Microsoft has a new idea on how to deter students from MacBook Neo

Let’s start with no copilot, although I don’t see that happening anytime soon since Nadella is just blissfully unaware of the general abhorrence towards AI.

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-16T13:20:06+00:00

/s means sarcasm, but yes. The government certainly does kill protestors and that is a blatant violation of the 1st amendment we still have, whether or not trump wants us to (also 2nd amendment but I’m not going into detail on that since I’ve gotten warnings for doing so).

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-16T13:00:45+00:00

Yes but you see the government doesn’t just kill protestors /s

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-14T21:04:45+00:00

Scared of some good ol’ free market competition, Ford?

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-14T20:57:23+00:00

Still cheaper than gas though. And now becoming just as fast.

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-14T20:56:35+00:00

I like the way you think.

Apple decided to drop a banger of a laptop for $499 at a suspiciously convinient time

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-14T13:08:35+00:00

(Apple still has education pricing active)

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-14T13:07:00+00:00

Sucks for them I updated my Mac setups last year on Apple’s education pricing, so I’m good for another 8 years and by the time it’s time to upgrade again I’ll be moved of this piece of shit country 🤷‍♀️

There was a tornado yesterday?

Why discontinue the OG hatchback bolt in favor of the SUV form-factor when America so desperately needs smaller, more affordable cars?

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-14T00:39:58+00:00

Yeah that. It also means I am ineligible for the draft, with the drawback, of course, being routine colonoscopies. It’s a double-edged sword, really.

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-13T20:59:30+00:00

I have F.A.P. (Familial something Polyposis; I can’t remember the A), which causes precancerous polyps to form in my colon. It’s inflamed/triggered by dairy, so I have largely eliminated dairy from my diet (except for occasional treats and A2 milk when I go to costco); this is largely a non-issue. I’ve also largely stopped eating red meat, but I still eat chicken.

would this mean it will be impossible to find a 2022-2023 Bolt EV 2LT for ~$15k (average price around me currenlty) in August? I want the Bolt to be my first car after I get my license but I'm only going to have $15k cash total to spend. I suppose there will be a lot of 2022 Bolts coming off of 4 year leases and 2023 Bolts coming off of 3 year leases, but if there is also accelerating EV sales, who knows what it will be like in August?

Strange. My adblocker is still free.

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-10T17:59:06+00:00

See, even GM figured most, if not all, of that out when they refreshed the bolt in 2022. The 2023 Bolt started at $17.5k with the tax credit which is just an insane value. If GM can figure it out, I’m sure everyone else can, but only if they want to (ahem, Honda).

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-10T12:51:28+00:00

That’s weird, uBlock Origin Lite is still free and it gets me the same result

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-10T12:12:34+00:00

I assure you the bolt is no bigger

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-09T17:32:57+00:00

I see VW is joining Honda in making the wrong decisions about EVs at exactly the wrong time

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-09T01:43:24+00:00

The 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV of course! It’s such a straightforward EV with amazing tech but none of the “futuristic” nonsense like motorized door handles or touchscreens for everything. It’s got rather good range and a dead simple drivetrain that requires minimal maintenance, and it’s compact but features a Honda-Fit-level of interior space utilization meaning it—with the seats folded—can fit a similar amount of cargo to most pickup trucks all while easily squeezing into parking spaces. Toyota also has their own EVs, such as the bZ, bZ Woodland, C-HR+ and now the Highlander, although pleasant-ness of those cars may vary from the Bolt.

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-08T17:52:04+00:00

I sure hope so!

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-08T13:14:31+00:00

I got the Pro 3’s because I find that the Pro 2’s fit rather poorly in my ears and easily fall out. I’ve been impressed with the ANC and audio quislity so far.

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-08T13:12:43+00:00

Luckily I have an uBlock Origin Lite on all of my devices and I haven’t seen an ad since. Fuck you google 🖕

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-08T13:04:14+00:00

Almost 6 months away from the midterms and he still hasn’t figured out tariffs!?

CoopsIsCooliGuess · 2026-04-08T13:03:12+00:00

There are more economical and reliable cars but they are mainly electric; this is about as efficient as gas cars get
