What they’re afraid of is that they don’t know how he’ll respond.

Bombardier: we’re no longer Canadian, but we’ll make you a car if you pay us enough!

I didn’t buy an EV in 2025 because they’re too expensive for what you get.

Then again, I also didn’t buy a pickup in 2025 because they’re too expensive for what I need.

Cheap commuter EV? As long as it’s cheaply repairable, I’m in. I don’t expect that to be the case, sadly.

My imagined Trump response:

“Sure thing! Where is she?”

But it’s still officially an alpha release, right?

What I’d like to know is, why does Trump feel so insecure unless he takes one of Denmark’s islands? What is he afraid of?

And if it’s not him, and someone else is feeding him this garbage… why?

I mean, there’s plenty of time to forcibly take Greenland AFTER the world begins to fall apart. So why now?

Are you looking for likeminded individuals with which to cross-train your model?

Vulnerability to whom? Russia is no longer a military threat, and China is a threat in ways Trump is unable to comprehend (considering the US is more at threat than Canada). That leaves… vulnerable to the US? We already knew that.

Not copium when the purpose is different.

A mix of both; finding old gear and combining parts to restore functional units, repairing where needed and learning more about how the systems work in the meantime.

And older SIMMs and DIMMs are relatively cheap right now — you can create a maxed out system for its era and still do everything on the computer that was possible to do when it was new.

There’s even great web proxies for older systems now, so if you want to, you can browse the modern web on a computer from 1996.

Have they detained John Oliver yet? It’s only a matter of time.

Switch to retrocomputing; it’s currently significantly more affordable.

Nobody wins. Someone just gets control of the official narrative.

But who’s the “you” you’re asking here?

I thought the POTUS couldn’t break the law? Or does that go out the window once they’re not sitting? Does Trump really want to set THAT precedent?

Reolink and Tapo products can both be set up in LAN-only mode. Many Reolink products can even go one step further and be optionally fully wired.

They can also operate off SD card, and have a free cloud-managed option with subscription upsell. So you can choose to use the configuration that fits your own privacy model.

I always use devices with SD cards, so that even if there’s a stealth firmware update, I’ve got the video on local media.

My personal happy place is SD + RTT to my Home Assistant server, which I can access via VPN anywhere.

Easier to say “everyone but the US and possibly NK.”

You think the government is trying to do a Han Solo here?

Did the 28% who approved of the shooting watch the videos???

I guess we’ve found the basket of deplorables.

I visit some partially built homes from time to time, and recently saw one just after it had been inspected. On one wall, on the insulation, the inspector had scrawled STUD? In red felt.

The stud was completely missing from the wall. It was just an empty frame filled with insulation. You’d think someone would have noticed earlier during construction, but obviously the actual contractor had just let the day labor go to town and never bothered to review their work before inspection.

You’d probably enjoy my yt channel, but it doesn’t contain tips :)
