The consumption is fairly negligible, of course, but so is modern Bluetooth.

Sure, that should be why using BT my phone headphones, battery lasts 30-40% less 🤦🏻

Cables doesn't consume battery not get affected by radio interference.

Then I can choose between a lifetime of debt or assisted suicide

As long as religious people run things, the US will never have a federal level assisted suicide law.

We should build an A.I. overlord so that it replaces our current leadership like politicians and the entire market bussines specially the to

This is the stuff of nightmares and I hope it never happens.

We are abysmally far away from having the ability to create a general AI, and we risk that the current "IAs" are put in control for people like the inept computer engineer in War Games who put Joshua aka WOPR in control of a system without fully understanding it (because it was completely outside of its model).

Don’t even have kids, and giving parenting advice?

I live in the world. I know what I don't like to see in breeders failing to train their crotch goblins. So yeah, I give advice. Sue me.

Luckily such daughter will always be imaginary for me.

We should. It's not likely to happen any time soon, though.

Take her smartphone and give her a Nokia. She will have a battery that lasts a week and that excuse will be moot :)

"The Biggest Con of All Time"

I mean, acid that strongly corrosive as part of the xenomorph's circulatory system is hard to believe, but if you concede that, agreed.

There has been anti-vaccine groups since the invention of vaccines.

If you're from one of the countries with nukes, of course you'll see it as positive. For the victims of the nuke-wielding countries, not so much.

We need to do more than just listen to what a few people on television say. Everyone should do their work and if they don’t, they need to accept some responsibility.

Please tell me how is this possible in countries where knowledge and critical thinking are demonized and magical thinking, including religion, is entronized as the most desirable way to evaluate reality.

Newsflash: it isn't.

Promoting cutthroat individualism as a way to handle society doesn't help matters either.

If that decision contributes to the spread of a pandemic, they can keep they cherished decisions behind bars in a quarantined prison.

For reruns in Argentina, nothing beats Disney's Zorro. It's a full-on revered classic here.

Boy, do I understand the cringe.

I always described these users as "unable to distinguish between an icon an a button". Modern Windows UIs don't make it easier, though.

Agreed. If it has a positive effect as in 2, I'm all for it, but trusting that a non-technical user really know what's going on with his computer is a serious gamble.

Apparently contemporary teens have no understanding of the folder structure. Like, at all.

I met numerous 20- and 30- somethings in the 90s who had no idea either. When asked why they didn't know where did they save the documents they "lost", they usually answered that they hadn't studied Computer Sciences and therefore they didn't have any reason to know (!).

Appelations to learn to use better their tools usually got nowhere.

And that's why the world is in this shitty state.

Thinking (specially thinking critically) consumes too much energy and too many people are unwilling to do it.

What do you have against being informed?
