Who reads this anyway? Nobody, that’s who. I could write just about anything here, and it wouldn’t make a difference. As a matter of fact, I’m kinda curious to find out how much text can you dump in here. If you’re like really verbose, you could go on and on about any pointless…[no more than this]

I’ve only used Amazon to buy obscure raspberry pi stuff that isn’t available within a 3000 km radius. Also, roomba spare parts are fine too. If I want something else, I’ll just walk to the nearest store and buy it there. I’ve always wondered why do people want to buy stuff from Amazon or even pay extra to get the prime stuff.

Has anyone made a program for poisoning code? Sort of like the way nightshade is for pictures.

An AI like that might have some spicy exploits.

If you convince a human to give you the password, that’s called social engineering. If you convince an AI send you free stuff, what kind of engineering is that?

Oh absolutely. There definitely are valid use cases for printers just like there are valid ways to use an ice pick. If you need to use huge blocks of ice for something, you really want to own your very own ice pick. Other people might not need one as much as you do.

And it also depends on the communities you visit. If you enjoy verbal first fights, try politics and news. If not, there are also quite a few wholesome communities too.

That’s just the cost of doing business for Amazon. Why should they change their tactics if the fees are that low.

  • Nope, there’s no one here.

It’s been close to 5 years since I needed to print something at work. At home, more like 20 years.

I think the artist behind Mad Max might have some ideas worth exploring. When in doubt, add more spikes.

Sounds like a proper project to me. No wonder companies keep the same stuff for way too long. If it’s not horribly broken and on fire, don’t fix it. Being slightly broken is apparently totally fine though.

If a company does that, they are teaching customers that the original piece is too high and that you can always haggle for a lower one. Is this really what they wanted? Sounds like this could hurt your business.

I know some people who still do that with the right click menu. Then again, they don’t really copy-paste stuff very often. Maybe only once a week or so.

This is pretty cool. We really have moved over from Reddit, since we already have some of the niche communities. There are plenty of Linux users already, so it shouldn’t take long for people to start posting there.
