How come LED Light Bulbs only last for about 2-3 Years?
  • +1 for philips.

    The problem is most of what the big box hardware stores in the US are selling are junk brands. And they won't even offer basics like a philips 75-watt-equivalent soft-white led in their stores.

    The junk brand bulbs will fail in my kitchen light fixture after a year (they start flickering). The philips bulbs have never failed for me.

    A properly designed and produced led bulb should last like 20 years.

  • YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog
  • And then there are people like me, who aren't opposed to paying for access in theory, but will never be okay with having the videos I watch be tied to an account. It's inconvenient and I don't trust Google with my watch history, even when the option is turned off.

    Also I wouldn't pay until: Youtube stops showing ads for hate groups; stops its manipulative recommendations and push towards right-leaning and extremist content; stops manipulating creators to all make the same kind of video in order to please the algorithm; removes hate content and extremist content; stops auto-flagging and removing fair-use content.

  • California governor signs law to protect children from social media addiction.
  • The law bans platforms from sending notifications without permission from parents to minors between midnight and 6 a.m., and between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays from September through May, when children are typically in school.

    Wait, they hardcoded the school season and school hours into the law? What about schools that don't follow those schedules?

  • Giant sinkholes in a South Dakota neighborhood make families fear for their safety
  • The area near the 2020 collapse has been [vacated and gated off] but people still live in many of the other homes, usually because they can’t afford to leave.

    This is horrifying. The government (state or federal) has an ethical obligation to get these people into safe housing immediately.

    If it was me living there, the level of stress I would feel knowing that my house and family could be swallowed up at any point would ruin my life. Damn.

    I hope that everyone in that community can get out asap and be expediently and fairly compensated.

  • US: Muslim groups urge voters to back Jill Stein, Cornel West or other pro-Palestine candidates
  • failing to vote for Kamala is voting for trump.

    No, it's literally not. A vote for Trump is a vote for Trump. A vote for Cornel West or Jill Stein is exactly a vote for Cornel West or Jill Stein.

    If you want to argue the math and the practicality of who people vote for in our current system, fine, but don't gaslight people by telling them that their vote for one candidate is actually a vote for a different candidate.

  • ChatGPT teddy bear?
  • Techradar should be ashamed for advertising and promoting this nightmare fuel. What a recipe for disaster.

    Please do not let young kids get over-exposed to AI voices. Current AI voices are lacking in emotion and expression, and it will almost certainly mess kids up psychologically. That damn tik-tok voice is messing me up psychologically and I don't even use tik-tok.

    Edit: And I shouldn't have to say this but also don't leave young kids unsupervised with ChatGPT or any other internet-trained "ai" model.

  • Can we have a discussion about the rhetoric in this community?
  • Good on you to call out body shaming when you see it.

    Body shaming is still far too accepted and pervasive in our society and it should be called out every time we encounter it.

    Thank you for this post. Keep fighting the good fight.

  • Can we have a discussion about the rhetoric in this community?
  • But saying "small dick energy" only works as an insult because having a small dick is still seen by many people as something bad.

    If nobody thought that having a small dick was an insult, then "small dick energy" wouldn't be insulting either.

  • Feds target SUV, truck size to save pedestrian lives — ‘one of the last frontiers of vehicle safety’
  • For the first time ever, manufacturers would be required to study the impact of test dummies hit outside of vehicles. The rules would likely change the design of what America drives permanently.

    That's all the article says about the actual rule changes. Based on this information alone, I know very little about what will actually change.

    I feel like the NHTSA should do way more if they can and argue for limits on light truck sizes in their length, height, weight, and perhaps classification.

  • FBI visits man who said anyone who murders Kamala would be 'a hero'
  • Right! Legal consequences; arrest the guy, charge him with something!

    But showing up to intimidate him and not arrest him? I don't want my government doing that to me the next time I say something they don't like.

  • FBI visits man who said anyone who murders Kamala would be 'a hero'
  • It seems like a case of the government intimidating and harassing a guy (who is awful, no doubt) who seems to have done nothing illegal, based on the fact that he has not been arrested or charged with any crime.

    Are we really okay with this?
