Do you have a time machine? They are $2.49 each now, or $1.89 if you’re lucky. And smaller than before so you need two of them to equal an old one.

Me and my brother went the other day, got two number ones (which is three hard tacos) one regular, one supreme. 18$. And they were basically devoid of fillings. The taco was 80% empty, just a thin layer of stuff at the very bottom. I will never go there again. It was a full on assault of low quality and overpricing for low quality. I have never been so insulted by fast food in my entire life.

I went to the reddit taco bell page and found this: https://old.reddit.com/r/tacobell/comments/1aexdaq/what_3_and_change_gets_you_in_this_economy/

This is actually generous compared to the tacos I got.

Also all three shells were broken like the one in this picture.

Right? Instead of bricking the printer they can make their software secure. But we all know the reality is they want to punish anyone who dares to buy third party ink which is why they ignore vulnerabilities, and probably created them in the first place. Just a sad state of affairs. Part of me wants to believe consumers and even corporations will rebel against this obvious BS, but they’ll probably make bank.

What harm are they saying these “hackable” cartridges can even do? Brick the printers? So they are preemptively bricking the printers because… the hackers might… brick the printers? Makes sense! I expect better from corpo technobabble. This is just idiotic.

It’s sort of the same difference as going to Harvard or Yale vs. a state school. But times one hundred. The actual education will be on a similar level, but one has a prestige that will take you much further.

If they are selling their printers at a small loss because they want to make money on selling ink that’s basically fine. Sell the ink, make money. If they want to overcharge for the ink people will look elsewhere. If they have to DRM the printers to force people to buy their ink then that’s just fucked up.

And consumers not being able to choose which ink they purchase makes HP printers a bad investment. It goes both ways. It was nice of them to admit what lengths they’ll go to to force us to use their proprietary ink cartridges though.

The culture warriors over at Fox are angry at Disney so Star Wars Bad is the current messaging. Star Trek is just a blank canvas to them that is not Disney. Now, if Star Trek has a gay kiss or puts a black mermaid in charge of a fucking spaceship they’ll change their tunes pretty quick.

The U.S. company said in October it planned “modest” price increases this year as demand held up despite rises, leading it to hike its 2023 profit forecast for a third straight time.

They will simply keep raising prices until demand plateaus. It has nothing to do with production costs or shipping costs- they will gauge us for every single penny simply because they can. And if sales drop they will still make more money than before because a bag of chips that used to be $2.49 is now $5.99.

You say it sounds like bullshit, but are you disputing the article?

Over the last five years Starbucks has claimed nearly $900 million in unspent gift card and app money as corporate revenue, boosting corporate profits and inflating executive bonuses.”

Are you saying this never happened? If not, where is the bullshit?

Are they going to institute the same rules for every online streaming service? Because what if the parents don’t set up controls and their kids watch an R rated movie?

This is the parents responsibility and there are tools to keep kids from seeing harmful content.

What are you talking about? They are blocking access in those states. They are literally doing the opposite of what you are suggesting.

I think the Boomers are a lost cause when it comes to this, but you need to teach younger people critical thinking. You need to get your news from trusted sources. You should not be blindly forming opinions based on random facebook pages or reddit comment chains. Every single thing you read on the open internet should be treated with suspicion. Watermarking is just too easy to get around.
