I think it was voice activated.

Well it is sound activated, it flushes when it detects the “aaaaaaaaaah” sound of relief after refuse vacation has completed.

If there is no such sound, obviously your work is not done, and there is no need to flush.

Massive X data leak affects over 200 million products.

FTFY.

I’ve had a good moment with a german crime show where the tech guy just said “Nope, not possible.”

Was it Luke Skyvvalker or Ham Solo?

Packaging said dishwasher safe.

Maybe they meant the packaging was dishwasher safe 🤔

As a long time C/C++ developer, I think it has a lot of really great ideas. The one thing preventing me from using it a lot more is that there is no stable ABI that would allow to use shared libraries in Rust - everything is statically linked, and if I use the same crates in a number of programs, the same code exists in each of these programs. That is not really a good thing whne you try to develop for a system with very limited space and where program load times make a difference, such as for certain embedded platforms.

But honestly, Rust support in the Linux kernel? Java never got that far, nor any other language (apart from C, obviously).

What are the complaints?

Guy 1: Can you enhance that grainy camera picture so I can make out that license plate so I can read it? Even though the license plate is just two pixels in the original recording?

Guy 2: Sure. I’ll just use this wondertech to… ah, there you go. One click did it.

Ban the sun while you’re at it, it is the source of all that glare, after all. Glaring obvious!

Synthpop: Pitch Yarn of Matter from Brazil

Any From Dusk Till Dawn apart from the original.

Well… a turnip, obviously.

It bears repeating though. Far too many people think that slavery ended a long time ago.

[…] that few people have even noticed that their government appears to already be initiating a system of off-shore, industrialized slavery.

… as opposed to the system of on-shore, industrialized slavery already in place for decades? AKA the prison-industrial complex? That legally and officially still is slavery, after all.

“under Dutch control”. Damn muppets.

My face is a traitor, too.

You can sell whatever you want (within reason) in Germany - you just then can’t put the word “bier” on the label. Not really stopping anyone, if you call it “Hopfenkaltschale” (“hops cold dish”) or “Gerstensaft” (“barley juice”), everyone will still know what you mean.

I could go on all day, the USA is not a free market.

I should have said “free as in predator”.

If they woke up, they’d be voting for neither republicans nor democrats, but a party that wasn’t financed by and run for billionaires.

That’s always been “free” as in “market”.
