Hell, forward that to DOL - they’ll surely take a dim view of what that jackass is doing.

Um, duh?
- Comment on When something still uses micro USB in 2025 5 days ago:
Yep.
Re-engineering is expensive, and so is the licensing of USB-C (along with the port cost, and revamping the manufacturing process).
The device would no longer be inexpensive, and it has no need of USB-C capability.
There’s lots more involved than just the port connector itself.

It’s not about being a “bad dad”. The question is whether this is reasonable with this specific kid. Pros/cons, risks, etc.

I haven’t had a VHS since 1999
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 2 weeks ago:
I mean you picked an American car company. They’ve been garbage for decades, I’ve owned exactly one, a 90’s Taurus, probably the most reliable American car we’ve seen in decades, and it just barely approaches Japanese cars for reliability and maintenance.
I say this as someone who’s worked on every brand of car, from the 1940’s to today. You can’t give me an American car (or German, or just European). I refuse to own anything other than Honda or Toyota any more. I’ll sacrifice style and features for a vehicle that just works for 100-200k miles, or more.
Buick has been a style-over-substance brand in the GM lineup since the 80’s, at least. Not that any GM is particularly good, Buick just makes it worse with cheap gimmicks. Same with all Chrysler products.
But yea, all brands include some nonsense today.

You don’t really see this with Toyota and Honda, just avoid any of the models that are joint venture with other companies.

- Comment on Why people say they have a "boy cat" or a "girl cat" but when the cat grows up, they don't call is a "man cat" or "woman cat"? 2 weeks ago:
They do? Who does this? I’d say ask them.
I use the terms “male” and “female”.
- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 2 weeks ago:
Quickly?
Every country is already a surveillance state, and has been for multiple decades.
Just look at Britain with cameras everywhere since at least the 1980’s.
Fucking Ring crap just doubled down on it, and idiot people don’t even care they’re providing the means. 1984 nailed it.
- Comment on For some reason suicide is illegal. If someone is going or trying to commit suicide and get talked down are they still in trouble or get locked up or sent to a medical facility? 2 weeks ago:
It’s illegal in most states in the US.
You’d get detained, and sent for medical/psych eval.

- Comment on I tried living entirely on IPv6 for a day, and here's what happened 4 weeks ago:
It boils down to cost: who’s going to do all the engineering work to re-IP a business, and that without considering lost productivity.
6 is great for the backbone, to relieve the pressure on IPv4. But I have zero need of v6 inside my flat network with a handful of machines.

Not only is he trying, he laments not learning better when he was younger. Great self-awareness, and taking ownership today.
