How is it in the year 2025, that red traffic lights are incapable of flashing when the power is out?
It's a circuit, when the power is on, the light works as controlled. But when the power is out, each red light will blink for at least 48 hours off a battery.

I’m at the Liga champion parade and instead of a double-decker bus, they drilled down metal barricades around the roof of a regular bus (when I arrived they were still drilling!!!)
And they are letting the guys get up there by construction ladder 😭

FIFA wasn't entirely to blame for the drastic spike in World Cup ticket prices that left fans angered and forced a rethink from soccer's governing body.
But it made one crucial mistake that led to a publicity disaster.

Smugmug needs to figure out a better failure path for uploading DNG files for accounts that don't pay extra for raw support.
Like it's a simple 'convert to jpeg' button instead of failing outright.

Don’t play ESPN’S crappy uncredited knock-off. Play the original Athletic Director Simulator!
Great to see so much interest in our original game, Athletic Director Simulator 4000.
To celebrate, I'm turning the paywall OFF for the rest of the year.
Now everybody can play ADS4000! Enjoy!

Folks! We did it! The Onion has 60,000 subscribers!
We're that much closer to reaching our goal of beating The Washington Post's print circulation by the end of next year. (They were last reported at 97k, but it's probably lower now.)
Thank you all. Democracy died in darkness but we're still here.

"You don’t start a wood bank in a country with functioning institutions. You start one when heating assistance programs can’t keep up, when the grid flickers every time the wind shifts, when propane and heating oil costs swing so hard that families can’t budget more than a week out."
Firewood Banks Aren’t Inspiring. They’re a Sign of Collapse.
Rural communities are banding together to chop firewood so that people in need can heat their homes. This shouldn’t be necessary.

I want 1 feature, autonomous follow, where I can drive a lead car & have a vehicle follow me. Would be awesome for so many setups.

There is no such thing as ‘device hoarding’ - the technical improvements year over year in smartphones is minimal at best. There isn’t a ‘killer feature’ to drive adoption, so what is the upgrade?

Someone should be tracking the ad reuse this holiday season. I fear that the economic indicator of 'not spending on new ads' is being ignored.
