My calculator doesn’t need to know how old anyone is. Nor does my refrigerator. I suppose a case could be made for a router if you are all onboard for age gating everything privacy and freedom be damned. An OS isn’t just Mac or Windows… the CA law is just so so dumb as written that I have zero faith in anything from Silicon valley.

My mistake.

This is about the guy who was killed this year 2026 at Mar-a-Lago though not about the security incident further in the past.

Captcha that insist motor scooters are motorcycles.

I wasn’t disagreeing just pointing out that a 2TB NVME went from like $180 to $450 :( (as of yesterday at Microcenter at least was $400 last week)

yeah but it is nearly double that now

That is just like your opinion man - the dude

Is it the conversational style? or that search engines have been designed to be actively worse to keep your eyeballs spending more time looking at advertisements now?

Do you have other sources of retirement savings than the pension? What are your desired levels of spending relative to all sources? If you dream of walking around the local park and have a cup of tea looks a bit different from a dream of heading off traveling for 6 months out of the year. Is it possible to scale back to working part time? Change positions to something you want to do more? Retirement planning is a very individual thing as every circumstance is unique.

I mean I’ve had to replace a battery every 2 years otherwise this data point has kept working.

Who would though? The marketing idea pushed to the public is that no oil changes means they need no maintenance. They are mechanical devices not magical devices. They require maintenance to stay in good working order like anything. Suspension, brakes (although less often with regeneration systems), tires, wipers, air filters, coolant, batteries 12v not just the rechargeable, transmission fluid (gear box oil on Teslas iirc), etc. This no maintenance myth has turned them into throw away disposable e waste. Not to mention the lack of service for repairing the batteries and computers in the USA leading to insurance totaling the vehicles and them ending up rebuilt in Ukraine.

Altendorf has albeit only in large production shop sized saws last I checked.

I’m not saying active injury mitigation isn’t a wonderful thing that should be available to all. Just wanted to point out that one argument against this regulation is that the increased cost of table saw manufacture with it may lead to a resurgence in DIY table saws made from circular saws flipped upside down from those who can not afford the safer products. These DIY things were once much more common before prices fell and are even more dramatically less safe. Unintended consequences etc. May never come to be but felt it should be mentioned.
