  • One In Five Drivers Switches Off The Safety Tech Meant To Save Their Lives

    Jump

  • It's mind boggling how poorly designed most of these systems are. These are multi-billion dollar corporations and they can't do a simple thing correctly for the most part when it comes to these systems.

    For example, I don't know why this isn't the top and foremost thing but a car should NEVER be able to override when the human driver is trying to do. Sure, beep and adjust if veering out of the lane but as soon as any resistance it met by the wheel it should immediately turn off and let the driver do what they want to do.

  • Kansas Schools Now Collect Phones at the Door – Spends $180K On Smartphone Lockers

    Jump

  • Are there any studies that link phone use inside schools to those issues? Because I can easily believe that declining grades could be attributed towards the use of tablets and laptops being used in classrooms as well which many schools are encouraging or increasing the use of.

    As for attention spans I would believe it's for the use of phones/tablets/electronics from a young age rather than the use of them inside of a school itself.

  • Trump blames vandals for damaged grass in the same spot where he held his big July 4 celebration

    Jump

  • Wasnt this case actually vandalism? I thought someone went out with roundup or vinegar or something and killed the grass in a pattern like 88 47 or something (Hitler's number and Trump's number)

    Or was that a different lawn?

  • Trump orders Pentagon to redesign US aircraft carrier to use steam catapults to launch jets

  • Reminds me of my boomer boss that still uses pencil and calculator because Excel is too complicated.

  • Suppose the last movie you saw and the last videogame you played had a crossover. What would that world look like?

    Jump

  • The Punisher and Palworld 😂

  • The state of things

    Jump

  • Also people don't know how to be social anymore so they find it easier to tell a robot to write a warm rejection email rather than writing one themselves.

  • You make $65,000 (USD 🤢) in a dead end career...

    Jump

  • Just submitted a resume yesterday. Almost exact situation I'm in.

  • Meta fined $567m in largest child safety ruling against social media giant

    Jump

  • Probably fire a few people so they can maintain their giant bonuses for executives

  • Google Assistant will vanish from Android phones and connected devices in September

    Jump

  • Honestly I don't understand how Google is such a valuable company. They are absolutely useless for so much shit.

  • TIL that the US spans about 10% of the Earth's circumference

    Jump

  • Because the British screwed us over for a favour from America.

    6 people at the table 3 Americans, 2 Canadians and a brit. The Brit voted with the Americans.

  • Student Teacher Sent a Private Snapchat Complaining About Her Workday. An Hour Later, Police Pulled Up to Her School.

    Jump

  • "automated"

    There is noaccurated and efficient automation when it comes to people. Sure you can flag some phrase that gets sent but unless you know the person there is no way you can say if it's a real threat or not. You will need someone to go through months of messages and phone their friends and family to understand if it's a real potential threat or just a joke/dark humour/bad day.

    Having automatic phrases or words that might alert FBI about an imminent threat is just stupid.

    If anything put them on a watchlist where an investigator is sent out, but that's it.

  • More Americans now support banning phones all day at school, not just in class

    Jump

  • Don't see why they can't just have locked down WiFi networks so only staff and school equipment can use it and then have some sort of localized cell phone jamming that automatically turns off if a fire alarm or other alarm is triggered for emergencies.

  • Justice Department drops criminal case against ex-Olympian charged with damaging Reflecting Pool

    Jump

  • Honestly if I were the contractor I would sue Trump and the administration since their motorcade stunt damaging the liner is now giving their company worldwide coverage on being incompetent contractors.

    I mean, they probably are, but I would still sue to at least minimize the damage.

  • Google shuts down its Nobel-prize winning AlphaFold project as it focuses on Gemini

    Jump

  • So the actually useful product gets shit down for the useless product

  • Reddit keeps pushing on being a closed platform, now rolling out mandatory logging for old.reddit.com - worth pushing for the fediverse again?

    Jump

  • I don't understand how anyone can be an unpaid mod on that site now. Don't they see articles and headlines about stock prices and shit and wonder why aren't they getting a cut?

  • Mayor Mamdani Unveils 30% Discount at New Municipal Grocery Stores

    Jump

  • Stores are often easily able to put a limit per transaction. I don't think a scalper is going to go through the till 500 times to clear the store of its 1000 jugs of milk limited to 2 per person.

  • He was very mature about this

    Jump

  • I like how everyone is inventing a scenario to fit the two lines of dialogue and claiming it's this or that.

    There's no way to definitely say if it's reasonable or not because they guy could be prioritizing gaming over his life and relationship or the lady could just be embarrassed that she is dating a guy with "immature" hobbies and he may be very regulated about the time spent gaming.

    In one scenario it's reasonable in the other it's not.

  • AI-altered images on birdwatching forums putting research at risk

    Jump

  • Borders can be weird. Some can get very competitive, not surprised some would make fake images to pretend they saw some rare bird in an area they aren't normally seem or something.

  • A true mystery

    Jump

  • I agree with everything except the loan interest increases.

    Maybe they shouldn't have a mortgage on a property they are renting if that's going to cause them issues. Just sell it

  • SpaceX stock drops to a new low and loses $1 trillion in value in a month

    Jump

  • I would say that they should just get taxed at what ever the price is on December 31 or January 01.

    If you lose money you can claim it as a loss just as you would when you sell for a loss, up to a certain limit.
