lumberingjack··on Samsung TV owners complain about increasingly obtrusive ads
Am I missing something, I thought big grocery stores where the normal in the states. the Krogers all around us is so big they actually started carrying clothes shoes and outpacing Walmart.
lumberingjack··on Samsung TV owners complain about increasingly obtrusive ads
My Samsung phone has been doing stuff like this lately too accidentally hit the bixby button all the sudden you're in and dated with Samsung store apps asking you to rate them like use the calculator that's built in "please rate this on the Samsung store"
lumberingjack··on Someone has stolen my Instagram account
You don't own stuff that you post on the cloud the cloud is just somebody else's computer
lumberingjack··on Crows possess higher intelligence long thought a primarily human attribute
Hunting them you get just about the same type of stories. Sometimes they realize a hunter has set a trap in the deep forest and they will lead their enemies to the trap. I seen them use tools, and talk to warn others or say "hey get over here!"
lumberingjack··on Firefox usage is down despite Mozilla's top exec pay going up
It would be plenty of money to do what they need to do if they weren't hiring people they didn't need simply to virtual signal somehow thinking that it will bring more users and just generally spending money where they don't need to. Just take a look at some of their employees Twitter's ridiculous office parties ridiculous retreat party culture.

This is what happens when you throw an LGBT office party every weekend. Just one of the many stupid ways they found to spend money.
lumberingjack··on Firefox usage is down despite Mozilla's top exec pay going up
While back Twitter recommended me a tweet from one of Firefox female engineers saying that she was responsible for pocket and updating pocket. many people complain that pocket sucked she claimed them all being misogynists so there's clearly cultural issues at Mozilla.

Not only are problems on desktop that linger for years they change stuff on a whim on mobile and when the users complain about it on Twitter they tell you to shut up and are not very nice about it at all don't want to hear your opinion
lumberingjack··on Firefox usage is down despite Mozilla's top exec pay going up
The entire company is lost the moment they started diversity hiring they have engineers that have no clue what they're doing tweeting about being badasses moving up the high Life ladder. Just take a look at some of the Firefox team"leaders"Twitter clearly culture problems there.
lumberingjack··on Bill Gates slams 'shocking' U.S. response to Covid-19 pandemic
this whole place is turned into Reddit man there's people up top in this comment section complaining that there's not enough testing while they're frolicking around the countryside. Complaining that they want free testing. Imagine a virus so bad you have to get tested to know if you have it or not
lumberingjack··on Bill Gates slams 'shocking' U.S. response to Covid-19 pandemic
Imagine a virus so bad you got to get tested in order to know if you have it or not. You made the choice to go to the park nobody forced you to go there you're going to have to sacrifice some stuff if you want to be 100% safe but trust me buddy CDC websites says 003% that anything is going to happen
lumberingjack··on Nvidia to Acquire Arm for $40B
Welcome to vulture capitalism it's been gutting American industry for about 10 20 years used to be four or five paper mills around here but now they're all in China and everyone who worked there is on drugs now
lumberingjack··on Nvidia to Acquire Arm for $40B
Apple mobile beating arm mobile is pretty irrelevant considering they can barely run the same type of tasks it's a miracle they both have the same benchmarks since they're operating systems are totally different. Beyond that it doesn't even really matter which one's faster because you got all that overhead of the os's that are so different. I would also like to say that Apple users are going to buy the newer chip whether it's faster or not. Because of planned obstinance at a software level. I've never heard an Apple user talk about speed or The benchmark of the phones because that marketing segment is clueless to that. My guess is that Nvidia needs arm for their self-driving stuff.
lumberingjack··on Nvidia to Acquire Arm for $40B
Sounds like with all those new regulations it will be a limiting factor for new jobs not going to set up my company there if I got to jump through hoops like that.
lumberingjack··on Oil Companies Touted Recycling to Sell More Plastic
Last few months this place is turned into reddit as the Reddit folks are exiled and leave in masses that site is just fake user accounts or maybe like 500 people with 5 million accounts. Real users are coming over here remembering that they can actually post stuff and it's screwing up this entire site. Because they vote brigade echo chamber stories.
lumberingjack··on Oil Companies Touted Recycling to Sell More Plastic
When you recycle near me you're mostly just enriching China our local recycle facility does not usually recycle. Only when the recycle machinehas got capacity do we actually take the recycling to any type of recycle facility. Most of the time just gets thrown in the trash dump or it gets shipped overseas so that somebody else can sort through it. Along the way a lot of it mysteriously ends up in the ocean.
lumberingjack··on Postcard stamped in 1920 delivered 100 years later
Post office says postmark is from 1920 the age and legitimacy of the origin of the card is correct. It was lost in 1920 in the mail or it was received kept for so long that it ended up being antique postcard that went through storefront market resold to somebody in modern times And they placed it in the mailbox.

lumberingjack··on Google has removed the option to disable autoplay from Mobile Chrome
I dread updates from google for there apps they break and change stuff that majorly upsets my workflow all the time. The worst I can remember was the no longer unlock screen with google assistant updates like a few years ago. I was at the hospitable in the morning after that update and many sad handless people could not use their life lines because of a fucking update.

lumberingjack··on The US Army spent millions developing giant, six-legged walking trucks in 1980s
We lost every ash tree in Ohio in the last 10 years some places it was 40% of the entire Forest
lumberingjack··on The US Army spent millions developing giant, six-legged walking trucks in 1980s
I have seen working walking Timberjack models in Ohio I have pics from early 2000s someplace of fresh painted unit standing in the woods getting ready to clear some dead forest to stop all the wildfires we where having.
lumberingjack··on Google Earth Timelapse
As I have a 3440x1440 screen it just shows all the city and a bunch of the surrounding area I cant find it. I love that move scene went to see it with friend in theaters like 20 times. Every time I play GTA with 5 stars I remember Morpheus saying "never get on the highway"
lumberingjack··on Intel ousts its chief engineer, shakes up technical group after delays
It did'nt pan out to the tune of 12k people losing their jobs at intel
lumberingjack··on Intel ousts its chief engineer, shakes up technical group after delays
They had that problem for a long time too. See the failed mobile phone chip that wing in that one Asus phone. Everyone looked at the specs two years before release said (that will suck all the battery and be slow) when it came out it sucked all the battery and was slow leading Intel to fire 12k people canceling the program

lumberingjack··on Methane rises to highest level on record
Absolutely this as a native American one of my biggest dreams is to view America before all of the forest was completely removed from the entire country and to see all of mega herds of whitetail deer and bison roam free. Carrier pigeon phlox so large they block out the sky for half a day
lumberingjack··on New Microsoft Edge
Just about every update they push to my main workstation usually breaks something for quite a long time. the recent update which I thought I had deferred broke every single thumbnail and the system's ability to remake thumbnails on a machine that stores millions of video files. The heck with using their browser I don't want that to be broken after Avery pushed update too

I feel like doing the project in Lagos is going to confuse people but when you put the final gear bedded into concrete that sort of gets the point across
