Can’t even sign into AT&T to view/report the outage. You can (conveniently enough) sign in to pay your bill if you want. AFAIK, the 70k number is the number of reports at Downdetector. It’s probably 100s of thousands affected, if not millions.

In a year or ten hence, the people that voted against this will turn their taps and get nothing but brown sludge, then howl “why isn’t the government doing something about this?!?!?”

I wouldn’t buy another piece of Motorola/Lenovo garbage for any amount of money.

It’s a Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine"

What makes the RDRE so revolutionary is that it makes use of a sustained detonation circling around a ring-shaped channel, fed by a mix of fuel and oxygen which is ignited by each passing explosion.
Crucially, the RDRE uses less propellant fuel than conventional rocket engines, and is simpler in terms of its machinery and mechanisms. That means going into space becomes cheaper, and traveling further distances becomes possible.

I hope it enjoys its existential despair.

Harper, strike, and soldier, go.
Free the flame and sear the grasses
Till the dawning Red Star passes.”

Nobody ever considers the feelings of the poor corporations! It’s all the fault of those mealy-mouthed… sneers … humans! With their “I’m tired” and “I need to eat food” and “I need to go to the bathroom.” How is that productive or efficient? How does that contribute to shareholder value?

Withings Scanwatch is cross-platform. No need for a branded device to use it, does all the usual tracking stuff plus afib detection. One of the reasons I chose it was that it looks like a watch and not a toy. Also, depending on how you use it, it can go for days between charges. Most of the similar “brand locked” devices seem to only go 1 or 2 days max.

The original idea for Youtube was “make your own tv shows” so it wasn’t really intended for highbrow entertainment, infotainment, etc. Then they started promoting videos that were longer format, so the “watch my sister go splat trying to jump in the pool” videos got replaced by how-tos, unboxing, and explainers. Then tiktok came along and Youtube is trying to turn itself into “watch my sister go splat in 60 seconds or less.”

It’s sad that with the concentration of developers and creatives at their disposal – not to mention the financial resources – they can’t innovate something beyond tiktok. Instead of tagging along after a trend and wind up looking like an old geezer dressing up like a 16 year old.

“That’s right, buddy! Show that turd who’s boss!”
