Gropey Old Pedophiles; its right there in the name.

Based on the most recent special-election results, we should* see the Dems leave the 2026 mid-terms with 250+ house seats and a slight majority (50-55 range) in the senate.

Enough to impeach the orange turd - but not enough to convict, without some of the more moderate reps growing a spine.

* rough estimates based on a ~25 point swing in urban and suburban districts, and a ~15 point swing in rural seats towards the Dems from the 2024 result.

Again, this is also based on the idea that Trump won’t somehow rat-fuck the US to the point of declaring martial law due to a perceived insurrectionist uprising, and trying to cancel the mid-terms altogether.

I remember the horrendous response times of the original GameBoy’s LCD panel, and when I mentally compare it to modern COLOUR panels…

…all I can think is, never say never!

What you’re looking for are commercial screens. They’re a bit more expensive for a comparable panel, as they are intended for 24/7 use- but are about as dumb as they get nowadays.

Silly goose, after 8K is 16K!

…will fuck you up!

I won’t feel relieved until we get confirmation what the substance was.

There have been too many mentions of a potentially deadly mercury compound, to be used against political enemies floating around in social media comments for my killing.

I would, as an under-educated Australian, expect a lot of these migrants being from the Middle East - due in no small part to all of the US-led fuckery over the past 25 years (in particular).

So not colonialism, but something altogether worse?

Honestly - in the event that this nature fails, California should just unleash a barrage of similar legislation like this, year after year. Eventually it would end up cheaper to just pay the taxes than continually fight against it.

They’re trying to redefine it to Profitable Computing:

They do round up, so in the very unlikely event of this ever passing - it would be given one congressman and two senators. All three would be Dems, so this will never happen.

It’s just pure rage bait, intended to distract away from the Epstein Files, Venezuela, and Renee Goode.

The American Experiment is well and truly coming to an end, and I think we can mostly agree that it is ending an abject failure.

The big question is: what comes next? Will it be the age of the American Empire, or the start of America’s Century of Humiliation?

Mind you, neither answer is a particularly good one - seeing as how the rest of the world has basically built itself up based off the foundation of a unipolar world.

We are cursed to live in interesting times.

Unironically, you’re missing out.

Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are both just ways to project the smartphone already in your pocket onto an additional screen (like plugging a second monitor to your laptop or PC).

Manufacturers like GM and Tesla hate it because it stops your data from being readily collected and stored with the purpose of building up a profile of ‘you’ that they can then sell to advertisers and insurance companies.

Now if only manufacturers had the good sense to keep things like climate control as physical switches - that’s my own personal bugbear. 🤬

…meanwhile Steven Miller is hiding in the nearby storm drains with clown make-up on like:

Yeah, in hindsight it really landed at an opportune time.

It’s a crying shame how greedy companies like Nvidia & Micron have gotten from back-to-back runs on their products - it feel like it will take a generational downturn for them to pull their heads in, and return to the more modest profit margins of the past (which even then was around 30%, IIRC).

Ah, completely forgot that Intel 6th gen introduced DDR4 - I would’ve sworn it was much more recent than that!

You’ve certainly gotten your money’s worth out of your system - that’s for sure!

I went from a 3570K, 16GB, GTX 670 -> GTX 1080 (later SLI’d), to my current rig:

5950X, 32GB, RTX 3090 -> RX 7900 XTX

Just before the Ethereum mining rush took off, and with the current pricing due to AI fuckery - I don’t think I’ll be switching up anytime soon.

I get where you’re coming from, and in certain situations where you can’t otherwise get around it, you can configure your home network to not allow the Smart TV to phone home with telemetry or to accept any inbound external network traffic, so it can only access local network data such as your PC for Steam link.

I’m not confident enough to configure my home network that well (yet), hence I just opt to have the TV air gapped instead

The thing with smart TVs is that you don’t need to connect them to your network to use them.

LG, unfortunately, still make the best OLED displays at the moment, and Samsung are arguably even worse when it comes to not respecting their customers.

Our C2 65in is hooked up to an Apple TV for all of our media streaming needs.

Reduce the US population by almost 2/3rds?
