  • Freedom has always been painful. Just remember, as every adult knows: The border between pain and pleasure can be very thin indeed.

  • Oof. That's harsh.

  • I'm not even sure I know what the WWW is at this point, but I'm pretty sure I fucking hate it.

  • Sure, but we've got to separate confounding factors. I don't mind fuel efficiency - quite the contrary - what I mind is unnecessary electronics, let alone communications gear of any kind. Just make a solid vehicle that gets me safely and reliably from A to B and... absolutely nothing else.

  • My mother has owned serveral used vehicles that came with... unintentional anti-theft measures.

  • total trash electronics tho

    Apparently, Jeep has been continuing that proud tradition ever since, if this article is any indication :)

  • But anyway, getting back on topic -- it's probably for the best we stopped using metal to fill cavities and switched to UV-hardened polymers. Of course, broadcast radio isn't as prevalent as it once was either. :)

  • they will help toward winning the greatest war that ever will be.

    Well, I certainly hope he was right about that one.

  • Funny. Normally we call people selling these kinds of products criminals and attempt to shut them down. Turns out those naughty lads were just going about it the wrong way. They should have gone public, floated the company and sold for dollars instead of bitcoin, and suddenly everything would magically have been just fine.

    It's a neat trick, and it works for other unsavory things normally not allowed too: "Unregulated militias and arms trafficking" becomes a "PMC", "kidnapping and slavery" becomes "prison services" etc.

  • Same old tired song and dance.

  • You know, one of the things I used to admire about Jeeps was their ruggedness and simplicity. They're a lot less impressive as server farms on wheels than they were as cars.

  • That could leak sensitive and embarrassing personal information! Just scribble tally marks on the walls like a sane person! /s

    Ahem. I mean... Nice work!

  • Yeah, a better analogy would be Trump raping every US man, woman and child (those in particular), while Xi is just sort of sitting in the corner, contentedly masturbating.

  • I've got to wonder what they thought they were buying. It's not like the warning signs were sparse these past, oh, ten years or so.

  • At this point I'd be somewhat surprised if anyone is, Laura.

  • You just had to go and get my hopes up, didn't you?

  • "You're fired!"

    "Oh dear. Why?"

    "For doing the job i hired you to do instead of spending more of my money on tokens to have an LLM do it for you!"

  • I'm sure that won't be an issue for anybody working with confidential, privileged or private information.
