Commented in U.S. seeks to polish tarnished reputation with new climate change pledges ahead of Earth Day
You can polish a turd all you want, it is still a turd. As long as the USA continues to subsidize the oil and gas industry, build oil and gas pipelines, and maintain the military's (largest polluters in the world) dependence on fossil fuels, they are not taking the problem as seriously as it needs to be taken. They can get back to us when they roll out a plan that will re-freeze the icecaps.

Commented in Apple takes the Mac to the cloud
You just thought you were being fleeced by this company,but it gets better,at least for Apple...For the users,not so much.
I'm not paying a monthly fee for something that belongs on my hard drive.
Will they lower their prices when they do this? Nope.
If their cloud goes down or is otherwise compromised, you are screwed.
I am not going to be under the thumb of Windows or Apple since it becomes their machine,their rules and your just a renter.
So they can kick off browsers they don't like ,ad blockers,etc. Not going there.
If Ubuntu does this,I'll be getting a different Linux OS.

Commented in Should You Ditch Streaming and Go Back to Cable?
Still, these on-demand streaming services aren’t as bad as cable. You pay $15 to $60 a month and you aren’t stuck with any contracts. You can cancel your subscriptions whenever you want (or rotate them to save money), and best of all, you don’t have to deal with the cable company.
So much this on rotating them out, if you are willing to wait a month or two and binge an entire show from Hulu or CBS/Paramount+ or HBO Max then it's worth it to still do on demand streaming services.
The problem comes when you subscribe to services like YouTube TV, Sling, or Hulu with Live TV, which are direct replacements for cable. Like other streaming services, these live TV platforms are steadily losing content and increasing in price, to the point that they often cost more than a cable plan.
It's obvious that they used the drug dealer model with these services at the start with networks giving these channels to the services dirt cheap with the idea to test the waters of this seemingly niche idea. Now, it's not so niche and the channel providers want their cake back now that it's on a different plate.
If you aren't a "reality" TV person or a sports person there is little reason to have any form of "live" TV at this point because within a year most stuff comes to streaming. You can watch CBS News on YouTube/or their app for free, if you don't want CBS you can choose from several options on Pluto TV free, you can watch your local news usually through their websites or smart apps, you can also potentially use locast, but that's shaky as they are being sued and could disappear, and they also only cover select locations.
Your average cable provider, on the other hand, offers a 120-channel plan (with Fox Sports) for around $60 to $70 a month. Bundling that cable plan with 100 Mbps internet service pushes your monthly bill somewhere between $75 and $90 a month, which is still a better deal than streaming TV because it includes your internet. (Note: Some service providers may not offer bundles at this price, especially if you’re in a rural area.)
I'm in a major city suburb and can't get prices that low, we need to pay close to $150 for that package and that's before the taxes, hidden fees and mandatory gateway rentals.
The only streaming TV service with a better price than cable is Sling TV, which starts at just $30 a month. Sling is a fantastic alternative to basic cable or a “starter” cable plan, but its limited channel selection won’t jive with people who prefer larger packages.
Sling is great, if you can live without Fox Regional Sports owned by Sinclair Broadcasting, for around $60 you can get every channel they offer in English, I think it's around 80 for English and a handful of Spanish channels, but... we had a major problem with Sling, after we left a few months later somebody, I think Sling itself, reactivated the account, we called and they said tough, no refunds, and said somebody must have done it. I went through disabled the account, made sure to clear the passwords and cookies from the browser, deleted all the apps and it was fine, for a while. Then about a year later they did it again and refused to even talk to us, telling us this is not a problem on their end but ours, so we called the bank and the lady in the charge back department said this is not the first problem they've had with Sling and that it's happened to others and that the only option was to block Dish from doing business with our accoun...

Commented in How Big Oil Misled The Public Into Believing Plastic Would Be Recycled
I don't think we will ever get rid of petrochemicals, a lot of our societies are depending on it too much, as in: besides plastics, the industry makes medicines from oil. And herbicides and pesticides. Not to mention fuels. Looking at the world's pollution, oil and petrochemicals are by far the biggest cause for pollution. We know that for many decades. But yeah, money. And where's money, there's politicians, who enable all the polluting, creating a veneer of quasi-legality, so the industry can say they're doing nothing wrong, although they are responsible for the biggest environmental crimes this earth has ever seen (or endured, so you will).

Commented in Plastic waste entering oceans expected to triple in 20 years
Am I the only one who thinks that the plastics-industry is just another petrochemical outlet (like gasoline and diesel are) and we are in the midst of a "compensational crisis", meaning: less and less cars with combustion engines are driven/sold and the amount of drilled oil is so high, with extreme low prices, followed by lowered profits, that overproducing plastics is a viable solution to said losses? With all the, damn well visible and destructive, consequences?

Commented in Who Is the Mystery Shopper Leaving Behind Thousands of Online Shopping Carts?
Sometimes websites won't give out prices unless you put it in a cart. Often you can't find out delivery fees without checking out a product. Not a big deal really.

Commented in YouTube TV sharply increases monthly subscription to $64.99
I don't think it was any real secret this was going to eventually happen, much like regular cable they hook you early with lots of channels for cheap then they add more or have to negotiate a new carriage agreement and prices increase, it's what happens on cable every six months when they start running banner ads, Dish Network HATES YOU AND ARE REFUSING TO CARRY FOX SPORTS NETWORKS, SWITCH TO DTV!!! and then Dish runs an ad banner that says FOX SPORTS HATES YOU AND ARE ASKING FOR TWICE THE PRICE TO BRING YOU SPORTS, TELL THEM NO YOU DON'T WANT TO PAY MORE!!! Then they settle for a modest price increase the two will then pass on to consumers while they laugh it up.
Cord Cutting options are the new cable tv. We already see this in not just YTTV but also in Netflix that constantly increased prices as the carriage agreements went up in price, and in Hulu and Amazon Prime, etc. Disney won't be content to sit at $7 a month, I imagine within a year they'll bump the price up to $10 and crow about how this is still a great deal and cost less than Netflix.

Commented in U.S. Treasury Expects to Borrow $4.5 Trillion in Fiscal Year as Stimulus Spending Soars
Edit: Weimar anyone? I mean: why still using a currency that has it's idea of worth based on 19TH CENTURY TECHNOLOGY (OIL) and the idea that a country with shitloads of debt and in a constant state of wars it starts itself ad infinitum is any trustworthy?

I hope the oil industry does not get a ail out. I definitely enjoyed this bit.

What males this especially weird is the Canadian oil companies are getting crushed by the current oil price war. They can't sell the stuff for a profit even if they could get it cheaply into the States.

Commented in ‘Most realistic’ plant-based steak revealed
For me,it's the fact that it's processed and I don't eat processed food,but especially hydrogenated plant matter,which is what this is. Add to that,that all the ingredients would hurt my gut really bad,especially the peas. Just read the cheap glop in the below:
I was stunned by how close it felt to meat in my mouth, with its rosy pink hue and fragile flesh-like texture. But it felt nothing like meat to my digestive system.
Half an hour after lunch, I started to have griping stomach pains and a horrible junk-food aftertaste. When I looked up the ingredients, it occurred to me that had they not been marketed as quasi-meat I would never have chosen to lunch on “pea protein isolate, expeller-pressed canola oil, refined coconut oil, water, yeast extract, maltodextrin, natural flavours, gum Arabic …”
I do eat meat. And cattle does not damage the environment half as much as factories do,they are just a scapegoat to take the flack so factories can keep up their pollution.
