I was expecting a site with this title to be a troll when you open it it’s just a blank page.

It really should have been that.

Their characterization of their customer base mostly rings true to me. My white teenage kids love the stuff.

Don't know about GenX though. A common definition of GenX is born between 1965 and 1980. Speaking for all GenX males of the world, the stuff tastes overly sweet to me and don't want to risk a higher A1C on carbonated sugar water. Bleh!

They have sugar free versions now.

Using only Apple’s official diagnostic tools (Console.app) on a clean, non-jailbroken iPhone 14 Pro Max, the following issues were observed:

System daemons silently initiate Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) scans without app activity or user interaction.

GPS location harvesting occurs with no prompts, indicators, or active apps.

Internal frameworks bypass Apple’s Transparency, Consent, and Control (TCC) protections using undocumented flags.

Bluetooth trust metadata (e.g., IRKs, pairing history) is exposed even when devices are disconnected.

Cryptographic failures are silently ignored during trust operations.

These behaviors suggest an integrated telemetry pipeline that operates beneath iOS’s user-facing privacy model. The full report includes logs, technical breakdowns, and reproduction steps.

Isn't it support for the Find My network?

$10 for an accessible Windows CE PDA is a pretty good deal. If I were OP, I'd fire up an appropriately old version of Visual Studio and vibecode some patches to the open source app he found.

If that is the cost of keeping the value within the western economies, we should pay. Plain and simple. I'd even argue it's cheap.

No, I am absolutely not going to pay a 20% premium on the market. I’m sorry but I won’t. If this is really crucial to national security then the government can subsidize the premium. And I know I’m not alone, price speaks louder.

This is painful. Anecdotal point: I have an 2024 EX40 and it’s been perfect.

For now.

I really want to like volvo, especially their plugin hybrids, but their bad reliability of late is a dealbreaker. No way I'm wasting my life in mechanic hell.

I'm patiently looking to upgrade from my great 2018 subaru forester xt touring, but nothing new seems much better.

That's a Chinese car maker for you.

Looks like he only bought cheaper things, so no wonder they all eventually died. My USB-C hub is an HP Thunderbolt dock. It's beefy as heck, lasted for years with no issues. It has a tiny fan inside, which I assume helps with the longevity. I hear good things about CalDigit docks too. Those also are very expensive.

When the start menu is a react native app that spikes up the cpu needing billions of flops just to do that, I doubt this number will make a difference.

Wasn't that debunked already?
