  • Investigators wrangled video from Nancy Guthrie’s Google Nest camera out of ‘backend systems’

  • They weren’t doing disk level data recovery for this. At best it’s a backup but I suspect it’s just “back end” as in “we have it but the customer can’t see it until they pay for a subscription”

  • It’s just a higher ride height, and we recognize the pollution that driving a car across a stream can cause. Nothing particularly challenging about the depth shown here.

  • It’s pretty fucking difficult to be “balanced” when one side is publishing verifiable falsehoods as truth.

  • There’s a lot of value to teaching kids the value of their time - and how little they get for it.

    The “worked harder in school because of manual labour” didn’t work for me though.

  • I don’t expect the same would happen if the person wasn’t related to a TV personality.

    Also, this brings into question whether deleted data is in fact deleted.

  • In defence of child labour

    Jump

  • The article isn’t about child labour specifically, but part time jobs for teens. Technically, child labour, but not really the same as a 8 year old coal miner or loom operator. Good click bait!

    I worked through my teens but with some important caveats. I worked next to my boss every day, and they started before me and finished after me. I worked outdoors, in relatively decent weather. I was able to take vacation as I desired - even though I only had a few weeks to work, I still was able to take 2 weeks of vacation.

    I don’t think my kids will be able to have a similar experience (given my location and market forces), and I don’t want them to grind away their leisure time at minimum wage working in a shitty retail environment with unpredictable hours. When I was working, (50-60hrs a week for the summer) the sum total of my all my teen years up to university didn’t cover the first year’s rent. I hope that I’ll be able to find suitable activities, volunteer opportunities, and learning experiences that they can participate in instead of a job.

    It can’t be real.

  • Is ironing clothes significantly less common now?

    Jump

  • No suit, shirts, and tie for the office grunts anymore. Lululemon plastic also doesn’t really take to ironing.

  • Wow. Blast from the past. I see znc is still a thing too

  • Tesla’s Head of North American Sales Out After Just Over Six Months, With Canadian Sales Down 60%+

    Jump

  • It’s fucking hilarious that you have to point out that “my wife doesn’t have problems opening the glovebox” as if that’s a problem in any other conventional car. Pull lever. Open glovebox. No sub-menu required. No tech bro wanking on the screen.

  • What product do you buy even though you know it's overpriced?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I just don’t have the time or interest to spend weekends messing around with the device I need to stay in touch with work and family. It’s just not worth it. De-googling android is just way too much work.

    The majority of the android base are dirt cheap phones in third world countries serving as data collection and advertising platforms to communities that can’t afford anything else.

  • What product do you buy even though you know it's overpriced?

    Jump

  • Also you are the product from data collection, the device's planned obsolescence/inability to be repaired, surcharges for in-iOS transactions, and so on, but I guess that's not the exact framework of this question.

    Better. Than. Android.

    But the margins are obscene for sure.

  • As a private person doing nothing illegal, is there value to having a VPN?

    Jump

  • A) if you trust your ISP less than you trust the VPN provider. Think about that for a bit, because there’s a lot of marketing from VPN providers about how they protect privacy, but how much of it is true? Most browsing data is encrypted today anyways. B) you want to pretend you’re in another country for licensing reasons. C) you travel to places where you don’t trust your ISP and/or use free wifi.

  • Buying protein in bulk saves a lot over the supplement store.

    I buy iPhones. I’m not sure they’re overpriced but they sure are pricey.

  • Well, it’s not a good car but the panels line up and it has buttons for wipers, lights, and shit like they. It does only get 250mi range.

  • In Austria, you can go from Unterfucking to Oberfucking, stop by Fucking (now Fugging), and then spend the rest of your trip doing Hochecks.

  • There’s also the Fucker family. At one point they controlled 2% of Europe’s GDP. They changed their name to Fugger too, for some reason.

    They were the ones selling the indulgences that led Martin Luther to kick off Protestantism.

    At one point (I can’t find the reference now) they effectively owned parts of South America as well.
