    Doom: Annihilation Gets a Trailer

    At least hire an actress that looks like she can easily lift more than 10 pounds. Reminds me of the huge guns in Tomb Raider. Angelina Jolie's arms looked like they were shaking in some shots and looking malnourished while pulling off gun fights and intense stunts does not impress the movie...

    Energizer Smartphone has a 18,000 mAh Battery

    It also weighs a ton and can literally be used for self defense as the frame is made of metal. We can imagine it being a great phone for long fights or trips in the wild, Anybody else read it like this?

    Amazon is Allegedly Canceling Subscribe & Save Orders to Charge Customers More

    I would say they are related. I've canceled tons of products because the price jumps way too much compared to the first shipment so now they are going to stop alerting you.

    Amazon is Allegedly Canceling Subscribe & Save Orders to Charge Customers More

    Yep, this has been my experience. There is nearly ZERO price consistency unlike when I go to the supermarket and some of my favorite products will stay the same for months and if they do fluctuate, it is only something like 10 to 30 cents. With S&S, the very next month a $5 product could be over...

    California Lawmaker Wants to Move toward E-receipts

    I hope someone comes out with the numbers that show how ridiculous this is much like the straw ban where you found out it comprises .001% of all plastic thrown out and the U.S. comprises less than 5% of all plastic that makes it into the oceans. Maybe this one will reach .05% of all paper waste...

    Roku to Launch Premium Channel Service

    Really love my Roku but I'm not sure what another premium channel can offer that the multitudes of others can't unless they compete on price.

    Internal Conflict Allegedly Kills Google's Censored Search Engine

    Too much money at stake for morals to get in the way. It will still happen but they will take more measures to keep it hush-hush. Not too hard to do when you control the majority of information flow to the public.

    FCC Panel Suggests Taxing Business Internet Usage to Pay for Rural Broadband

    Lol, that's the reason I vote no on just about every proposition, bill, fee, etc my state tries to pass. It always goes in a general fund. No thanks. Unfortunately too many people buy into the false promises and there is zero accountability when the money is not spent as promised.

    San Francisco Passes Proposition C Also Known as the "Homeless Tax"

    I think that depends on what you think is Socialist. I consider the government providing everything as socialist. When you control a person's daily needs, it is socialist imo. https://www.dailywire.com/news/35921/ocasio-cortez-stumped-when-asked-how-shell-pay-40-joseph-curl In this article...

    San Francisco Passes Proposition C Also Known as the "Homeless Tax"

    Just went to Rite-Aid yesterday for some cough syrup. Bought their generic brand that is similar to Nyquil and the cashier asks for an ID. I was thinking how hilarious the timing after commenting in this thread. Yeah, they card you for that now. I'm assuming because the bottle said 10% alcohol...

    San Francisco Passes Proposition C Also Known as the "Homeless Tax"

    If that were true, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Dept of Education, etc would not exist or would be very limited in scope. I think you meant to say Republican instead of conservative. Government has done nothing but grown over the decades. The last true cuts were made way back in the...

    Science Confirms That Bluetooth Headphones Are "Mostly Terrible"

    Homelessness Tax Would Target Rich Tech Sector in San Francisco

    No, capitalism doesn't work. It only made the U.S. the economic power of the world and created a middle class unlike socialist and communist countries where there is only the poor and the elite. /s Yes, it does work. Ben does not believe capitalism to be perfect but if a binary choice had to be...

    Homelessness Tax Would Target Rich Tech Sector in San Francisco

    Big difference from what you are advocating and making sure a business runs morally and legally instead of just take X% more of their money and give it X% of the 'poor' population and everything is now fine. And congratulations on giving the government a pass for taking your money without your...

    Homelessness Tax Would Target Rich Tech Sector in San Francisco

    Then argue with your congressman for a fair tax(i.e. consumption tax), instead of just reallocating wealth that is never efficient and gets misallocated. See 15% of the population that uses Medicare yet 100% of working people are contributing to it and it will be insolvent in 8-12 years. Even...

    Thank you. I started looking at our so-called credit system and where is choice in this? It's a system corporations/big banks put in place and you don't have the option of opting out, that is unless you decide to become a monk. Besides being a millionaire where is the competition to this system...

    You Hate the Planet if You Buy an iPhone XS

    At least for me, about 3-4 years ago, just about any high-end smartphone was 'good enough' and I stopped worrying about getting the next greatest feature, which usually turned out to be not that great considering the price of the new phone. I also used to want the next Android OS update thinking...

    Intel to Outsource Chip Production to TSMC

    I was going to ask so is this how Intel screws AMD behind the scenes because Intel has the money to make a better deal and now AMD will have shortages or take longer to get to market? Hopefully, TSMC has the capacity for both, otherwise, at minimum I can see it affecting AMD's penetration into...

    NVIDIA’s Pierre Terdiman Responds to “Weird, Confused” Comments concerning PhysX

    So much this. I wish Physx had remained an independent company. It would have been interesting if today we would still be buying a dedicated physics card for enhanced gameplay. I essentially don't use any pci-e slots besides for the graphics card.
