- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 10 hours ago:
It is still possible to buy “dumb” TV’s. Tons of businesses need them for display purposes (like at fast food restaurants and corporate expos, etc, etc), but you need to search for commercial displays. Like this one.
- Comment on New mobile features are sh*t these days 2 weeks ago:
Larger form factors also means more room for batteries. Granted, larger screens require them, but I think my point stands. I’ve been on the Samsung Note since like the Note 4 (I think). The larger amount of screen real estate is genuinely a welcome upgrade and that’s the whole point of the foldables… it’s the next evolution of the “phablet.”

The granddaddy of science fiction and futurism channels is [Science Fiction and Futurism with Isaac Arthur] (youtube.com/@isaacarthursfia?si=TltO6YC-Q-MedDM4). The channel has content for days about all kinds of shenanigans humans could be getting up to in space and beyond.
A close second is futurist and science fiction author John Michael Godier.

Worse case scenario… you get a horse.

Jesus, my Moto G from 2022 has that feature… Apple is a bunch of aasholes.

I mean, in the 1950’s, the planes with all the fancy food and service were basically full first class flights… to return to that weed have to have single class/first class flights and the prices to match.

I remember watching her first interview with Tucker Carlson and thinking “oh thank god she’s a black hole for charisma.” She’s just a void of intellect and nuance collapsing in on itself… of course Ron DeSantis likes her.
- Comment on Nerding out in group is fun tho 7 months ago:
For anyone unfamiliar, “Science Fiction and Futurism with Isaac Arthur” is a prolific YouTube channel. He’s out of dozens -of not hundreds- of hours about everything from building archologies to settling what’s left at the end of the universe. What that guy does is genuinely a public service and he’s gotten awards for his work.

An Acquaintance: “Oh my goodness and they said that people could actually be living on Mars soon! Isn’t that just neat-o?”
Me: Having watched enough hours of “Science Fiction and Futurism with Isaac Arthur” to qualify for a doctorate
Me: “Yep. Sure is super neat-o.”

My Nephew: “What’s a fax machine?”
Me: “A landline network of low quality printers people used to use to do invoices and file for divorce.”
My Nephew: “Landline?”

My work switched to a double ply… instantly the toilets got clogged. GM blamed it on women’s sanitary products. I have half a mind to lead our own little protracted people’s war against him until the plumbing gets fixed.
