I was surprised by that too. I took apart a lot of electronics as a kid and distinctly remember it being mostly components with leads.

Also that there's a test/license in general. I don't participate in hobbies with government-endorsed gatekeeping. Same as drones - it's more fun to be a rogue operator anyway.

I really don't understand why OP is proud of their story about being a lazy teenager, and then obtaining a do-nothing job before being sent on a free ride to college. Talk about be…

Italy also ranks between Grenada and Saudi Arabia in terms of corruption. https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2020/index/ita

This is entirely true, and easily verified by checking subreddit user overlap. WSB overlaps heavily with a number of right-wing subreddits, and, naturally, /r/unemployment.

As a resident of Seattle, nothing would make me happier than seeing one of our big corporate residents pack up and go elsewhere.

Reminds me of that dustup about Netflix the other day. Woman of color makes a semi-biographical movie about her experience with the dangers of oversexualizing children on social me…

Wow, your ignorant rant really turned racist at the end there.

This is awfully well-timed to coincide with their current campaign to crowdfund investments. It's a cool idea, but their focus on expensive restaurants means it's not going to scal…

I feel like there was an expectation that some kind of e-paper would become ubiquitous before print died. But it's looking increasingly unlikely.

I find my comment civil, substantive, and a worthwhile contribution to the discussion. Maybe you should talk to the guy I replied to.

Right well Google is preternaturally good at that shit. I want to know Apple's excuse for failing to outperform Amazon.

Exactly. "The technology isn't there yet" and "I wouldn't be comfortable using voice control" are said from a place of privilege. There are people out there benefiting from it righ…

I bet you have lots of friends.

But in only five years, he was able to go from knowing nothing about photography, to spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on it!

That's not entirely accurate. They observed that with a fully charged battery it performed as expected. The CPU wasn't throttled until the battery was depleted.

It's absolute magic in person. The limited FOV is kind of a bummer, but tracking is rock solid.

The whole thing read like an only mildly more coherent version of the Series of Tubes speech. And kept harping on about voice call quality. What.

Good summary. Basically the trick is to be rich, and spend ridiculous amounts of money with the right credit cards. It even says in the article that his brother was killed when he …

They make a variety pack, but it's only available with the caffeinated flavors.

That's a pretty classic example really. I know Flickr had some awkward interactions with a foot fetishist community that took up residence there, because they didn't reeeally post …

Ah yes, the terrifying privacy implications of Alexa. Now Google and Amazon know I check the weather every morning. Oh, the dystopia.

I think they have exactly zero obligation to keep people from doing stupid things with their money. Making a blog post about it is nice of them, but probably not necessary.
