Its been so long since ive had or bought a tv, what are the brands that are the least shitty now? I used to always be a samsung everything kinda guy but fuck them now. I wish they never started fucking around with software and stuck to just hardware. Their products from strictly the hardware side are still excellent. My zfold7 is amazing the older gens started rickety but each version i got (so the 3, the 5 and the 7) has been a respectible improvement but the 7 really stepped up the quality. The last samsung tv i got was like 65" curved screen amazing picture but the fucking interface was pure cancer and i will not buy another. My samsung 4k monitors, non-smart normal fridge, and my equally as dumb oven are great and dont have any stupid shit so Ill buy more dumb samsung products lol.

My uneducated opinion of this is: they couldnt write legislature that could define piracy in a way that makes it illegal for the public to use so why does eveyone think they will have comprehensive legislation defining age verification or liability for enforcing it?

When NY State wrote the original SAFE act regulating gun control, a topic that is almost common knowledge for most americnans, they fuckin excluded high capacity magazines because the politician’s staff who write legislative frameworks thought magazines were “disposable” so they thought banning the sale of them would phase out the magazines that were already bought and owned. THE FUCKING FRAME WORK WAS BUILT AROUND THESE ASSHATS WATCHING 80’S AND 90’S ACTION FILMS AND SEEING PEOPLE THROW DOWN MAGAZINES FOR EVERY FUCKIN RELOAD!!!

With drugs? Use it all now. Its how you avoid chemical addictions. Stretching out your drugs so you have a little every day in fear of running out is how a little bit every day turns into a lot everyday witbout noticing. Whereas something like percocets that you get from someone filling a script once a month, you do them all the weekend you get them and dont do any for the next 28 days, and youll be able to stiff arm any chemical dependencies at a distance for far longer.

You know this is a chart of the ages most likely to participate in a survey not necessarily a representation of the avg age of users, right? Especially depending on how many days the survey ran for because Lemmy is far less likely to see daily user activity than a facebook/reddit/twitter. Its just not big enough to generate enough content to fill daily use needs. Not talking shit just reflecting on what ive seen thru daily active user reports and content volume.

Id trade the skill of knowing how many carbs are in any dish with the skill to naturally release insulin to process the carbs of any dish. Or am i trading a skill for a perk?

Still better than microsoft support channels thosp ill take it.!

Yeah, you know, except for the entirety of engineering degree fields. Everything is still done to one thousandth of an inch.

Speedball lines of opiates and cocaine.

So a friend of a friend of a friend recently started actively stealing from amazon. Only amazon supplied products. Never 3rd party sellers. Some examples being, buying expenxive ram sticks of the same.make model and trim as a cheaper size and speed ram sticks they own, delicately removing the OEM sticker from the expensive ram and putting it on the cheap ram, packaging it all back up and issuing a return to amazon for full balance of the expensive ram.

Or requesting reacents be sent for not recieving deliveries for orders with pictures of the delivery on their amazon account as proof. That one only started once the friend of a friend of a friend realized they tasked their dumbass AI bot to handle returns so they started feeding everynorder ino it.

Or repurchasing duplicates of anything that breaks no matter how long in between initial and duplicate purchases, re-boxing the broken shit and keeping the good shit, and returning the broken shit with the reason for return being anythjng but product damaged so as to not trigger detailed inspection.

They have not gone far out of their way to hide any lf this. At most they regurgitate some response that fits the return’s terms amd conditions paramters for acceptable return as a small white lie.

The after effects of all this have been wonderful for the friend of a friend of a friend. They sleep well at night knowing Amazon themselves are eating the costs for all this. That plus the fact that all their scams have been for price inflated hardware driven by the AI datacenter whores, of whome Amazon is one of the ones leading the charge. They also are at minimum to no risk for being caught on most scams because most shit they can just respond, “oh shit my bad i sent you guys the wrong one. They were side by side and i mustve grabbed the wrong one.” In which case they then return the actual most recent purchase and are back to where they were before the scam they got busted on.

But the GREATEST outcome is the amount of fucking attention Amazon now pays to every single one of their orders now. No matter how big or small. Drivers must collect delivery code for every order so no more damaged boxes. No more stolen packages, albiet not amazon’s fault. They havent had a single case of lost or delayed delivery, everything is on time with the estimated delivery date at purchase. Which is saying skmething when you live in the wintery boondocks. And ontop of all that, anytime they have to reqch out to Amazon they get a fuckin call from a real fuckin person at Amazon cuz they assume everything is an attempt to scam.

Fuckin friend of a friend of a friend is sitting on brand new 128gb 8000 ram, ryzen 9 995x3d, the best mobo on the market, half a full on grow op worth of 800w full spectrum grow lights. All for less than $30 in postage for some of the returns. I filed this information into my file for unethical life protips right next to “Untill something changes and it affects your credit, only an idiot pays back medical debt in the US.”

I mean i read the court dociments. Did you? Did I miss something?

Really? What kind of take away are you looking for asking anonymous individuals to provide their own opinions based on their own experiences to formulate a blanketed conclusion for how they think every single person will act unanimously in an ungoverned society?

This would only work if the information you are looking for was to see how an individual thinks the hivemind would operate if everyone was like the show Pluribus.

Im sure this thread will get pumped full of anti-cop rhetoric, that im not saying is wrong, but the fact of the matter is, every real world scenario is am exclusive pccurance between the parties involved and every single enviromental variable in play at the time of the occurance.

Its like asking if ypu need bouncer at the bar or if everyone at the bar always gets along. WHO THE FUCK KNOWS?!?! LOL

Jesus fucking christ so the fucking idiots really full on dont even try to test any of the shit they facefuck into 1.4 billion innocent pc’s with every update they release.

There is no wqay this lawsuit wins. Maybe if her fucking lawsuit actually addressed that the gambling is targeting underage players but instead it just states gambling in new york is illegal… exc3pt certain exceptions which are the ficking lottery, sportsbook gambling, casinos, fantasy sports, bingo halls, bazaars, and race track gambling. But thats just what i could come up with off the top of my head. If i can play fantasy football using services that dont carry all the regulations sports books do, then I dont see how they can enforce this lawsuit for video games.

Itd be great if it won but im not guna shit in one hand and wish for this lawsuit to pass in the other to see which fills up first.

Someone needs to come up with a better argument other than “threat to your privacy.” People that understand the concept of security/privacy already are in that boat. People that dont, never will.

Weve hit the point of cigarettes. You can report all the studies you want about the risks and damages done by smoking but when 99% of the population knows its bad but still smokes anyways, its time to find thr cyber security version of taxing the evwr living shit out of it to force wveryone who doesnt care into caring.

Maybe our goverments should spend more effort to determine if it’s citizens are even just alive or dead to put a dent in the half a trillion dollars the fed govt pays out to dead citizens they dont know are dead. Then we can maybe talk about how the fuck these idionts are guna conrirm th3 age of their living citizens.

Or hey heres another thought, use this effort to design a better consumer price index which is currently a huge guess of economic status based on the most minimal of factors of the tiniest sample sizes of data.

Super old school folk/country western or other older clasic rock. Its got its stigmas and opinions but if you control your Playlist library then id recommend adding the generic artists like Kat Steven, Willie Nelson, Dylan or stretch out to other mega-artists from that gen like the Beatles. Everyone knows their name and knows their billboard br3akers but theyr library is sooo deep with artists like that, there will absolutely be songs you never heard that sound better than their chary toppers.

My last recommendation: go down the limit Hendricks live recordings, rabbit hole.

If you are like me you might write off most rge artist ive named as being too… idk… legendary. But what ive found empirically, is that even the worst songs from great artists are better than any great song by an average to good artist.

Nothing is cooler than the letter “elemenoh.” Lol (L, M, N, O)

Individuals write shit online. Individuals of similar mindsets group together online. Neither is an appropriate representation of their entire gender’s mindset. You hate an opinion not a gender.
