A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

In some of my worse moments, Amazon has genuinely recommended me a "these things bought together" purchase of a tank of helium, a plastic tube, and a tank regulator. Corporations will do literally anything for money.

They're not wrong that those things are bought together, unfortunately.
