Tvs have a short lifespan, now. People have to replace them like every 5 years on average, I'd guess. I think people have less tvs in their homes, though.

The other part of this is that people brought a lot of tvs up to a couple years ago when there was a decade long stretch of LED back-lit tvs. The problem was that there might be 100 leds back there and a single one going out junked the tvs. They were cheaply fixable, but not easily fixable. Most people wouldn't be able to do it.

He's about to steal more of it from me. I've been waiting months for 1.6 to start up a new save. Been holding out on playing sv on my steam deck instead of pc.

Flashbacks of how lit the Queen of the Damned soundtrack was.

I believe this method came out weeks ago and I had thought I'd read tesla already took care of it, but may be wrong. You still have to hang out long enough to get someone who actually wants wifi, but doesn't want to stay at their car where the wifi is at, and then will also fall for a phishing attack and put in their verification code sent to their phone into the fake site.

All to swipe a car that's going to be noticed as being stolen very quickly, and when all teslas come standard with GPS location tracking.

So what's the point of stealing a car after possible hours and hours of waiting for a mark and then taking it while the owner can report it and it's location the entire time.

It's a sham, imo. I was on reddit for 15 years. It has peaked already. They won't be able to get more for ads and I don't believe their data for AI will go higher than what they've gotten for it this year. The only way they'll be worth more is to cut overhead.

I am aware. It's valuation was in the article.

Their pre order ipo is wanting and planning on like $31 to $34 a share. I'm thinking no.

These aren't even games they (warn a brotha) own. Just a handful of games released through adult swim made and owned by other people.

Man, Mine was Prowler587@aol.com (I changed the numbers for leave me alone purposes) and I made it in the 90's when I was like 13. A lot of my screen names at websites continued to be that for several years and one of those sites I still get on and use.

Only years later as the internet evolve did I ever think to self reflect at how creepy a screen name that was while going around and hanging out in chat rooms. I picked the name because the Plymouth Prowler had just come out and I had it on one of my school folders and I thought the car looked really awesome.

TLDNR: Plymouth made me look like a creep.

Keeping old comments data is small and relatively cheap to store. I'm sure they've kept backups. Probably even yearly ones for the past 5 years. Storage for text really doesn't take up much room. There's over 4,500,000,000 words in the entirety of Wikipedia. You can download it all right now if you'd like. An offline copy of wiki is currently about 95GB. Probably half the size of your last CoD game update.

There's still a lot of totally bullshit exemptions in this. Like, I can't fix my electric toothrush? Effing reall?
