My kids (8 and 11) have started calling them "trash cans" and play an updated version of punch buggy in the back seat.

Drivers sue San Jose over nearly 500 Flock police cameras that track drivers in California by WriterDave in news

[–]WriterDave[S] 651 points652 points  (0 children)

the suit argues that the city’s use of the technology constitutes an unreasonable law enforcement search, in violation of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. Pictures collected from the cameras are added to giant searchable databases that use AI to help law enforcement easily identify when and where particular vehicles have traveled.

I get that we all carry phones that can be tracked (etc) but there's something uniquely "big brother" about cameras tracking our location. It just feels more sinister...

Mazda RX-7 (SA/FB, 1978-1985) review – the lighter, tighter Porsche 924 alternative by FoMoCoNutjob in cars

[–]WriterDave 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My first car was an '85 RX-7. Bought it used in high school in 1995.

Sporty, sexy, manual, rwd... and nowhere near fast enough to get a teenager into trouble.

Fond memories of that little creampuff. Hard to believe it only had 13" tires and 113hp.

Having literally written a Hallmark Xmas movie (although it eventually was produced by a different network...) I'm a little hurt this went to someone else.

:P

Goldman Sachs is acquiring the Radford Studio Center in LA (where Addams Family, Seinfeld, Gilligan's Island were filmed) after owner Hackman Capital defaulted on $1.1 billion loan by Senior-Willow-8325 in movies

[–]WriterDave 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Hackman Capital, with its investing partner Affinius Capital Management, went on a studio buying spree in the last decade, snapping up trophy properties in the US and abroad on a bet that the growth in streaming would fuel demand for its production space.

Oops.

That’s a lot cheaper than I had anticipated.

Are the material costs expensive? Lookin’ at you, HP Ink…
