  • Tim Walz says he and Harris were too ‘safe’ during 2024 presidential campaign

    Jump

  • This is pretty much all true. Except for...

    One problem the DNC has is that they keep throwing boring ass lawyers into a game that isn’t about law

    The DNC wasn't making the decisions. The Harris campaign was.

    Kerry? Never stood a chance. Hilary? No chance. Kamala? As much as we needed her to win, she was unappealing to stupid people.

    Somewhat true. But Hillary could have won if she had simply mixed in a few bearded Biker types in the background crowd as prominently as all the Muslim women. But these candidates were the mistakes of the voters, not the DNC.

    To win an election, you have to excite people. Trump, despite his rhetoric clearly being terrifying, was, unfortunately, exciting.

    I change the channel whenever Traitorapist Trump talks so that he never gets a full sentence out. Still do. I don't want to hear one more lie.

  • It’s a matter of self sufficiency and that, at some point,

    You are thinking in terms of pre-nuclear weapons geopolitics. Nuclear weapons completely changes everything. The 80 year old US nuclear umbrella is the only reason we do not yet have dozens of countries with nuclear weapons. Now because of Trump’s New World Disorder, we can expect a mad scramble of dozens of countries getting nukes.

    It has ALREADY started. Poland says it is going to get its own nukes now. It’s a very wise move for Poland but the beginning of a terrible disaster for planet Earth.

    each place should be baseline strong enough

    The world could very easily have 23 new countries becoming "baseline strong" very cheaply in a matter of years simply by building nukes. There are 32 countries that have nuclear power stations now. That is the core technology. And the rest of the world can easily acquire the technology from those 32.

    Does any sane person think that humanity will become MORE SAFE having 32+ nuclear weapons countries instead of 9? Country A would only need 20 nuclear weapons to wipe out Country B's 20 biggest cities in one day. Even if Country B is the top military power in the world and Country A is a small relatively poor country. And all the suicide bombers and terrorist attacks in the last quarter century prove that Mutual Assured Destruction has major limitations. There is no way that Americans will benefit from this. Trump's New World Disorder WILL gravely weaken our national security and world security.

  • Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges via forced firmware updates, removing older firmware versions from support portals [see comments]

  • My general rule of thumb is that any software update has a 50% chance of making the software worse. So I don't update anything without a good reason. That includes not just device updates but things like phone apps.

  • Urgent security fixes are gonna go unpatched

    I don't understand why a printer would ever need an "urgent security fix". Or a software update for that matter.

  • Will there be meaningful software updates for your Kia EV6 in 2028? Absolutely not, no way.

    I just got a new electric Kia and I don't give the slightest shit about updates. In fact I would prefer no updates for fear it would make the great car I have worse. And no way in hell will I ever give Dotard Musk any of my money,

  • Because the man has charisma

    He has the opposite of charisma. I change the channel immediately when Trump is on TV before he can get a full sentence out. Because you just know that it is the voice of a pedophile. Seriously, I can very easily picture Trump's voice telling a pedophile victim not to talk or else.

  • Google’s ‘Secret’ Update Scans All Your Photos

    Jump

  • Whether the people at Google who did this knows they are evil or thinks they are not evil doesn't really even matter. Having a phone app that automatically scans all your photos should scare the shit out of you. At the very least it wastes your battery and slows down your phone.

  • So the purpose is to change the law that allows unlimited donations?

    That is not a law. That was a supreme court power grab. The law says donations are limited to $2000.

  • I hope you can see that, as an owner of a Android flip phone, it is annoying to see people use "flip phone" as a synonym for "dumb phone". BTW not all dumb phones were flip phones, only the final wave of dumb phones generally were.

  • My Kia Sportage PHEV came with a "Kia Connect" app. There is a monthly charge but I get first 3 years for free. It's got some sort of useful things but I don't really use it much anymore. More likely than not I won't bother to pay for it when the free years are up.
