or my Timeless II’s. They work for nearly anything with BT or a wired connection.

At home I run a 7.1 Marantz amp and a 120" 1080 projector in my home theater.

My issue is usually more of a source problem than a reproduction problem. You need high quality input to get high quality output.

Those were dead before they were released.

I prefer this version of star trek

I wish I had more votes for this excellent Groening mashup

I think I’ve clicked that button once in maybe 15 years. IMO it’s useless and I’m surprised it has taken them this long to do something about it. I wonder what the click stats for that one button are.

I want to see more companies doing this.

Let them drive their userbase further away. They have not learned their lesson in 15 years.

Dayvan Cowboy by Boards of Canada is probably my favorite instrumental of all time (BoC is instrumental ambient electronic, mostly experimental).

I mean, to be fair, none of those things are things I can tell from here.

Not so obscure, but very dark. This was a kids show on Nickelodeon after all. Have you watched it?

SlackerCats - obscure, ran for half a season

Clerks The Animated Series - obscure, ran for half a season

Carol and the end of the world (Mainstream but wildly serene, surreal, and overtly human)

Moral Oral - pretty dark adult show

Ren and Stimpy - pretty dark for a kids show

I’m sure I’ll think of a few more

Mainly, other production machines I’ve designed for work. I print a LOT of stuff, I print for retail, home repair, and fun.

Absolutely the fuck not, everyone should have access to games and other means of entertainment that strengthens decision making skills, logic and reasoning skills, and coordination skills.

I can’t stand it when people think video games are bad for you, they’re actually quite good for you. Who’s better off, the potato watching TV or the gamer actively improving their brain and coordination skills?

There is no war in Ba Sing Se sorta vibes

Press F to doubt

Hard to argue with that. IDK why the fuck we can let a convicted felon run for the highest office when they’re barred from voting (state dependent, fuck you florida), or can’t own a firearm. The law literally prescribes they cannot be trusted. We can thank stacked scotus (i.e. trump) for this failure too.

Your intuition is spot on.

Elon is gutting USAID because they were investigating him over starlink. Elon is gutting the government agencies that oversee electric car regulations and safety regulations. Elon is going after the SEC for investigating him. Elon is using the government’s databases to amass data to target political and business competitors and to further the far right propaganda campaigns as well as build list of deportees and political targets. Elon is gutting every TLA he can to ensure his taxes decrease and yours increase. Elon is tearing through decades of support and opportunity programs designed to help the less fortunate/less abled to live comfortably so he can live more comfortably.

Everything he’s doing, is for his own benefit and personal gain, to the extreme detriment of the entire country. He’s neither qualified nor elected. His actions should amount to treason, but they’re being enabled by a traitorous, treasonous, felonious criminal, the shittiest president this country has ever seen.
