Wasn't Garland specifically picked to be as uncontroversial a choice as possible?

And meanwhile I'm pretty sure there's some completely different no-name store brand called Best Foods in the eastern US.

Frankenstein's creation didn't "work properly" either and if I recall, that was kind of the problem.

Wait, EverQuest still exists??? I literally haven't heard anyone refer to it in the present tense in over a decade. Meanwhile WildStar didn't last more than a few years. There's justice for ya.

Oh, and if the Lay's/Walker's situation counts, there are also cases of the same thing happening even within a single country. Hardee's and Carl's Jr. are effectively the same restaurant, and so are Checkers and Rally's. Different names, same logo style and décor, same menu as far as I know...

This isn't even the first time I've had the opportunity to post this here.

That was another thing the video covered. All the claims that because the blockchain is decentralized, you're not reliant on a central authority to keep the records alive, are also bullshit. Because there's not enough room in a block for a whole image file, they just contain the URL of some copy...

That's actually one of the things he touches on, the myth that the blockchain is in any way suitable for sensitive information. It may be nearly immune to man-in-the-middle attacks, but the old standby of finding someone who has write permissions and tricking them into giving you access through...

Apple has a free-recycling policy for both obsolete and broken units—it's the cornerstone of their boasts about being environmentally friendly which I'm sure is worth a ton in tax breaks—but I think you have to turn them in at an Apple Store specifically. And of course, as with all recycling, I...

See, that's a fallacy I think we need to get over—treating every drop as the bottom falling out of it. Like, almost as long as the public has been aware of Bitcoin, every single time its value seemingly tanked, everyone was like "Well so much for that lol"... and then the line goes back to...

Dan Olson did a video yesterday. It's long as hell, so I'll sum up the most important part: If you thought the environmental threat was the worst thing about crypto and NFTs... well, you're probably still right, but it turns out there are a ton of runners-up that are each making the world a...

Actually now that you bring it up, that's almost definitely what's going to happen. There was a statement from someone involved with the film—already long buried by the Twitter algorithm—saying something like "Once I started to dig into his past, I knew this had to be a movie." Which contradicts...

Wait, how does that make sense? It's easier to convince them to send him free money if they don't think it's going toward a campaign? What do they think it's for then? If anything, he's tricking them into assuming he's going to run, but because he hasn't declared yet, he has the freedom to just...

On that note, does Lay's/Walker's count? They were both separate brands originally, and then Frito-Lay decided to redesign the Walker's bag to match the Lay's one after the buyout.

The best we can hope for is either (A) Biden choosing to step down and let Harris run in his stead, and/or (B) Trump continuing to alienate the antivaxxers to the point where they refuse to vote for him, possibly combined with a split vote between him and whatever antivaxxer steps up to be the...

Wait, that reminds me... Activision for some reason made a Wolfenstein game one time and it got delisted from Steam because licensing jive. Does this mean we're going to get that back now?

My dad works at a school, and they were throwing out a bunch of stuff, including six iPads. What you see before you are two gen 4s, one gen 3 (32GB cellular model, which must have cost a pretty penny when it was new), and three first-gen Airs. The gen 4s are running iOS 10.3.3, the Airs are...

Great. Now COVID germs can just spontaneously generate, like the stinkbugs in my windows. Whatever wants humanity extinct has just dispensed with the subtlety at this point.

I just realized. The PlayStation's own mascots now belong to Sony's biggest competitor. Somebody find out who at Sony passed up the opportunity to buy those IPs, and check on them to see if they're OK.

Honestly their willingness to bail out a company that's been involved with such terrible jive just makes me want to know how much dirty laundry of their own Microsoft has, and how long we'll have to wait until it's all made public. If someone has, perhaps, been on the fence about leaking the...
