House: “Bzzzzt, sorry, we cannot grant you access to your home since you have posted an offensive comment made to the bank that provided you the mortgage loan. We also have turned away a delivery package that reads: Bzzzzt…”

House: “Asthma Inhaler.”

House: Beeps.

House: “Please confirm $1,000,000 penalty payment to the mortgage company to regain access to your house. Have a good day.”

You: “But my wallet and everything is in this house…”

House: “911 have been dialed, you are trespassing this property. Please vacant the premise.”

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.
