    School failed to report AI nudes of kids for months. Now parents are suing.

    that's why the poster said minimum $20,000. I don't have kids and I'm not really up on what such schools charge. Like everything, tuitions likely spiked in just the last few years. I wouldn't be surprised if some schools were even higher that $40K. That's yearly university levels at some...

    A lot of people are mistaking Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites for UAPs

    On the subject of homeschooling, most people don’t know there are two distinct groups. I learned this only a few years back. There’s the fundamentalist religious, anti-government types wacko types, who teach a narrow world view. Then there are the secular type who happen to live in poor...

    A lot of people are mistaking Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites for UAPs

    You could have stopped your post at the first sentence. This is where the backwards slide into intolerance and hate started for them.

    Review: Amazon’s 2024 Kindle Paperwhite makes the best e-reader a little better

    I'm disturbed that everything is going to ads on already purchased devices and they're holding you ransom for more money to remove them, either out of the box or as a added 'service'.

    Smaller than an Escalade IQ, bigger than a Lyriq: The 2026 Cadillac Vistiq

    Well, I do own a first gen 500e if you need a data point.

    Tech industry fears China will retaliate against Trump’s 60% tariffs

    Looking the other way and not taking the problem seriously is how a far right neofascist government just took power.

    Driving the biggest, least-efficient electric car: the Hummer EV SUV

    And like other commercial vehicles, be relegated to the right two lanes only.

    China’s long-term lunar plans now depend on developing its own Starship

    Well, it's China. I expect a little copy action here, there and everywhere. Absolutely, please take the guy off our hands. I'll even donate to a Go Fund Me for that.

    Sick of supersized EVs? The 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric hits the spot.

    Are Boeing’s problems beyond fixable?

    Dude, nightmare material. Seriously.

    Are Boeing’s problems beyond fixable?

    Yes, fixable. What worked really well before can work again. Reverse all of the BS of the last 20 years.

    Are Boeing’s problems beyond fixable?

    Anytime a question like this comes up, I ask what changed since they were successful? Two highly documented things in the case of Boeing. 1. They ceded control of the company from engineers to the narrow-minded spreadsheet cowboys. 2. The very same moved management away from production for...

    $212 million contract will finally get San Francisco trains off floppy disks

    Don’t assume electrolytic caps. Nicer equipment uses tantalum, which is highly stable in all regards over the long term. On the issue of legacy infrastructure equipment seemingly running ‘old’ tech, that’s the norm. Systems like this go in and last for 20, 30 or more years. I still provide...
