Interesting theory. A fancy way of saying the press aren’t super sleuths or credible reporters with all the facts.

I’ve been involved in about 4 incidences that made the news. None of them. 0/4 were remotely accurate outside of the total sum of the event (there was a car crash involving two vehicles). The broad strokes are there but that’s about it.

But then the news is a money making enterprise that has no real incentive to report the news impartially or even accurately. It kinda cuts into their profits (real reporting takes time, money, resources).

The take home is the shit you see on the news is essentially “based on a true story”, nothing more.

Amazon.ca

Same. I often wondered why colorblind people didn’t all wear them. Makes sense that it’s the brain transmogrifying light incorrectly, so doesn’t matter what tint you put on a pair of glasses, it won’t do squat.

Really solid watch tho!

Yeah another stellar case in point to show Sony would rather you eat glass than have to do anything for you.

Let’s not forget the ridiculous court case against Geohotz for jail breaking the PS3. They pulled out every dirty tactic they could in that suit. Really showed their colours and how they actually “fight” in the court of law.

Scum of the earth.

I don’t think it was on purpose, but who knows what their facilities are like. Maybe their phones are built in a literal sweat shop lol.

In any case, it was a ridiculous thing to use to weasel their way out of a repair given how unreliable those markers are. I would definitely have taken as much evidence as possible and reported it to the consumer watchdog in your country.

Again, 🖕Sony

Sony has always treated its customers like absolute trash from the get go. As a kid, I had a stereo that ended up dying. They weaselled out of the warranty. Flash forward to my Sony headphones where one ear died and they did the same. Forward again to my Ericsson phone whose screen died due to “water damage” (the markers were triggered by a friend who worked in their repair department said all phones on high humidity zones were always triggered because back then phones weren’t even dust proof). They sent it back refusing to fix it.

Since then they have been on my embargo list. One of the worst companies for caring about their customers.

🖕

We let Google self regulate. We let Facebook self regulate. We let Microsoft self regulate. How did that turn out again??

lol. You give an ad spot way too much credit

Give it another 10 years, you won’t “own” anything. It’ll be “licensed.” Weird tho. Digital content is endless. But you can’t consume it into extinction; physical things are finite, but we’re like here take it! It’s yours! Call a cop or shoot anyone trying to take it.

Seems backwards to me.

And a myriad of fake ones piggybacking off the original URL to JavaScript your mouse clicks into link backs so it takes 8 clicks on a link to find the file is dead anyway.

Yeah this is so wrong. I read stats claiming only the top 30% make $70k annually or more. That’s basically $4k a month take home. Given rent and bills, that actually likely leaves people with like $1,500 for food and other. Given the cost of food, I can’t see anyone eating on a budget of $200 a month. Even eating moderately costs about $400-500 and you’re likely making most of your meals from scratch.

And that’s the top 30%. What are the other 70% living like? Because I buy a dozen eggs, some milk, a loaf of bread and I’m down like $20.

Look man. A private tracker is a bunch of dudes that run a website. That’s it. It just so happens the site hosts torrent links. It’s not Google with billions at its disposal to craft sophisticated surveillance level tech.

Most of the time things like maintaining a good ratio, banning for hit and runs, etc. are automated, done by bots. No person wants to search databases for single users.

With that said, assume admins can and will see things you post, even DMs. But that’s about it. Access to torrents on the tracker are all automatic too.

99% of private trackers use it to generate money. Either they have a deal with seedboxes, VPNs, or find others ways to monetize the site by donations, etc.

That’s it. Just use a VPN to protect yourself from actual legal threats. Don’t worry about the tracker as a vector.

Yeah, it’s kinda like their main thing. You just get thawed or what.

Yeah I can read between the lines but don’t see any point to it all. I don’t even know how the courts processed any of it given the language alone.

Lovely the legal system can afford to appeal to nut jobs 🫠

Using Wipr on iOS, which has no special abilities other than blocking ads using EasyList and don’t have any issues.

Also, I don’t see why thetvdb would be so aggressive given their content is crowdsourced.

Yeah what made the universe great was Miller really fleshed it out, especially the last film. From unique colloquialisms set in that tone, to all the designs and “brutality” of the wasteland.

This looks like a shitty money grab rather than an inspired project.

Yeah we can all see thru them like my cousins underpants

Your code made it to the time change!!?

I dunno, they seem to always find innovative ways to screw, well, everyone.

Wait…
