Pretty killer specs on paper. In my experience, these AliExpress boards have a bunch of minor annoyances that add up. Examples of those annoyances from my experience include:

• a complete lack of support after the sale (you’ll never get a BIOS update, or if you do, you have to get it from some dodgy Chinese Dropbox-equivalent),
• a lack of 4-pin chassis fan headers,
• outdated SATA controllers that don’t let your computer reach higher C-states, and
• non-standard CPU coolers that you’ll never be able to replace if they fail.

I initially read that headline as “Butt Health Features in Trouble.”

I’ve been watching Ze Frank for too long.

You’re right. See my edit.

Report it to the FTC.

Edit: I named the wrong F agency. It looks like the FCC might be a better option: https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/articles/115002234203-Unwanted-Calls-Texts-Phone

At the same time, it forced me to learn. Nowadays, every game and app you’d want is a few clicks away, and most likely it’ll just work without having to think about IRQ settings or COM ports or whether there’s enough space on your 50 MB hard disk.

Nostalgia

It’s good to see the free market actually working

Everyone here seems pretty negative on this news. Any particular reason?

If you do any business with Japanese or Korean people, then yes, definitely.

Is the 80-character width of early terminals related to the 80-byte capacity of punch cards?

Coleco is gonna be pissed.

Here’s the current list of categories we’re using: animals, arts, autos, business, career, education, fashion, finance, food, government, health, hobbies, home, inconclusive, news, real estate, society, sports, tech and travel.

No pr0n?

If it’s Amazon that’s laying you off, they’ll just shut down your email, Slack, and intranet access before you can start work in the morning, and let you figure the rest out yourself.

In Kagi, you can prioritize results from domains you trust and deprioritize or hide results from domains you don’t like.

Fantasy Zone, Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Hang On, Ghostbusters, and Ghost House. The Master System had some real bangers.

God, Ghostbusters. I never understood the map screen in that game, but it was so much fun to upgrade ECTO-1 and drive around catching ghosts.

Your complaint shows a complete lack of respect for the manufacturer’s profit margins. They probably save a couple bucks per vehicle by skimping on materials optimizing paint dispersion.

Well shit, I just paid for a full year of Mozilla Monitor a couple weeks ago.

Does anyone have recommendations for other info removal services?

EDIT: If anyone else is a paid Mozilla Monitor customer, I encourage you to send Mozilla feedback about this partnership: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/mozilla-account/form

EDIT 2: Mozilla’s response to my message: “We did assess OneRep’s data removal service to confirm it acts according to privacy principles that we advocate at Mozilla. We were aware of the past affiliations with the entities named in the article and were assured they had ended prior to our work together. We’re now looking into this further.”

It seems like Mozilla should have had access to more information during their due diligence process than Krebs would have had as a third party. This is very concerning.

It’s crazy to me that Amazon just lets Krazam film in their offices (and nearly a decade of employment at Amazon tells me that is 100% an Amazon office). They’re such inflexible, ungenerous bastards.

Shitty people raised by shitty or uncaring parents. Couple that with an unprecedented pervasiveness of misinformation—especially related to the medical industry—and you get people like these.

Sorry you have to deal with these a-holes.
