That's fair. I forget about my US centric mindset at times.

You're forgetting the primary reason, power. Show up so I can watch you or you can starve. They want to control you.

And now they know they can do it without consequences.

The bitch of it is waiting for them to get back or spending $80 on a backup pair while you wait.

Just FYI, getting them repaired is 100% free. It was their part of a class action lawsuit. You make a report, print out the label, ship it and wait.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to look at his glasses.

Yup, and trying to remember that in an already intense situation. That's why people drown and burn to death in their Tesla. Oh, bonus point, you can't use it to test it, because it's one time use and breaks the automatic locking system.

I think it's brilliant. Good luck spoofing my 1,200 hours of Mario Kart and 1,000 hours of Splatoon scalpers!

I have toilet paper for most of it and a fan to dry the rest of the way on mine.

I think local voice to text algorithms have gotten pretty freaking accurate. You'd need a way to activate listen, send it over the router, then receive the output signal to an Arduino/Raspberry Pi to switch something on or off. I'm sure it's not terribly difficult to design, but I bet the subscription model is so lucrative no one with the know how would offer a local version.

Be the change you seek.

 

Text from article:

David Rice, a disabled Army paratrooper who has been on probation since joining the U.S. Department of Energy in September, also learned Thursday night that he had lost his job.

Rice, who has been working as a foreign affairs specialist on health matters relating to radiation exposure, said he’d been led to believe that his job would likely be safe. But on Thursday night, when he logged into his computer for a meeting with Japanese representatives, he saw an email saying he’d been fired.

“It’s just been chaos,” said Rice, 50, who had just bought a house in Melbourne, Florida, after he got the job.

Rice said he agrees with the Trump administration’s goal of making the government more efficient, but objects to the random, scattershot approach being taken.

The post immediately after is a group photo of Moms For Liberty, a radically stupid and racist group of KKKarens smiling with dead eyes.

 

The "startup repair" Macrium offers is garbage and won't even load, so while I have all my data, I don't have an OS...

I appreciate any insights!
