My great aunt died at the hands of a debunker

@reggievdz @hurmos @robertgraham you can use it with your hand if you want

@fermain @hurmos @robertgraham Cool So there's a pedal called hand brake that you use with your foot huh Good name

The proper scientific name for the gas pedal in an electric car is "accelerator". However, the scientific name for the other pedal is also "accelerator". Scientifically, "accelerate" means to "change speed", and both pedals do that. Actually, "accelerate" means "change speed and direction" of the vector. The third accelerator in the car is erroneously named the "steering wheel".

@reggievdz @hurmos @robertgraham gas, foot brake, clutch, hand brake

@hurmos @robertgraham A fourth pedal? Never heard of that, what does it do

@vashekcz @BenjaminDEKR ah shit I'm bad at computers dang it

@BenjaminDEKR I'm sorry but if someone needs years to master regular expressions, computers might just not be their thing.

Imagine spending years mastering Regex right before LLMs arrive

@Acer I throw it away and buy a new one because your company discourages repairs

Be honest... how do you treat your laptop when the day is done? 🤔

@ForrestPKnight Schrodinger's slop bucket

“Bun’s Rust rewrite is complete ai slop!” How so? “Ai wrote all of it and they definitely didn’t read that code! They didn’t have time to.” So that means you didn’t read it either. So how do you know the code is slop? “…” …

@AnthropicAI why does this happen...?

@mybroadband @ICASA_org should not play partisan ballgames in my opinion

Bad news about Starlink in South Africa ICASA has dug in its heels over regulatory changes that would allow Starlink to launch in South Africa, and told communications minister Solly Malatsi that they would not execute his policy directive. mybroadband.co.za/news/telecoms/…

@Nedbank Haibo is that going to cost me another R10?

@fermain Hi there, our apologies for any inconvenience caused. Please send us a DM with your details and we will look into this for you.💚

@Nedbank how come I have to pay R10 for an SMS telling me I don't have any money in my account, but it's free for you to pester me like this?

@Acer @FrameworkPuter @acer this is not a rhetorical question

@Acer @FrameworkPuter Imagine if this is a car. The accelerator pedal breaks, and needs replacing. The official instructions tell the engineer to use an angle grinder to cut into the chassis in order to replace the part, and then weld the scar closed again afterwards. Sound right to you?

In order to replace the keyboard on an @Acer Aspire 315 51, you need to punch 30 holes with a soldering iron to release the broken unit, and use a glue gun to reseat the new unit. Is this the dumbest design choice made on a consumer device of all time? @FrameworkPuter

@AirPowerNEW1 So sick, this will be great for rainy environments right??

@Polymarket Use words like billion or million.

@Pankujasrotia11 @Polymarket It's not a smart pivot, silly robot.

@Polymarket Smart pivot. After 175 years, Corning moving into AI infrastructure shows where industrial demand is heading. AI isn’t just software hype anymore. It’s becoming a full supply chain opportunity from chips to fiber optics and data centers.

@RapidResponse47 > double the cost > under budget

I've had wanks that last longer than Operation Freedom

@Acer Saudi Arabia

@fermain Alright. May we know which country you are in? -Claire

@Acer There is a reason I'm making this post in public, there is nothing you can do in DMs to rectify your anti consumer practices

@fermain Hey Mohammad! For any concerns with your Acer product, kindly send us a DM. -Claire
