He looks like Jim Carrey in The Mask after a kid need with the colors on the TV.

My guess would be the PSU as well. It could be dead, or not plugged in right, or underpowered. Pulling out the GPU is a great idea. At least if it boots that provides some direction.

That is a lot of money for a state.

In Minnesota, we raised sales tax for a county of 1.2 million people for 20 years to pay $355 million for the Twins stadium.

This money could fund schools, or public transportation, or just tax cut for the people that actually need the money.

Increase the millionaire tax.

How about banning them entirely.

I have a friend who bought one 6 years ago. He paid like $6k for the feature and recently traded in for a new one because he could keep the self driving license for free.

He says it never really worked that week and is worse on the new vehicle because cheapskate switched from lidar to cameras to save money. Also, he has 3 of 5 "strikes" toward a ban, because your need to keep you have on the wheel and eyes on the road. That's right, a creepy camera watches you. He says at least 2 are false positives.

Not exactly "Full self driving," and Tesla doesn't exactly look like they've been working on it

I have no idea why people still buy anything from Musk.

If you have the intelligence to realize you're wrong and the strength to admit it, then you are better than most people.

That's what I don't understand. Don't like Biden? I get that. Undying loyalty to Trump? What? Why? Just listen to him speak. He's an incoherent idiot.

"Are you don't yet? Why aren't you done yet? Help me update infinite plans that will be outdated in a week. Also, I just promised a bunch of stuff... all that stuff we already promised, I think you can do that faster."

When I was a dev, I once had a PM with no technical skills that decided he would "learn to program to help catch us up"... He did not succeed.

Biden has done much better than I would have guessed, especially considering how fucked everything was when he took office. He's not a star candidate and I have plenty of criticism, but Biden has done infinitely better than the last 5 Republican presidents.

That said, even if I thought Biden was amazing, he's basically a walking ghoul at this point. The president (and supreme court justices) should be sharp, at the peak of their game, not in their last dwindling years. I'll still vote Biden, because the alternative is one of the dumbest and biggest pieces of shit in American history. Maybe some day we'll have better choices.

Dude is a lying, treasonous, rapist, but per snopes he surprisingly has attended all of his children's graduation ceremonies.

"customers’ real-time location information, revealing where they go and who they are.”

All of them did it. That either means collusion or they're all evil and bold enough to do this despite the risk. Either way, this was not an accidental slip up or a hack. Jail time and a crippling fine is the solution. This is neither.

Jesus. Why can't they make whistle blowers anonymous?

I have a malamute, so similar antics. It's cute- except at 6am for breakfast... and two hours before dinner time...and when it's time for a walk even when it's -10 outside.

Not for everyone. But I wouldn't trade it.

I mean, the rich probably benefit either way... But I've definitely seen times get scarier for the rest of us. So...I care.

Messages went from $.05, to $.10, to $.20 to send and receive. That was in the span of three years. All of the companies said it wasn't collision. They just happened to arrive upon massive increases separately.

If I recall, one of the CEOs said "We're raising the prices to save customers money. This way they'll be an unlimited plan"

The telcos should have been broken up then. Instead we've seen even more mergers.

• Edit: forgot to include the years. This was in the U.S. circa 2005-2008. Telcos have moved onto other sleezy practices now.*

I didn't count handhelds. Seems like a different-ish market. Interestingly, I thought the game gear was way better than original game boy... Except it absolutely ate batteries.

I've never heard of the N64 DD. The 90's had so many weird consoles.

Seconded.

Dreamcast was solid. Decent games. Sega just had their collective heads up their assess. No one had confidence in their consoles. Genesis was a surprise smash hit...then Sega just spewed out consoles; 32x, Sega CD, mega drive, Saturn... Probably more. In that same time span Nintendo released...N64.

No one wants to buy a console that is outdated in a year or two. That game library is tiny and none of your friends have it.

Build a winner, milk it. Release another winner right as the previous one is winding down. Nintendo has mastered that formula.

It needs to be law that all public officials release their tax records...Also no stock holdings.

Not sure what changes, but it's scary how much Google controls. Even if we just broke off YouTube from them, that would be a big deal.

Ideally we would split their search engine, YouTube, and chrome each into two competing companies. (Google A, Google B, Chrome A, Chrome B, YouTube A, YouTube B)

Because Google has so much power they can make changes that will break search results, websites, and browsers if you don't accept changes that are beneficial to them.

The crazy thing is that you don't need to cherry pick quotes or take them out of context to make him look like an idiot.

Listen to pretty much any interview or speech and he says something that is clearly idiotic, evil, or a blatant lie. Most likely all three... Repeatedly.

I get that Fox News is a hell of a drug, but just hearing this dipshit speak should shatter the illusion. The unwavering support is mind boggling.
