Who knew Sweden has gangs? Or that only 14k people are involved in them?

Violence can’t be condoned as a solution to disputes. But who can’t understand the motivation to strike out at Israeli interests in the current environment?

Ubisoft has problems. Ghoulish activist investor looking to destroy the company for a quick buck is not helping.

Not defending pedophiles, but there was a time when 13 was considered adult. It’s still legal for teenagers to marry in most countries.

Anything can be taken out of context.

It really kind of does. If the author is so ashamed of the work that they won’t sign it, that speaks volumes.

An anonymous hit job that reads like it was written by Ehmke. We should give this any credence because…?

Wasn’t the Times caught letting a Mossad agent “report” on the war?

Who has time to visit a park? There are no more neighborhood stores of any kind. No one can afford a coffee shop. And who wants to talk to random strangers at the bus stop? That’s just creepy.

Setting aside $1bn for future fines = Having no intention of stopping

They’ve already decided that EU fines are just a cost of doing business

Great gods! I expect this crap here in the US, but I thought you guys had more sense.

Seriously, I’m so sorry to hear that you have to deal with the crazies too.

 

I find that I need a security camera for my back yard. Do you folks recommend any particular makes & models? It should avoid the cloud but record locally. I'm somewhat handy with Linux and a RaspberryPi, if that helps.

Thanks!

 

One takeaway from this TED Talk is that Title IX, rather than balancing the playing field for women, tilted it against men. Are there any clear solutions?

Has anyone else received an email from Dell about a data breach? I’ve gotten three messages just today. What’s going on?

What is it with Nike and sexualized athletic uniforms these days (see MBA see-through pants)? Did PornHub invest without anyone noticing?

 

Have they given up already? I haven’t seen the popup in a couple of days (touch wood). For a few weeks, it showed up every time I used a logged in account and made the service unusable.

Maybe I’ve just stopped trying to watch monetized videos.

 

If this isn't the right place for user questions, please just let me know.

My laptop's keyboard has begun having issues in the last few months. I think one of the keys has a broken spring and it's interfering with a half dozen others. Replacing the keyboard on this particular model involves stripping it to the chassis, which I prefer not to do.

Since the computer lives in my backpack and goes to class while teaching (I prefer my own device rather than the uni-issued 10-year-old laptop), I'm thinking of picking up a small portable keyboard to use when the builtin acts up. Do any of you guys have suggestions for a good model?
