  • Panasonic, the former plasma king, will no longer make its own TVs

    Jump

  • I miss my old plasma, that TV was fantastic. Such a shame that movers broke it.

  • California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves

    Jump

  • If it involves firearms then the law, constitution and existing precedent mean nothing to the 9th Circuit of Appeals. When it comes to guns, no right is too important to not invalidate to prevent guns.

  • Father faces no charges for fatally shooting daughter after fight about Donald Trump

    Jump

  • I’m a fan of grip safeties but I still want some form of manual switch I can use to render the gun safe. I honestly think that the FN Five seveN is the best solution but standard 1911 thumb safety (or an HK version with decocker) does the job just fine.

  • Father faces no charges for fatally shooting daughter after fight about Donald Trump

    Jump

  • A safety exists to prevent human error. Not touching the trigger doesn’t solve this.

    The primary argument of “you might forget to disengage it in the heat of the moment” is complete bullshit. If you can’t reliably disengage a safety you can’t reliably not pull the trigger during a draw, shooting yourself in the femoral artery or hand. Either you practice your draw until it’s muscle memory or you don’t, removing safety features to simplify the process doesn’t make you safer.

  • Well glocks don’t have safeties and require you to pull the trigger to disassemble. Negligent discharges when trying to show them off to people absolutely do happen, and with how you have to hold the gun to take it apart the “don’t point at anything you don’t wish to shoot” rule gets overlooked a lot.

    They’re the default “modern” handgun but I’ve always said they are a terrible design.

  • British Woman Shot Dead by Father After Arguing About Donald Trump

    Jump

  • This, I always get slammed for it in gun communities but I think Glock convincing everyone that pistols don’t need safeties (and later that safeties are a liability) is the single most dangerous action in the gun community in my lifetime. Safeties aren’t there to keep the gun from firing on its own, that’s just any modern gun that doesn’t malfunction, they exist as a final measure against human error.

    If you buy a gun without a safety and allow anything to touch the trigger when it’s pointed at something you are not fully comfortable with shooting, you are negligent.

  • Japan cancels cherry blossom festival over complaints of tourists littering and ‘defecating’ in yards

    Jump

  • You would be surprised what percentage of the world, even those with access to air travel, aren’t that familiar with a western or Japanese toilet. Now shitting on someone’s yard is a different issue all together but I’ve seen plenty of hotels with signage in the bathroom of how to use the toilet and specifying that you need to be in the shower when taking a shower.

  • Your favourite politician who's not in the Epstein files?

    Jump

  • That’s just not how airports work when the secret service is controlling them. The VIPs have basically no say in how they get anywhere. They say where they’re going and everything is set up based on the USSS.

  • Your favourite politician who's not in the Epstein files?

    Jump

  • Secret service controls all of that for every POTUS/VPOTUS. The select which airport in each area works best for their security measures and the ground stops are standard and nothing the VP or any other passenger on the plane has control over.

  • 'I'll believe it when I see it': Windows 11 users are cynical about Microsoft's promises to fix the OS and stop pushing AI

    Jump

  • The improvement is you’re less likely to use your computer the way you want to instead of the way Micro$lop wants to tell investors you could use it in a way beneficial to them.

  • 'I'll believe it when I see it': Windows 11 users are cynical about Microsoft's promises to fix the OS and stop pushing AI

    Jump

  • Yeah, I just don’t trust it so I don’t use it. I have one drive storage and use it, but only on my phone and via the website. I don’t let it touch my windows install because it’s just waaaaaay too aggressive.

  • 'I'll believe it when I see it': Windows 11 users are cynical about Microsoft's promises to fix the OS and stop pushing AI

    Jump

  • I do not because I have never installed windows 11 on a computer personally. I tediously forced all my windows 10 installs to local accounts and forcibly clawed back my local folders on my old laptop after one drive stole everything. I’m also still super skeptical about how “easy” it is to avoid one drive “integration” on windows 11.

  • 'I'll believe it when I see it': Windows 11 users are cynical about Microsoft's promises to fix the OS and stop pushing AI

    Jump

  • Needs more than just backing off AI to get me to upgrade my backup windows 10 installations (only use them for things Linux can’t do).

    Control panel/settings needs to be fixed and they can fuck right off with one drive. Every file should be on my computer unless I specifically save to a clearly designated cloud drive. No cloud functions should ever touch files I have saved (by default) to my computer. Also unfuck the start and explorer menus and give me back my pinball.

    After that we can talk, but I’m still skeptical.

  • People espousing that unions don't work should have a look at police unions.

    Jump

  • Are you going to argue that police unions are a net good? They are the reason we have impenetrable qualifed immunity for even ridiculously egregious misconduct and any time a cop is shown to actually go over the absurdly strict line of what they can be held legally accountable for, the unions protect them at all costs. The reason criminal cops can just get hired at any other PD and their past is covered up/ignored is the police unions. I’m not saying they don’t do good things, but the bad they do is way too much to overlook.

    With the legal authority police have, they need to be held to higher standards than the average person, instead the unions voraciously fight to ensure there are virtually zero standards for police conduct.

  • What next, power supply shortages?

    Jump

  • I spent months trying to get my GPU, I finally got it and settled on my ram figuring “I’ll just wait a year or so then upgrade when there are better options.” Whelp, there goes that plan.

  • After RAM and SSDs, PSUs and CPU coolers are next in line for price hikes

    Jump

  • So glad I built mine last year. I still wish I had gotten a bit more ram but I didn’t realize that the price gouging I was fighting at the time was just the beginning.
