  • Mike Lindell officially loses all his lawyers in $5M 'Prove Mike Wrong' cyber challenge

  • History will probably unveil one of the largest psychological operations ever perpetrated by foreign actors in order to dismantle a hegemony and it'll be clear as day. In a couple decades everyone will act at though it was totally obvious that in less than 10 years the 'common sense' rural folk decided to worship someone with used car salesman ethics and elect his entourage of unqualified nincompoops, none of which have enough intuition to start a lawnmower

  • CDC warns of disruptions to ADHD meds after $100M fraud arrest

    Jump

  • There's another side of the coin due to that: when faced with scarcity some people tend to adjust their medication, taking half dosage in order to ration for example, and given the addictive qualities, probably not good for some of those people to wind up with a lack of structure in regard to adhering to the dosage and a surplus of amphetamines.

    It'd be interesting to see some studies come out looking into any correlation between disruptions in supply and negative outcomes due to addiction

  • Microsoft accidentally lists the benefits of not using a Microsoft account on Windows 11

    Jump

  • The pros are pros IMO. I'm not a fan of my desktop files clogging up my other computers and if the easiest way is through local accounts I'll do just that and deprive Microsoft of trying to sell me on the functionality of their suite of subscriptions. No loss to me

  • Steve Bannon asks appeals court to keep him out of prison due to his importance in Trump’s campaign

    Jump

  • "Keep me out of prison so I can be allowed the opportunity to do the same kinds of shit that got me in this pickle in the first place"

  • EVs Could Last Nearly Forever—If Car Companies Let Them

    Jump

  • Pretty much this, diagnosing and fixing an electric motor is about as difficult as an alternator. Check signal, if good remove unit and swap (core gets remanufactured). With drive by wire and steer by wire and all that most things are equally modular. Gas pedal/throttle unit is pretty much a rheostat with a spring-loaded pedal, steering rack actuators, etc

    Then you got ICE which becomes a ship of theseus. If you put enough hours on a combustion engine you go from the simple stuff like hoses and timing belts to having to replace piston rings, bearings, or even the cylinder heads if they get so worn out that they leak and fail compression tests

  • Alex Jones says Infowars could be shut down within hours

    Jump

  • Should add the word 'allegedly' everywhere. After seeing Trump's alleged campaign haul after conviction it'd probably be hard for this clown not to try to pull his follower's strings for a quick buck

  • A YouTuber let the Cybertruck close on his finger to test the new sensor update. It didn't go well.

    Jump

  • I would have preferred a 'will it blend' format with the ultimate test being the Cybertruck's own keyfob (you have one job!)

  • A YouTuber let the Cybertruck close on his finger to test the new sensor update. It didn't go well.

  • Man youtubers are dumb as hell. Use a stick or something

  • Why people are boycotting Asus all of a sudden? Asus outrage explained

    Jump

  • I never open a video where 3 or less paragraphs of text would suffice. I feel like we're heading back to drawing things on the walls of caves

  • Reddit embracing all out enshittification

    Jump

  • Next stop: advertisers pushing product placement into generative images, and generative images with product placement littering image searches. It's a pandora's box we can't close

  • YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps

    Jump

  • Not only monetization but also the whole sorting/ranking algorithms. Youtube is a bit better than Facebook reels and instagram due to the thumbs down button, but some people go out of their way to make nonsensical garbage because viewers will then comment, and there's no way to tell if a video is good or bad based solely on engagement. Those videos where people have some DIY hack to clean a toilet bowl and they just pour random condiments in the toilet for 3 minutes and cut the video before any conclusion, those types of videos

  • As bans spread, fluoride in drinking water divides communities across the US

    Jump

  • On a more positive note if they lose their teeth they might have less luck at reproduction. Problem fixes itself, fingers crossed

  • Progress!

    Jump

  • I wouldn't want to see how someone would react after going through something like that. Sounds like a supervillain origin story or some shit. "Jokes on you, it was a simulation! Now grab your stuff, you are free to go!"

  • I was thinking Diablo 2 is gonna be rendered unplayable. It'll probably view "IL" in "SKILL" or a rune or small charm as a pause symbol and make it so you can't open your inventory

    Edit: Oh shit, the 'II' in Diablo II

  • France votes to ban ‘forever chemicals,’ exempting frying pans

    Jump

  • It's not planned obsolescence but something remarkably similar. They can be made for cheaper, go to shit eventually, then they wind up in a landfill while the consumer buys yet another. All wrapped up in slick marketing.

  • New open source GPU is free to all — FuryGPU runs Quake at 60fps, supports modern Windows software

    Jump

  • There used to be dip switches on some older machines (386/486 era), eventually 'turbo buttons' that accomplished the same thing, toggling would cut the clock speed so older software would be compatible with clock speed. Those turbo buttons were more a 'valet mode' than anything, but it all died out before the Pentium/Athlon era to say the least

  • Oregon governor signs nation’s first right-to-repair bill that bans parts pairing

  • Next up: printer ink??
