Given it's unrepresentative voting system I think how much is enough to be a democracy. T hot take for people that see democracy. Two parties to choose from is just one more than a clear dictatorship. If neither actually represents you then yeah it's not healthy .

Who the hell is the manufacture to decide if a remote feature no longer functions? (I'm guessing people don't rent these devices from Amazon - it's your property).

I don't need your concent, it's in your best interests - Amazon

Why 30 years, why not 10?

I watched a talk regarding a pacemaker/defibrillator incorrectly shocking a woman because she was an edge case (being younger and pregnant). She sought help from doctors who, as you may guess, knew nothing about the software. The manufactures ghosted her when asked for information, let alone source code. Some of them are wireless, vulnerable to attack. Being in control of any software running inside our bodies is an important issue to consider.

Not my games industry.

Freeing old game software is better that never doing it, so that's worthy of praise. I hope this becomes a trend that other companies try to one-up each other on.

GPL for code, what about art assests?

I think that refers to lithium ion batteries. Some EVs use lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) which can still can catch fire but can be starved of oxygen. Sadly it is heavier but it is made without the immorally sourced cobalt.

We may be able to tell with great confidence what you're thinking or feeling but not how it feels to you. There's a subjective, 1st person experience. Something that it's like to be you which is different from me. I can't tell what it's like to be someone else, or be another animal, or if it means anything to be a rock.

 

Hell of a first day.

Cognitohazards are my favorite - at least.. I think I remember them being my favorite.

 

A video taking on the difficult task to address an article with a unique format (my favorite "read"): https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2521

 

They told me who you are.

 

This sub looks empty, thought I'd post one of my favorite SCP videos.

 

Work are chucking out a "Cisco 887VA-M" integrated services router.

Anyone know if I can install some custom OS/firmware via the USB on the back?

I expect this is just e-waste but maybe it has some use as emergency switch :)

 

I had not heard of a weighted blanket until I saw that image and searched for what it might refer to. Are they useful for adults too? Will ask my ADHD friend if they ever had one, might make a good gift.

The image looks like it could be used as a real emoji (expressing comfort). Who made it? I would like to use the image if permission has been given (e.g. Creative Commons licence).
