  You could be a boomer and just mash that gas station USB-C cable into the micro USB port anyway. “They just don’t make these new cables work like they used to.”

  My bet is to slap heavier sentences on people. Shoplift a bag of chips and “resisting arrest” suddenly becomes “punching a fed” etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there no universities/colleges that start in the afternoons?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  MA/PhD full time is all afternoon/evening classes, usually one day a week per class. I don’t think we ever started before 1pm, though it was typically closer to a 3-6pm/6-9pm schedule. The idea was we’d do our assistantships and teach the undergrad courses in the mornings (8-10ams) and have the world’s most inconvenient office hours in the space after that (between 11-2ish).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stanford Professor: The idea that Stanford University owes its graduate students a "living wage" is preposterous⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You could owe them both in one of the most expensive places in the US to live. Teaching the lower division courses you won’t touch should at least afford rent, groceries, and gas.

  Oh and Berk also objects to DEI, how surprising coming from an Apartheid-era relic. He’s just another conservative, tenured piece of shit who likes riling up the student body.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US | FCC to eliminate gigabit speed goal and scrap analysis of broadband prices⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An FCC inquiry in September 2024 sought comment on how the FCC could add more pricing data to its annual analysis, noting that the March 2024 report lacked “granular price information, especially for rural areas, limited the analysis to overall patterns of affordability.”

  Easy. Ask the main players (AT&T, Spectrum, Comcast) how much for internet. When they don’t give a straight answer, because they’ll say it depends on bundles, that means it’s too much.

  Nah, they decided to buy a more affordable car with only a 3-star crash rating because they decided to get stressed about their only financing option being complete dogshit because of a wrecked economy, because they decided to have a job that required going into the office.

  iPhone XS. They (the Apple Store) said “for insurance reasons” they couldn’t continue trying to put the phone together because they might break another screen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon describes apple's practices⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve posted this before, but I took a phone in for a battery replacement. Pretty routine. They took forever and finally came back to me and said “we can’t replace your battery because we broke two screens trying to put it back together.” Listen motherfuckers, you had one job, it’s all you do all day, and you somehow had Slippy McThumbs as the technician? They then handed me a nonfunctional phone and, dead serious, asked for a good time for a call with tech support to get my phone replaced. Then took a $1000 deposit on a phone with a trade value of maybe $300 until they got the broken one. Three-ring shit show.

  The Apple Store will use Lyft for same-day. I had a laptop charger die on me and wasn’t in any position to drive out for a new one. It was sketchy to say the least.
