I have an anecdote that says the opposite. I got the same fridge, washer, and dryer from LG when we moved in our house 10 years ago and have had no problems with any one of them. My wife hates that we got a model with the freezer as a drawer on the bottom and would have preferred a side by side but no problems with anything breaking.

Our Bosch dishwasher on the other hand had a gasket start leaking during the pandemic and it took the repair people 4 or 5 months to get a replacement in. I think they were redesigning a faulty part at the same time as all the supply chain issues so we had a really bad time with that. It was only a couple years old at the time and has worked ever since.

Reading this makes me want to find a Linux distribution that does not use the gnu stuff at all.

Good luck proving that your data came from meta sources after you paid.

How about if you have a destination, find me a rest area/restaurant/whatever that is on the route. Not just around somewhere.

Now we have murderers who just spent the last 1000 years reading philosophy books.

Tell that to my (nonexistent) off-site backup.

I’m mad that they did their broken implementation of sending control codes between devices that never works. I have to disable it on everything so that the correct input gets set.

And then they are killing the universal remote industry so there is nothing to replace it with.

My favorite thing is when banks don’t allow passwords that have spaces in them or are more than 12 characters long.

Honestly there should be a standard of what security means, like how passwords are stored and how TOTP is implemented, and if a bank doesn’t implement it then THEY are responsible for any “identity theft” that happens on their site, not the users.

I think my oven/stove can be connected. I have never tried because I don’t see the need to preheat my oven when I am not home.

This is what I do as well. I always have Firefox running and can easily search the extension for whatever password I need and it is just as easy to copy from there as opening another tool.

That being said the iOS app is great for when I am away from my laptop.

I would say that both osx and Linux are flavors of Unix, not that macs run Linux.

Wow, I think I had an Okidata modem at one point. I haven’t thought about that in a long time.

I got a Canon MF3010 laser printer a few years back. It is attached to a print server made out of an old Mac laptop I had. It has been great. I can print to it from anything, Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and I have had to replace the toner once since I got it.

Social media sites are expected to just assume everyone is a minor unless they upload a picture of their ID proving they are an adult.

Yeah, but can it run Multifinder?

I watched Wall-E last weekend. They didn’t mention in the Buy-N-Large advertisement that the Morlock worker group was left on earth to starve when the upper class was sent to live on a luxury liner.

Yeah, I have that at home but never bothered to set that up when outside the house. This just lets me do whatever while waiting at the doctors office or whatnot.

It works great as a poor man’s ad blocker.

Would the courts laugh at it? I believe it is up to the states to decide how they want to choose their electors, and it is just tradition that dictates they go to the popular vote. In fact, this is the way the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is designed to get rid of the electoral college.

I would bet they WANT to courts to come in and decide that a state MUST deliver their delegates to the popular vote so that the NPVIC is dead in the water.

I don’t think I saw him spin around three times with his eyes crossed. He is still under normal law.
