The FCC just saved Netgear from its router ban for no obvious reason How did Netgear do it? Nobody’s saying.

Last month the Trump FCC announced a "ban" on all foreign made routers (almost all of them), demanding ambiguous favors from manufacturers if they wanted to continue doing business in the U.S.

Netgear is the first to gain approval. Did they agree to bribes? Backdoors? who knows! 🗽💩

J.D. Vance as Death going down a series of doors marked Pope Francis, Iran negotiations, Viktor Orban’s re-election and U.S. midterms.

I, for one, would enjoy a government which is not quite so repugnant.

First Western Digital, now Sony: The tech giant suspends SD card sales A sign of the times.

We're going to face almost every other part of the economy buckling under the weight of losing vital components.

It's approaching the point where people won't be able to buy cars and appliances because manufacturers siphoned all excess NAND flash and DRAM production to "AI" companies.

Machine learning can do legit cool things, it has tons of applications in software & research & even art, but as I’ve said many times, those uses are “boring” to investors and developing them properly for sustained practical ethical use doesn’t make line go up fast enough for the investment ghouls

Day two of the Chicago Stationery Fest and I’ve busted out a sentiment that everyone here agrees with.

The 150th anniversary season of the National League starts next month and #MLB has yet to announce #Pillbox hats for NL teams. Travesty.

To definitively answer the burning question I know has been keeping everyone up at night:

Yes, NSO Virtual Boy is compatible with TOOL 10,000 Days. And it looks amazing.

“DHS traps people with serial killer methods” arrives in the news one (1) day after “DHS taunts jailed children with Nazi methods,” for those keeping track

Happy Valentines Day! I hope you get to spend it with whoever it is that makes you a better person.

I’m looking at you Malort. #chicago

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

a close up of a man 's face with a ponytail Alt: scene from the film they live where a man is putting on sunglasses that let him see subliminal messages, and a billboard changes so it just says "OBEY"

I think it's clear now that John Carpenter's They Live (1988) was actually pretty accurate, except instead of aliens ruling the world through the media, it's rich paedophiles.

a cartoon of two robots with the words who is that fool on the tv Alt: Cobra Commander from the GI Joe cartoon, looking at a screen with his own image on it and saying, “Who is that fool on the TV?”

Someone should go through old G.I. Joe cartoons and compare Cobra Commander’s hare-brained schemes to Trump’s. I’ll bet COBRA’s are more realistic. (@mcsweeneys.net, you game?)

This is important and, also, not not new. There were reports of this in LA, Portland, and Chicago, at least, as well.

I don’t know who this Minnesota man is, but he absolutely speaks for me.
