Without spoilers, it's entirely unsurprising Lovecraft Country isn't getting a second season. I don't really see how it could have one. I look forward to seeing the result of this deal. Should be interesting!

rob53 said: What about all the BS short sellers put online? Let's try and be consistent. Why are short sellers even a thing? Short-sellers are a thing because the stock market is literally legalized gambling, and if you have enough money,…

Interesting. There are brand new, multi-thousand-dollar Windows computers you can buy today which don't meet those requirements (the Toughbook's display is only 1024x768; it's like the anti-retina). Except for that requirement, I think all my machin…

Had to renew my driver license during the pandemic, which was surprisingly difficult, even knowing my state is making the process gratuitously hard as a form of voter suppression. The Real ID compliant license is easier to counterfeit in every way t…

Sounds like you talk TLS or IPSec to the Apple server which acts as a proxy. You then talk client-anonymous TLS or IPSec through that to the third-party server, where you make your request. Apple can tell who you are, but not where you’re going. Th…

cia said: OK two things.... One: Isn't TSMC having issues making chips in Taiwan because of the drought that's been happening there? If water can be such an issue, why are they building this plant in Arizona, the driest state in the US? T…

"We are being silenced by big tech!" he says, live on Twitter, Facebook, and every major TV channel. All the major social media companies have an extreme bias in favor of right-wing politics. This is just another example of the Republicans' constan…

I know this isn't the main focus of the article, but how exactly is China communist? When Xi Jinping took over, he abandoned any pretense of Marxism at the government level. Mao famously executed landlords and seized the land, but since 2007, they'r…
