Comment Imagine my utter shock (Score 3, Funny) 184

The large companies/conglomerates that pump out and deliver hydrocarbons end up being the source of the largest quantity of hydrocarbon byproduct.
Just shocking I tell you!

I was just so sure it'd be some nuclear plants or something.....

Of course, if their consumers were motivated not to that'd help - but that pressure is being released right now it seems.

Comment Like a gambler chasing their losses as this point (Score 1) 151

He needs some friends to just give him an intervention at this point. Slim odds of it both being found and being recoverable. Just throwing money at it and/or raking up debt that he'll never be able to repay if he goes down this route is not the way to go - and only someone he really trusts has a chance at getting that message to him at this point.

Comment Boycott Locked Shelves (Score 1) 226

That's my decision. If stores want to put mundane cheap items behind locked shelves (where it'll take forever to find someone to unlock it) instead of putting proper effort into how they run the stores/deal with security, then I'm not buying that item there.

This is the same stores (I'm looking at you Walmart) that you will have self checked out, walk out, have the sensor go off and the supposed loss prevention person there completely ignores you - not even giving an acknowledgement it's OK to go or not.

Comment Need a Windows 10 retirement mega-thread (Score 2) 162

Do we need to post multiple stories a day about this? I think everyone on this site knows the deadline, and knows what they are doing (change to Linux, or wait as long as possible to upgrade if not).

Just stick a mega-thread somewhere and let people post their favorite links in it or something - jeez.

Comment Weekly doom and gloom (Score 1) 242

I swear we had one of these a week ago.

I have three boxes running Windows 10 right now. Two (one I use mainly as a media serve, and my laptop) will become Linux boxes soon enough. The last I'm waiting it out as long as I can, but I'll surrender to Windows 11 for gaming purposes only on that box.

I'm sure I'm not alone in choosing to lower my Windows footprint. Don't need a.i. on everything I touch. Don't need to have everything I do sent back via telemetry.
Knock it off Microsoft and you'll get better adoption.

Comment It's aim more than anything else (Score 1) 195

I have definitely noticed an increase in lights that are just not aimed well. Had one just the other day - the bulb on the far side form me was just aimed up and across the street right at incoming drivers, while the one closer the the lane divider was fine. That tells me it wasn't brights on. I don't know if it's poor aiming as installed, or failing with some cars that have "smart" headlights that are just messing up.
