Pretty sure this is the same shit that blew up in the Beirut port. I wouldn’t let a Russian ship full of that shit into my port.

Since people keep commenting on how it looks. Here they are. That way you don’t have to give that cretin more clicks.

A guy I went to HS with did it in '05 on Halloween. Ironically also dressed as 50 cent which is supposedly what this guy was going for (the guy from my HS pulled it off way better tank top, bulletproof vest, doo rag and in shape vs whatever this guy was going for) The kid was fairly popular, and had a lot of black friends that gave him the OK to do it. No one really cared. If anything people couldn’t believe it was him because he pulled it off so well. That guy can never get into politics now though, as I’m sure someone would dig up that photo.

You know what? My sister has early hearing loss and now wears hearing aids. I’ve never thought about it, but honestly, the modern hearing aids could absolutely be used as an espionage device. They are hardly noticeable, Bluetooth enabled, and have microphones in them. I’m sure the post in the OP was an innocent civilian, but I genuinely wonder if that’s something the letter agencies have considered and / or do with informants.

I have no idea how Samsung phones are so popular. They are aesthetically pleasing I guess, but their insistence on bloat ware has driven me away since day 1. I almost got the 1 bloat free phone they ever made which was the S4 Google Play edition, but opted for the HTC One Google Play edition instead. Since then, every phone has been loaded with unremovable garbage apps that you can’t get rid of without rooting. I refuse to buy a phone with garbage apps that no one uses with the sole purpose of data collection. Say what you will about Google (I know) but at least their apps are helpful.

My mom has a Samsung Smart TV that recently kept turning on by itself to play their shitty TV+app which was pre installed on the TV, and never once opened (not on purpose at least) by anyone in the household. Apparently this is a common issue. I had to disconnect it completely from the internet, perform a factory reset, sign her Samsung account out, and plug in a Chromecast to replace the UI of the TV just to get everything working for her, and not waste electricity by having the TV randomly turn on every 30 minutes. It’s one thing if they were bloating their UI with good apps, but forcing a bunch of absolutely useless apps onto us is ridiculous.

Google lens is a thing

Okay

You’re right. Next time I should just let business daddy Delta take my $700. I can’t believe I was so foolish to call them on their bullshit.

Side note. Please don’t rent your modem / router through Comcast or any other ISP. They are so cheap now. If the ISP is charging even $5 / month, (I think it’s more now but back when I bought mine, I believe that’s what they were charging) that’s $60 / year. A modem is $50 for a decent DOCSIS 3.0 that supports gig speed. Routers are not that expensive either, and very easy to set up. If you buy the hardware, it’s a one time expense. The rentals you are paying for in perpetuity.

Just had to deal with this with Delta. They moved my flight to a way shittier route. When they do that or make significant schedule changes, you can get your money back even on the “non refundable” tickets. I cancelled and opted for a full refund. Delta sent an email that they were refunding my card. 2 weeks goes by, and no refund. I had to call, lie about the reason for my call so I could get to a human because any time I said what I actually was calling for it would kick me to an automated system that couldn’t solve my problem. I think I said I was buying a ticket or something. Then after 45 minutes hold time, get transferred, to another 15 minute hold. Eventually got to talk with someone and got my money back, but FFS, 3 weeks and a 1+ hour phone call to fix their fuck up is ridiculous.

I swear it already was, and fell off like a lot in recent months?

The chart is unreadable.

I replaced my mom’s can lights with LEDs and I was an early adopter. I believe it was ~2012-15 ish. Not a single one has died. The only reason any of them fail now is poor quality and / or planned obsolescence. The tech itself is solid AF. I had some bulbs I got from IKEA for $1. Those have failed countless times.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. 2001 or whatever I guess

I think people were mad about the avatar one or whatever that movie is.

Bullshit on Parade!
