  • And if the only people willing to work for the tyrant only kids the ring, it will take a long while for someone to stop his worse actions, if anyone ever does.

    I don’t believe in heros, they were just brave enough or dumb enough and in the right place to do some good. And that might actually describe this guy. But still just a flawed person.

    I absolutely disagree with much of what Liz Cheney supports, but I’ll still give her props for serving on the J6 committee knowing what it could mean for her career.



  • Subscription based navigation? Want to use your car’s navigation system, there’s a fee for that? Want to fly a drone, that’ll be 9.99/month. Hopefully there will be a carve out for emergency systems.

    This will also allow Tesla to up their traffic game. If everyone is using the Starlink GPS for navigation they’ll have all the data.




  • Yes they do and I do add my own tech but my experience with some of these devices has not been great.

    I have LG TVs which I connected to the network and have been updated over the years to have really bad UX and are now polluted with ads.

    I had an LG sound bar that was great for a while until it completely stopped working. Powers on, all functions seem to work, just no sound. Originally it worked as a Chromecast device too, but they stopped doing updates and Google stopped working with the old API.

    My fear is that eventually there will be an update that bricks a device. Now I’ve taken them off the network, but how long before we have TVs that require Internet to even function.

    These smart TVs have a lot more hardware and software than they need which means a lot more to break.













  • Don’t punish the taxpayer, punish the troll.

    Requiring a government agency to pay a penalty will only ensure the agency will work with less efficiency. In turn, ineffective agencies are further criticized and will become a target for privatization, which only ever serves special interests and those with means.

    Put an end to this one and for all. Pass a law that requires any entity which files suit on the basis of being a parent holder must show that they use the patent to earn income from sales that are proven to be independent from them and their officers. If the suit is only being filed for easy money, they should be fined heavily.
