Screamers (1995)
  • I love this movie. The action is fun but it also has a deeper subtext about consciousness and whether machines can think, etc. It is based on the short story Second Variety by Philip K. Dick.

  • ELI5 How someone can get the majority of American's to vote for them by winning the popular vote but still lose the election? Kind of like Hillary did?
  • The main reason is that the number of electoral votes for each state is not proportional to it's population. Some states get significantly more electoral votes per capita than others. So if you win the disproportionally-large states, you can lose the popular vote but win the majority of electoral votes.

  • Meta is a complete dumpster fire

    Nothing profound here, just need to vent: I haven't used Facebook for several years now, but I just got my 10 year old son a Meta Quest 2 and had to activate it by linking to my Facebook account. Just two days later I got a warning that the account will be locked because they detected that a child was using the Quest with an adult account (maybe because of the types of games he was playing?). My options are to either make him his own, restricted account (requires a credit card for verification) or prove that I am in-fact an adult (requires photo ID). No fucking way is Facebook getting either my credit card or photo ID. This is some sorry attempt to extort even more personal info from people. I can't understand how so many people tolerate this. How is this company still in business, let alone worth half a trillion dollars? If I had known how bad things have gotten, I would never have bought their VR.

    Bluetooth-to-3.5 mm that can TX/RX simultaneously?

    I need to adapt a Bluetooth headset (speakers + mic) to 3.5 mm, but the only adapters I can find will either transmit or receive, not both at the same time. Is there some technical limitation why this can't be done, or is there just no market for such a device? Thanks.
