I’ve dabbled with them, but I find myself accidentally triggering them, so I’ve always gone back to buttons.

Last update that had a noticeable GUI change for me was when they switched navigation default from 3-button to gesture. Fortunately they still have the option for 3-button.

Florida voter here. We have closed primaries and I have a registered party affiliation. I don’t receive any political texts, mostly just fake USPS scams.

Anytime I want to use public WiFi that’s behind a captive portal that requires an email, I give them “bezos@amazon.com”

Two in one!

That cat is named Maru, and he has a very well documented affinity for boxes.

I had an American-made 2001 Honda Civic that didn’t start having significant problems until it was well over 100k miles. Had an American-made 2007 Accord that never had a major issue with 116,000 miles. Now have an American-made 2023 Integra, and I hope it fares the same.

Edit: but our American-made '96 Astro was a total piece of shit.

Coming soon to a Supreme Court near you:

“It is this Court’s opinion that this rule infringes on businesses’ First Amendment right to free speech.”

The car itself should never come with something that will require recurring payments.

Cars already do. Satellite radio has been a thing for decades now. I’ve never used it. Never felt the desire to use it. I haven’t even taken the free trial. I’m less annoyed that it exists, and more annoyed that I’m forever fated to receive unsolicited junk mail for this feature that I have to unceremoniously dump in the recycling bin every couple weeks.

As for the remote start, yeah, it’s kinda bullshit that they’ve removed the more permanent, older version of a feature to replace it with something out of the owners’ control. If anything, it should exist in parallel with the key fob button, not replace it entirely. I’m less concerned about the fact that it’s a subscription than I am about the prospect of that feature dropping support down the road with no recourse for the owner.

A proton is a positively charged subatomic particle doing in the nucleus of an atom. But in this context, Proton is a translation layer that allows games that were built for Windows to run on Linux.

I just meant you’d have access to them. Didn’t mean to imply they were all good. I mean, I owned Shadows of the Empire on N64.

Every Star Wars game…

Flight Simulator

It’s Germany. On paper, only 1 in 60 people there own a firearm.

Batman: The Animated Series

Unique art style (it was drawn on black paper), excellent writing, excellent voice acting.

Yeah, I also hate back-button hijacking. I suspect some websites do it to artificially force more page views for ad revenue. Try a long-press on the back button to view the history for that browser tab and click on the most recent page you think won’t redirect.

I don’t think it was anything beyond this short video.

Ahh yes, dropping nuclear weapons right next door, risking fallout in your own territory and pissing off every country around you, as well as all your allies. Why not?
