His country trained him to fight. Then he turned against it. More like him are doing the same.
  • You asked why they're basically attacking what they were supposed to defend.

    They consider themselves heroes. They need to be heroes because otherwise they're nothing. And heroes need villains to fight. If you're not hailing them as one of the heroes, then obviously you're one of the villains. It's standard Sith absolutes.

    (Edit: I see the word substitution that turned my reply to nonsense now. Ugh, sorry... :) )

  • Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second
  • The problem is, you don't get a say in the matter. If the marketing company sells on your data, you don't get to say no.

    If Ford wants telemetry on your car (and they do) and they sell it to your insurance company who raises your rates because you don't drive in a manner approved by corporate, you don't get to say no.

    If you search for wigs and antinausea meds, and Google sells that to health insurance who guesses you've got cancer and are a financial liability, you don't get to say no, and you don't get to argue that you were planning for a party.

    If you're a fifteen year old kid and your browser starts showing gay dating ads to your extremely homophobic parents, you'd better hope they don't put it together because you don't get to stop any of it.

    You can control how your data is gathered, but you have ZERO say in how it's distributed and interpreted.

  • Traveler ordered to pay more than $5,000 in fuel costs after flight diverted due to bad behavior
  • The story in the article about the guy who tried to get into the cockpit is amazing... he's lucky he didn't get himself killed by the other passengers. Since that little incident twenty years ago even Granny will chew on your face if it looks like you're pulling that shit.

  • Sonos CEO apologizes for disastrous rollout of new app
  • You don't even need demand eternal support. Just say that if manufacturers want their product to expire like milk, then they can damn well print an expiry date on the package, too.

    How would ""Will cease functioning on <x>" affect consumer purchasing decisions?

  • Google is finally shutting down its link shortener after killing it off years ago
  • I've only ever seen goog.le looks used in spam and phishing emails, so I'm not particularly sad about this

    Of course, there's roughly eighty million other folks who think they've each done a short link provider better, somehow, so this won't make much of a difference beyond not relying on the bots at Google to deal with abuse problems.
