  • Firmware update bricks HP printers, makes them unable to use HP cartridges

    Jump

  • My wife bought one of these pieces of shit before we got together. A few months back I finally got to the point where I had the "honey we need to throw out your printer and get a new one."

    "OK - should we give it to my sister or see if any of our friends want this?"

    "I'm not sure I dislike any of your friends or family enough to inflict this much frustration on them."

  • Only just started using it, but Mullvad has open the doors to their new search engine.

    https://leta.mullvad.net/

    It pulls results from Google.

    Mullvad Leta uses the Google Search API as a proxy, caching each search. These cached results are shared amongst all users, reducing costs and improving privacy. This service is user-supported and doesn't rely on ads or data selling.

    Our browser extension simplifies access. Once your account number is set in the settings, there's no need to log in each time. To protect against correlation attacks and manage costs, searches are cached for 30 days, possibly resulting in slightly outdated results.

  • How DOGE’s Cuts to the IRS Threaten to Cost More Than DOGE Will Ever Save

    Jump

  • Yup. The whole thing is a ruse to get rid of Income Tax in favor of Tariffs, which will essentially act as a national sales tax.

  • Removed

    Trump vows to match Canada’s retaliatory tariffs ‘immediately.’ Live trade war updates here.

  • And this, my friends, are why tariffs are dumb.

  • And let's not forget they can now spend $5 million of that on a "golden visa" to become legal US residents on the path to citizenship.

  • Trump melts down in deranged rant during Zelenskiy meeting

    Jump

  • Just when you thought you couldn’t get any more embarrassed being an American.

    This is a great window into how Trump, Vance and MAGA do business.

    Bully. Yell. Lie. Threaten.

  • Zelensky ordered to leave White House without signing minerals deal after Oval Office clash with Trump

  • Just when you thought you couldn’t get any more embarrassed being an American.

    This is a great window into how Trump, Vance and MAGA do business.

    Bully. Yell. Lie. Threaten.

  • He knows. They can smell their own.

  • Nancy Pelosi Gets a Surprising New Primary Challenger

    Jump

  • Good.

    Much like the appeasers that enabled Hitler, history is going to look back on Pelosi, Schumer, Kamala, Biden, Obama, Clinton, Jefferies, and other democrats who stood by and let all this happen on their watch without so much as a wimper.

  • Mom of Sam Nordquist, transgender man tortured and killed in New York, slams police response

    Jump

  • Unconvinced, Linda and Kayla Nordquist asked New York State Police Troop E to file a missing person's report. They said a state trooper declined.

    "She said I need to stop watching so much TV, something about it not being a true crime episode," Kayla said. "I need to stop watching so much TV and that they don't pass out missing people flyers."

  • Eric Adams and NYC sue Trump over $80 million in FEMA migrant funds

    Jump

  • I feel like "later rescinded" makes it sound like all the other aid that just got cancelled.

    This case is more egregious and frankly scary.

    The funds were in the city's bank account, and the Trump administration went into that bank account and took the money back without telling the city.

  • Trump threatens tariffs on any nation that taxes Big Tech

    Jump

  • It's almost like Trump when to a seminar on the incredible healing power of tariffs, and believed every word he heard.

  • Late this fall, after all of the nonsense on Reddit, Facebook, and Instagram I asked myself a very simple question.

    "Is the reason I joined these sites still valid? What do I actually enjoy about social media these days?"

    The answer was basically "rose colored glasses."

    I joined **Reddit **after the 'deaths' of Slashdot and Digg. It became my source to get new and interesting content I probably wouldn't have found otherwise. Now it's bots arguing with bots and 75+% of the content is just recycled shit by people trying to make money. Much of the rest is from people trying to manipulate you.

    Delete.

    I joined Facebook to keep in touch with my friends and family - especially those I don't see often. Over time, the amount of good content from people I knew dropped to maybe 25% of my feed. Most of it now is AI-generated bullshit or more of the same recycled content you see on Reddit.

    Delete.

    I joined Instagram to share some of my landscape photos and view some of the great photos some close friends were sharing. Over time that became less and less. Queue the recycled and AI-bullshit content.

    Delete.

    So, I challenge everybody to ask themselves do they actually enjoy social media? Do these sites actually add value to your life and in any way remain true to their promise when you joined them so many moons ago. Are you actually making any connections with people? The 'social' in 'social' media? Or just watching people talk at each other, not to each other.

    After answering those questions, the answer about whether to stick around is pretty clear.

  • How Trump’s Directives Echo Project 2025

    Jump

  • It's interesting that the Project 2025 text spells out diversity, equity and inclusion, while the executive order just says DEI.

    I 100 percent thing folks need to push back on the blanket use of 'DEI' because they're trying to make it mean the same as 'woke.'

    I'm sure there's a number of mouthbreathers out there who'll say they're against DEI, but if you ask "you mean diversity, equity and inclusion?" they'll back pedal.

  • Mercedes also includes a number of items as a subscription in some countries. Some stuff is app related. Others are things like getting full use of your rear-steering wheels and unlocking extra horsepower.
