Is this the most bizarre thing?


Prolly not, the 80's were a crazy time in Japanese electronics, but I gotta say this is definitely a contender


Back in 1979 Sharp made this 'RaTeCaPuter' - Radio, Television, Cassette "Boombox" and, most excitingly, comPuter!

Why does Denmark consistently rank among the happiest countries despite having some of the highest taxes in the world?

You guys are obsessed with the tax rate, but you ignore the Life Rate.

If you add up your taxes + health insurance + co-pays + tuition + daycare + retirement savings... you are paying way more than we are.

We just pay one bill and get everything included.

You are paying five different bills and getting nothing.

Microsoft email asking me to verify my age on an account I registered 20 years ago to prove I'm over 18.
You know what? I don't actually need Xbox Live. Certainly don't need to have my driving licence on the internet.

I grew up reading Calvin & Hobbes, and one of my favorite running jokes was the snowmen that Calvin would build. – @theknucklehead on Tumblr

Name and shame every one of these fuckers. And never forget, Trump was best buds with the guy at the center of the pedophile ring.

I don't do really do boycotts, but being anti-consumer, no company gets much of my money, and when I do have a source choice, while local isn't much of an option here, I certainly will use the best choice possible, and price isn't a driving factor there unless there's a huge difference.

@Mark Wollschlager You mean buying from them? In our household, we've only bought one Intel computer in the last 5 years, my husband's Ace magic which might become my main computer once I test drive it, his last two main computers were Apple devices, and mine AMD Lenovo units. I did buy a pair of used Intel based POS units, but I don't think they count.

Time will tell if'n they'll actually do this, but hopefully they will

Something that hasn't been made clear: Firefox will have an option to completely disable all AI features.

We've been calling it the AI kill switch internally. I'm sure it'll ship with a less murderous name, but that's how seriously and absolutely we're taking this.


in reply to 🌴 Seph 💭 👾

I read that thread yesterday. I would rather they make any AI stuff an extension that had to be added and approved rather than opting out.
If they come through with a one click "we pinky swear it's all off" 'kill switch' then maybe.
It has been a bit of a drag having to look through the settings and about:config to check for new checkboxes to deselect ai tidbits.

So someone posted their favorite sign over on Mastodon, and I replied with what is my favorite sign, the 'No Straight' sign.

First time I saw this was on a new intersection where one side is a highway ramp, and the other a two-way road, apparently 'Do Not Enter' signs weren't enough, so they put one of these up. Honestly, I'm surprised to know its a standard, Missouri isn't exactly known for sticking to standards, whether its abbreviations like LA for lane, or the non-standard all text signs on the road to my house announcing the road closure ahead and the truck ban on it.

Shame, but not really surprising, I mean starting at $60K and that was with a rebate AFAIK? Yeah, it was doomed from day one.
