Blackmist,

I sometimes think that mine is working alright, and then I try and use it in the dark and it fails 3 times in a row because it turns out it usually gives up and uses face recognition.

And this is a proper Google phone. What must the shit brands be like?

And the only advantage is that you have more screen space which is now covered with indicators for back, home, etc, because you can fuck off if you think I’m using gestures for that shit.

Blackmist,

I had to put mine in a case. Any use without is just “oh, was that a gesture”.

No motherfucker, I’m just trying not to drop £500 of glass-coated electronics that I rely on for fucking everything.

Blackmist,

I could have been a member of house Makita, but house DeWalt was slightly closer and it was raining on the day I needed a drill.

Blackmist,

That’s DeWALT now. All rolled up into the Black and Decker-verse.

Blackmist,

Would that show up in browser stats though?

Steam Deck is neat and all but I’ve never thought of it as anybody’s main browsing device.

Blackmist,

Really milking that fad before they inevitably push anything useful behind a monthly paywall.

Blackmist,

The password one is also when they’re on the wrong site and now they’ve just typed all their passwords and account names into microsoftoffice365.scammer.ru

Blackmist,

He lives in the cloud?

No wonder he always seems to need money. His AWS bills must be enormous.

Blackmist,

Grower gang wins again.

Blackmist,

1st Jan? Smells like an expired certificate somewhere in whatever chain of DRM bullshit they use.

Blackmist,

Component, composite, s-video and stereo sound in one cable. Although it did mean that you’d have to be careful because a cable to something like a PS2 might only implement the lowest quality of them.

Blackmist,

No because taxation would be adjusted so the average person is no better off.

It’s about raising the lowest earners to a minimum level that they’re able to live on, without making them jump through hoops or prove they are poor or prove they have been looking for work for 40 hours a week or some bullshit.

Blackmist,

I love how people think that benefits are now called UBI.

I guess the billionaires successfully stamped that idea out.

Blackmist,

The idea is that the average person earning will pay the UBI amount back in tax. The taxation systems will all have to be adjusted. It’s not free money on top of what we have now.

Most people will not be significantly better off under UBI, just a base level that we can’t go below, that will be there for any reason from “can no longer work” to just “want a break from it all”.

Blackmist,

So they can make your phone go bingedybeep and show you more adverts, while slurping up any data the browser doesn’t usually let them access.

Blackmist,

They already fucked up music earlier in the year, so I’m now fully out.

Blackmist,

Wait, what the fuck do Americans think pigs in a blanket is?

Blackmist,

You have to remember that the underlying principle of JavaScript seemed to be “never throw an error”, even if what it’s being told to do is weapons grade bollocks.

Blackmist,

Sounds like the boring voiced aliens from Mass Effect.

Blackmist,

It could have worked because people who need the /s are the same people driving an SUV like that anyway.

Blackmist,

Wasteful. Just use an Amiga IFF file.

Blackmist,

And why are there multiple sizes of NVME screw?

Blackmist,

Is that from Viz?

Blackmist,

Two days in and Japan already had an earthquake and a place crash.

2019 might just have been a trailer for 2024…

Blackmist,

Unless you’re Pythagoras. Motherfucker invented the triangle. Shit like that goes a long way.
