I will note that I did not personally attack you, I did say that your point of view is bullshit and based on fearmongering, but you’re the one that has taken this to personal attacks and name calling.

Attack ideas, not people

Okay, keep vilifying substances instead of systemic issues because someone wasn’t kind enough about it

I dunno about Sweden but at least in America it’s extremely unlikely that you would be prosecuted for simply purchasing 1 unit. That seller on the other hand, he may be in for a bad time. The youtuber is an edge case wherein they popularized the availability of a source

either way fuck that, illegally download and even buy roms

also fwiw all the ambernic stuff is sold on aliexpress. Cut out the middleman and save cash. I’m pretty sure aliexpress ships to Sweden. A lot of them come preloaded tho fyi with Roms and bios for every console supported, which is why it’s absolutely insane they’re going after him and not ambernic

Depends on state and local ordinances as to whether the sealed are required

In my state for example (PA) there is no statewide law for them. Some municipalities like Philadelphia require them but more rural areas like where I live do not, so I can still buy 9v non interconnected detectors at home depot or wherever. But iirc new construction and renovation requiring permits around here requires interconnection (not sure about sealed)

It’s dumb not to get them though. Who wants to deal with a chirp? First thing I did when I bought my house was overhaul smoke detectors, add heat detectors to the attic and garage, fire extinguishers, and one of those collapsible fire ladders to second floor bedroom.

It’s mind boggling how people overlook this stuff. The old owner had 1 detector for the whole house and it was 16 years old by the date code. We have 6 now plus 2 heat detectors. I also added a relay and a Shelly trigger so if they go off I get a push notification through home assistant. It was like $800 for everything, c02 and smoke, extinguishers, the ladder, etc. a lot of money but it’s literally my life and the largest purchase I’ve ever made

It’s kind of a shitty phone but it’s tiny. From a review:

“Some web pages just don't work due to the small screen size - if there's a top and a bottom banner (shopping cart etc.) there's no room left for the actual content”

It’s that tiny. 3” screen, about the size of a credit card, and it has a transparent plastic back which I think is pretty neat

A lot of Americans don’t have a private area outside of their car

I can’t tell you how many of my telehealth therapy clients meet me from their car because they don’t have a truly private space in their own home. I actually can tell you, it’s like 40-50% depending on when you ask me

Look at this dumb asshole that got the $2500-2600 (assuming queen mattress) plus $17/mo or 199/yr subscription mattress cover (eg not the actual fucking mattress or bed frame). What a broke piece of shit. Should’ve gotten the $2850-2950 pod 6

After briefly googling what this actually is and the costs involved I have 0 sympathy for anyone involved. This is 100% tech bro bullshit. A temperature controlled bed sounds neat, I guess, and I am always a sucker for analytics, but this is possibly the most consumer hostile bullshit I have ever seen. It is all of the worst practices of modern tech wrapped into a device:

Grossly overpriced? Check

$350 upsell for physical controls? Check

Tons of vague language about health benefits that extrapolate valid claims onto their product, suggesting their product has benefits beyond something far cheaper (eg temperature does impact sleep but a $10 fan or $150 window unit would likely be fine because research is generally about environment and not about the surface of the bed)? Zero research about the device itself and zero funding for them to get this product investigated? Check

Subscription required? Not technically, core functionality still works, but you lose all the analytics, all the “smart adjustments” of temperature (it basically will just hold a constant temperature throughout the night whereas the subscription will adjust it gradually based on movement) and the biggest point is that your warranty is voided and you lose all support if you don’t maintain a subscription

Also while I don’t know this for sure I am betting there is 0 chance that you can fix this thing if it breaks.

This thing is so dumb and if you buy it I will judge you. You could buy a 2001 Honda accord LX with 141,000 miles. for that price. That’s a reliable car. I had one and drove it to 200k, sold it and I’m sure it ran for a while longer. Maintain it well and you’ll get 250-300k out of that bad boy. Meanwhile your dumb water bed cover will break and leak all over which is apparently so bad people all worry about all the posts theyve seen about leaking and the social media team has to come share blog post about how they make them less shitty now. sorry if you got the first batch, i guess. But it’s okay because as dumb redditors point out you can give them another $500 to extend the warranty to 5 years. Just remember to keep that subscription active or that warranty is void you stupid piece of shit.

you still need a fucking mattress! You know someone buying this isn’t throwing it on a $400 ikea mattress. They’re going for the $3200 foam mattress. I am so mad about this

Edit: it also sells the biometric data its harvests about you to advertisers. Reddit posts show it uploads anywhere from 10-30gb of data per month, so it’s collecting quite a bit of data

Rebecca ass is shockingly tame for old James Bond

Pussy Galore is unironically a character name in Goldfinger (1964)

Listen, brown, light green, red, and pink paid for advertising and that matters much more than your search query

Maybe I’m bad at colors

Destroy the advertising industry. Burn it alllll down

The deinstitutionalization and movement to prison was something that began long before Reagan. Really goes back to the end of ww2 and Kennedy. though reagan definitely accelerated it by a great deal by decreasing budgets substantially and increasing incarceration rates significantly

Reagan was a monster though. What a great day it was when he died

This is pretense to intrude on other things and more importantly remove the ability to browse pornography anonymously, which is dangerous. I would never use an account to browse a porn site because why would I ever want that data linked back to me? Look at the government right now. You watch a gay or trans porn video and in a few years that could be grounds for never being able to have certain types of jobs or worse, being deemed a “miscreant”

If this was truly about protecting children they would encourage open dialogue on sex in homes and increase inclusive sex education. This is evidence based. It would still be necessary even with this nonsense because obviously vpns exist, as well as amateur run sites, sites run from outside of the USA, torrents, etc that don’t give a shit about us laws requiring age verification and will show all kinds of obscenely hardcore videos
