Yes, and they’re encouraging people to throw it out. At least some users think to sell on the secondary market, but third party buyers can only get so much out of EOL Windows machines and there are only so many linux users with an interest in buying up old hardware.
I myself have a couple of used laptops, but don’t need any more hardware for a while, so it’s not like I’m able to buy up any. I fear much of it will rot in a landfill.
Big company recommends users turn functional hardware into e-waste so they can boost quarterly profits.
No, of course not. If Harris loses, there is a basically 0% chance of anyone other than Trump winning. But that doesn’t matter, because this stupid waste of a paywall didn’t even address the actual numbers, just some poll that doesn’t say anything about actual voter habits.
What this stupidly worded title seems to imply is the spoiler effect, where a third party candidate may receive enough votes to change the winner of the election. To be clear, this is only possible because Trump is the main threat to Harris: if she were already ahead by 100 electoral votes, the spoiler effect would be impossible. But as it stands today, the odds of a third party candidate actually affecting this election are less than 1%, so no, Jill Stein and Bear Head Kennedy are not going to have any measurable effect on the election results.
It was still alive and well in the 90s, but in my memory it died out pretty quickly in the 2000s.
Saw The Wild Robot last weekend. It was great.
Lol, that’s an expression I haven’t heard in a while.
What do you mean?
Impeachment is just a natural thing that happens to every politician, usually about twice a term. Just ask Trump.
Well, this article is silly clickbait.
The reality is that Harris currently has 57% odds to win vs. Trump’s 42%. It’s a weighted coin flip, but still a coin flip nonetheless. Trump winning would not be a huge upset or invalidate polling methodology.

Sure if you’re like 90 years old and hate your spouse. I enjoy my wife’s company.
Luckily between Amazon and ESPN+ I can meet most of my sportsball needs. For those not on the apps, there are websites that can assist.
I used to be into that, but Kodi started to become a pain after all the streamer quality got low, I had to pay for RealDebrid just to get a decent stream, I never quite got sports streaming to work with any of the apps, and the Firestick itself got ungodly slow over time.
I have PCs hooked up to all my TVs, so if I can’t find something on my streamers I can just open up my browser and google a solution.
Dude I use Lemmy to not see ads, why are you posting this?
Gattaca was taking a lot of license for the sake of the movie. A lot of diseases are multifactorial and while genes might play a role, they’re not the only factor and often not even the main factor. The movie ignored things like epigenetics, early life exposures, lifestyle, age, sex, and just plain variance that are all factors that can play into chronic diseases.
That being said, allowing parents to make decisions based on genetic testing isn’t itself eugenics. Eugenics is a top-level idea revolving around the idea of improving the quality of human genetics as a whole. And that requires an institutional judgement of what are good quality genes and bad quality genes, which necessitates us saying some people are better quality than others and opens up the door to racism/homophobia/transphobia/ableism/etc. Eugenics is always bad, while personal medical decisions based on genetics can be reasonable.
Lol yeah. At least the game was fairly easy to compensate.
They’re not leaving, they’re just checking out the wet paint exhibit next door. They’ll be right back as soon as it dries!
Ah, last Sonic game I played was 3d Blast, so I’m not up on all the drama.
To be fair, the trailers show him becoming an ally and dealing with his daddy issues. I can’t imagine them doing much more with the character, so this might end up being a sendoff.
Old Fashioned. It’s one with a huge variation in flavor from bar to bar, so it’s always interesting to see how they do it.
It’s because modern conservatives are less concerned about facts.
Republicans claim climate change is a hoax; the reality is that climate change is already causing measurable damage around the planet.
Republicans claim Haitian immigrants are eating dogs and cats; the reality is they aren’t.
Republicans claim Democrats want to abort newborn infants. The reality is this is illegal everywhere.
Republicans claim illegal immigration and crime area crisis. Reality is the numbers are actually trending down.
Republicans claim supply side economics worse. Reality is that supply side economics does not work and Democratic presidents perform better on every economic measure.
Republicans have recently claimed that schools are doing trans surgeries on kids without their parents’ permission and immigrants have a direct phone line to Kamala Harris in exchange for illegal votes. Reality is that those are too stupid to garner a serious response.
So yeah, reality happens to have a liberal bias when conservatives are trying to out-stupid each other.
If you’re referring to The Last Jedi, it made $1.3 billion on a $300 million profit. Joker 2 is set to flop.
