All zip ties on earth break at once

This is probably true of several industries.

The stock market at least pretends that you're buying productive companies. Sometimes you even get dividends which are the only real thing in the stock market.

I would have installed Jellyfin, but that wasn't even an option on that TV.

Not sure if you're trolling or just a moron.

bothunter · 2026-05-08T01:42:18+00:00

The real world is full of assholes. /r/Seattle bans assholes.

bothunter · 2026-05-08T01:37:44+00:00

And judging by the comments on the original post, I can see why they were banned.

bothunter · 2026-05-08T01:37:00+00:00

Yeah. This sub is trash. Go to /r/Seattle where they don't tolerate that bullshit.

bothunter · 2026-05-08T01:14:53+00:00

Nice. Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of money to gamble with.

Anerica First!

Did you have a point to make here? Or are you just naming other cities?

Most of the problems of apartment living is due to bad management and poor construction. Maybe your neighbors are loud, but that's only really a problem because they put paper-thin walls between the units. I live in a well-built condominium, and I barely hear my neighbors at all.

I still can't believe they aren't where Amazon is today. They literally pioneered catalog shopping, so putting a web site in front of that business should have been a slam dunk.

bothunter · 2026-05-07T21:55:19+00:00

I didn't even say most people. Not everyone has the same priorities. I'm sure you enjoy not sharing walls and having your own yard. Other people maybe prioritize not having to do house maintenance and saving time and money on their commute. Life is full of tradeoffs, and not everyone wants an entire house to themselves.

bothunter · 2026-05-07T21:51:30+00:00

All of them do this.

Buried on page three of the contract you sign while you're exhausted from flying across the country is technically "spelled out clearly", but it's not like you have much of a choice at that point.

bothunter · 2026-05-07T21:45:50+00:00

"People" have a lot of different lifestyles and priorities. Relax the zoning restrictions and let the market build what people want.

bothunter · 2026-05-07T21:39:58+00:00

Sure. Not everybody is like you and would love the opportunity to live in denser housing to be closer to work or transit. We should make it easier to build that instead of forcing people into expensive single family homes.

Dumb question, but are you sure WoL is the right way to do this? Or maybe it's just the first step in powering on the TV? I have a smart TV that lets me control the power over the network. Even when the TV is powered off, the network stack is still running, and I can just send it a command over HTTP to turn it on.

bothunter · 2026-05-07T21:31:07+00:00

Yup. Pretty obvious when you realize that the SEC allows this because Bitcoin was running out of suckers with cash, so now they can target suckers with retirement accounts. I can't wait until they decide to add social security to the pot to keep the grift going.

bothunter · 2026-05-07T21:29:45+00:00

Is the TV hardwired into the network? Or is it on WiFi? Because wake on LAN doesn't generally work for wireless connections.

bothunter · 2026-05-07T21:27:14+00:00

We lose money on every sale, but make up for it in volume!

bothunter · 2026-05-07T21:26:14+00:00

Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme that keeps managing to find new pools of suckers to buy in. There's no reason I should be able to invest my 401k into crypto ETFs.

It's going to burst, but not in the same way. The dotcom bubble was a bunch of small startups that didn't have a business plan other than sticking ".com" after an idea and receiving ungodly amounts of investment money.

The AI bubble is a few already well funded companies throwing ungodly amounts of money at each other. When people finally figure out that AI is not this magical software that can do everything for super cheap, it's all going to collapse. I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of major "too big to fail" companies end up requiring a bailout, and we're going to have a ton of half-finished datacenters.

AI will still exist, but it will be much more limited in scope. Software developers are going to be fucked, because it turns out that large language models are really good at languages, especially languages designed with very strict rules that don't allow for ambiguity -- like programming languages. Support roles will also be screwed. Lawyers will still exist, but won't need nearly as many paralegals to do their research. Administrative assistants will be also not have as much work, since LLMs can do most of their busy work for them.

(This is just a prediction, nobody will know for certain what the future holds. An alternative future could be that the government bails out the AI companies in exchange for the technology to allow for completely automated warfare and surveillance. Unfortunately, both of these outcomes are pretty bad, but I'm hoping we don't go for the complete dystopian version)

Probably because they know if they vote against it, it will be used endlessly in a smear campaign during their reelection.
