  • Is ironing clothes significantly less common now?

    跳过

  • Not OP, but I saw this at an old-school Fortune 500. To get Casual Fridays, you had to donate a certain amount to a specific charity (ours was a local food bank). It wasn't a lot, something like $25/quarter, but it was definitely an expense

  • Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun

    跳过

  • A credit card the account is with visa, tho it may be managed by your bank thanks to partnerships and bank end integration. Depending on the circumstances you actually will be directed by your bank to contact visa or who ever directly or be forwarded by your bank.

    Do you have a source on this? Because it directly contradicts EVERYTHING I have ever experienced. Visa is a payment processor, but more as a middleman. I've even been redirected (through automated systems) back to my bank when making a purchase using a Visa card. Any disputes are handled by bank. You can't get a Visa card without going through a bank. My debit card has a MC logo and can be used as such, but it's also my ATM card.

    Your point about debit vs credit is valid, though possibly more convoluted than needed. On credit, it's someone else's money in limbo, until the bill is paid.

  • Facial recognition error: Customer misidentified by Sainsbury's

    跳过

  • Your math is off, by two decimal places.

  • Memory Express trying to claim a 2TB ssd is "$470 off"

    跳过

  • I Test Drove a Chinese EV. Now I Don’t Want to Buy American Cars Anymore.

    跳过

  • It matches what the Ford CEO said about the same (or at least very similar) car. Was that also Chinese propaganda?

  • Substack won't let me in without verifying age, and VPN doesn't work; any ideas?

    跳过

  • There are a number of indicators for where someone is from that might be visible to site operators, far beyond a simple IP address. You could try an incognito window (because cookies), as well as changing your region settings.

    Beyond that, try spinning up a VM (VMware has a free version, as do many others). Install a fresh OS on it, always pretending to be in whatever your destination country is. Install the (e.g) UK keyboard, select a UK timezone, etc. Install your VPN right away, before opening a browser.

  • Elon Musk says Tesla ending Models S and X production, converting Fremont factory lines to make Optimus robots

    跳过

  • Let's keep this announcement in perspective. They're still making the Model Y and Model 3. The S and X, listed under "Other models", were less than 5% of deliveries in 2024. In 2025, it dropped to just 3.1%. No idea about profits or anything, just units sold

  • Stephen Colbert says the Late Show's series finale will air on May 21, the conclusion of a franchise that launched in 1993 with David Letterman

    跳过

  • His character (also named Stephen Colbert) was specifically and primarily based on Bill O'Reilly, who was not pretending. It's why Stephen often referred to Bill as "Papa Bear"

  • God smites 89 Bolsonaro supporters today

    跳过

  • Strictly from a physics/electrical standpoint, I'd like more information on how a single lightning strike can hit 89 people. Shouldn't it have followed the single fastest path to ground, and hit 1 person?

  • What if you printed all of Wikipedia?

    跳过

  • Why would you even do the calculations based on inkjet printers? Even at a simple glance, inkjet is the wrong solution. While they acknowledge at the end that laser would be the way, that was clearly an afterthought and not calculated into anything.

  • Minnesota State Legislature Special Election Results 2026

    跳过

  • I would say that Trump is one result of the media having been destroyed long ago

  • Number of US-style pickup trucks on UK roads up 92% in a decade, data shows

    跳过

  • I'll accept 4WD as a requirement, but why does it need to be a large truck? Wouldn't an AWD car, like a Subaru or VW, work just as well?

  • Kristi Noem set to testify before Senate amid Minneapolis backlash: Report

    跳过

  • Congress can use her refusals as reasons to impeach. Impeachment doesn't need to follow the same rules nor evidence as a court.

  • Is OpenAI dead yet?

    跳过

  • I just want to add that the crash will take down the entire economy, not just AI and tech companies.

    Simply by subtracting AI companies from the equation, the US is already in a pretty substantial recession. The process of them crashing out will make that even worse.

  • OnePlus update blocks downgrades and custom ROMs by blowing a fuse

    跳过

  • Why would they start with the harder one? Samsung is much better funded, and therefore will be a much more difficult case.

    And no, it does not matter that Samsung did it first.

  • Cuban-born immigrant died of homicide at ICE facility in Texas, autopsy finds

    跳过

  • There are a number of reasons why someone can die from homicide in the medical sense, but not the legal sense. For instance, self-defense.

    Most places have some variation on these types of homicide:

    1. Aggravated homicide, where the murder was planned
    2. 2nd degree homicide, where it wasn't planned but could reasonably be foreseen (e.g. savagely beating someone with a bat)
    3. Voluntary manslaughter/negligent homicide, such as knowingly driving a car with malfunctioning brakes
    4. Involuntary manslaughter, such as losing control of your car because of ice.

    There's also situations where it isn't a crime at all, but would still be medically homicide. I mentioned self-defense, but someone could get shot by a hunter because they were in the woods without an orange vest. There's also certain cases where it's legal for police to shoot someone, due to an active threat.

    All of these would be medically homicide, but only some would be called murder.

  • RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously!

    跳过

  • This is basically the exact scenario that led me to detail that I was only talking about consumer gear. Server gear is a very different beast, with a variety of tradeoffs that I didn't want to get into. For instance, I'm assuming you can only use Registered RAM.

  • Microsoft Gave FBI BitLocker Encryption Keys, Exposing Privacy Flaw

    跳过

  • Most (US) companies don't consider the US government to be a significant risk to their business, partly because they're already subject to it.

    They also commonly believe that Microsoft can secure these keys more effectively than they could do so in-house. And they're probably right.

    Now, it's an entirely different story for any companies not subject to US law.

  • RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously!

    跳过

  • The biggest problem with DDR3 is that the last (consumer) boards/CPUs that could use it are really, REALLY old. 5th-gen Intel or AM3 AMD. Which means you're looking at a full decade old, at the newest. These boards also probably can't do more than 32GB.

    Now, I suppose if you only need 32GB RAM and a CPU that's pathetic by modern standards, then this is a viable path. But that's going to be a very small group of people.
