Beautiful

Swindled! Fooled! Cumbubblefucked!

Come to Chicago. It's amazing.

My fucktarded friends would be insulted

Aww that's sad :(

I hope nobody ever forgets this man or the awful things he wrought upon the country and world. I hope his name becomes synonymous with idiot, fuckup, corrupt, or just plain king dumbass.

I want society to reflect on his life and presidency as such a failure that his most ardent supporters and enablers find themselves incapable of being seen in public for fear of intense, unending ridicule.

I hope history books being written today adequately portray him in such a way that even MAGA teachers feel incapable of defending him to their students. I hope the fascist third of American society is faced with the reality of their choices and that it follows them until the end of their days.

The fuck you just say to me?

Side note - I can't wait for AI to fix autocorrect. Shirts getting old

Okay, but could maybe you just go after the rich? For boo other reason than being rich? Because, in my experience , rich people tend to suck and that seems reason enough to investigate. Please?

Pls Switzerland?

Failure to pay attention in civics class cannot possibly be the fault of a presidential candidate.

Also, presidents and presidential candidates do a ton of campaigning for both their own candidacy as well as for down ballot candidates in an effort to achieve these things. They're only advertising their intentions and priorities. That's your it has worked since the beginning of American democracy

I mean they're making the Bolt EUV instead, but it's basically the same car. It's 2 inches taller and 6 inches longer than the Bolt EV.

Though I take your point. Discontinuing it was a mistake.

Mfer... you will not have the satisfaction of again my daughter's hand at her graduation.

Bolt owner here. Love my car very much.

It's Ohio. What infrastructure?

As a non-Dolly music fan, I agree with you wholeheartedly... for now.

But later, if it comes out after she's dead, that she was secretly harvesting puppy blood in her basement or abusing handicapped kids for decades or some other crazy awful thing, I'll have to re-evaluate. And though I'm not hoping for this to be the case, it just seems like that's exactly the type of shit this timeline would do to us. Guys I think I'm losing hope for humanity. Dolly save us all.

Lol honor system omg I'm dying

Setting a timer is more of a hassle than having my washing machine notify me when it's done - however is most convenient for me. Due to the layout of my home, I am unable to hear the washing machine directly. And setting a timer on my phone sounds like a pain in the ass. And sometimes my wife or kids started a load and I don't know when they did that, but I need to do some laundry myself, so I need to know if the washer is free but I don't want to go all the way to the basement to find out.

Luckily, my washer connects to my Wi-Fi and, unfortunately, to the Internet. I very much like that it will notify me on my smart devices around the house and on my phone. It's actually a great feature. Similarly, I can see my next oven notifying me when it's preheated. Similar reasons - might be doing laundry or out of earshot when it's ready to cook.

The problem here isn't the feature itself. It's undeniably useful. The issue is that LG's programmers somehow wrote code that resulted in a tremendous amount of web traffic considering the extremely limited data that could possibly be collected by a washing machine. Think about every tiny thing you did today and write it all down in great detail. You could probably write a short novel if you really tried. And all that can be written to a file less than 1MB in size. The washing machine did not, could not collect that amount of private information about you without also sending audio and/or video. And I'm going to go ahead and assume it has neither microphones or cameras.

So, in the end, this is pretty clearly a programming error. My guess: The washing machine sent a json file containing:

• The status of the washer (basic functionality)
• the ssid's and signal strengths of every nearby WiFi and Bluetooth signal (this is personal data they'd sell - which is gross)
• Mac address, rtt, ip address, and dns address of every device on the LAN (this is more personal data they'd sell - which is still gross) *Basic hardware health data including counters for how many cycles it has ran in its lifetime, how long it's been running, total revolutions of each motor, temperature, and humidity readings (more basic functionality)

And, due to a programming error, it sent this exact same data every second, uncompressed, all day, every day, until the stupid thing gets updated with a firmware patch.

My point is, that's simply not useful data to collect at that sort of frequency. It's true - LG wants that data , but it absolutely does not want that data sent to their servers every millisecond of every day. They want it probably once per hour. Maybe even once every 5 minutes. LG doesn't want 4GB(!) of the exact same data. Collecting and storing data costs real money and infrastructure.

TLDRB I'm going to guess that someone screwed up on the coding side and that's how you get such egregious amounts of network traffic from a washing machine.

But the one I own does a great job of notifying me and doesn't show the same traffic patterns. So I still think those and features are useful. Eventually you'll probably be glad to have them in your appliances too. There's a ton of use cases for it and it's quickly becoming standard since the technology is incredibly cheap to produce.

Definitely move back. Do whatever you can to avoid getting stationed in Phoenix. Whatever good it might do for your career just isn't worth the inevitable misery you'll experience getting into your car after it's been baking in the desolate expanse all day.

That's all America knows how to build anymore: sprawling suburbs with a minimum quota for parking spaces per-capita. Stucco and pavement as far as the eye can see.

I moved from there to Chicago as a young adult - best decision I ever made. Started my career in a beautiful city with 4 whole seasons and minimal magma pavement.
