But nerds are gonna nerd... Noone is forcing anyone to buy anything.

A few years ago there were fugly phone cases for 10.000$ which sold like hotcakes to show anyone that you have soooo much money you don't really know what to do with it.

I'm just watching in morbid fascination while the ruling caste tells the npc caste that they should rage against science and consume consume CONSUME until the world starts burning. Then, the npcs will start fighting each other for the remaining resources and, finally, somewhere in the future, the last human living will die starving on his huge mountain of money, his only regret being that his mointain isn't even higher.

Jasper Fforde, is that you?

"[Netflix] members pay as much attention to midroll ads as they do to the shows and movies themselves," Amy Reinhard, president of advertising at Netflix, said.

where?! At least not in the linked article.

I think it's rather amusing how the whole ad industry is such a deluisional circle jerk....

And he was stupid, too! Everybody knows that you can legally shoot anyone from a safe distance, that even only eyes you menacingly, right?

I wonder when the next guy sitting on a roof with a .308 and a nice big scope claims he felt threatened be the kids playing soccer 300 yards away...

Damn, must be really frightening to live in Burkina Faso. Human life seems to have no value there!


oh... wait...

Remembering some package names I came across, I think one of the source problems is that evryone is trying to come up with an obscure, in-joke, oh-so-clever name for the extra nerd credz or "teh lulz"...

Yeah! And while we're at it, let's recycle all the "historical cars" and clean out museums of all things older that an iPhone X, shall we?

Meh, it's science-fiction, so everything makes sense by definition.

Serioulsy....

That's a headline a year after the Vulcans visited earth after Cochrane did his little stunt...

Three guys, watching a Micheal Bay movie, totally stoned: "Yo! We should do that!"

"But.... ETHICALLY!"

The feeling that we live in one giant sarcastic reality gameshow is getting stronger by the minute....

A small nitpick: The Pebbles don't use an e-ink screen. They use "memory LCD" displays by Sharp. Basically the aren't as low energy as e-ink, but much, much faster. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sharpsde.com%2Ftechn...

May all these parenting -by-wire become more and more enshittified so that parents dont want to use them ever againâ¦

I also loved the old the old Thinkpad keyboards. But I really donât hate the keyboard on my gen3 X1 Yoga. Most other Laptop have horrible keyboards in comparison

Since I donât need GPU power on my Laptop, I buy used X models since the dawn of time. Currently I use a gen 3 X1 Yoga and itâs winderful. I paid just over 250 bucks for it in rather mint condition. Especially the X models have the perfect balance of portability, power and ruggedness (to me). And I love the fact that Lenovo kept the design of the business line Thinkpads!
