  • Reminds me of my packets from California. 15 mins drive from the sender to the DHL center (15 mins in the center of LA, so they are really close). Two weeks wait in the DHL center. Transfer to the airport. Another two weeks wait at the airport. Flight to Frankfurt, one day at customs, next day here. Each and every month (it is a subscription service).

  • Let me tell you how shitty they were, and why they probably put this thing to the curb:

    The "Receiver" part of that thing was so limited, that it basically interpreted all kinds of ultrasonic sounds as "commands". Whenever I pulled my curtains open or close, the TV went nuts. It turned off, or it turned the volume to 11, or whatever. I was working on a small piece of metal on my desk, and with every stroke it changed channels, either up or down. This thing was annoying.

  • I once got gifted a TV from a nice elderly guy. The TV had been edge of technology when it was built: It had a wireless remote! Although the remote worked with ultrasound instead of infrared...

    This beast took several minutes before it actually showed a picture.

  • Decades ago, the TV took five minutes to warm the tubes up before one could watch the news.

    Today, the TV takes five minutes to boot, install updates, and mangle some configuration before one (eventually) can watch the news - if the TV has not lost it's list of stations again.

  • He maintained that Republicans are “still the majority party,” but described the eight Republicans who voted to oust previous Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) as “traitors” who “put us in this position” and “paralyzed” the House.

    If the "traitors" are the problem, you have to deal with them, they have been fed and pampered and brought into the House by your party. So your party has put them into this position to paralyze the country. Now grow up and deal with your home-made problems yourself - like any responsible adult would do. After all, you like responsibility as a Republican, don't you? Or is it suddenly all propaganda when truth and reality starts to hurt?
