MS tech support is so bad these days. Take one or two of those $Bs and invest them in some decent support.

Some folks would rather work harder at not having to work than to just get a regular job. For some it seems to be the thrill of doing nefarious things. For others I guess they make their own hours and just get by.

e-bikes have greater acceleration and top speed than traditional bicycles. It is a recipe for increased rider injuries and deaths. Letting them in pedestrian spaces increases their collateral damage.

Because they are willing to prioritize other things, like privacy, over profit. "For profit" does not have to be all or nothing. Unfortunately, some investors, shareholders, and leaders, are driven solely by profit.

Long time Roku fan but the last few years has changed that. The ads, the hardware, the support ... all downhill. It is such a shame because IMO they still have the least shitty interface.

Reminds me when leaded gas was tied to crime rates.

OK I won't disagree. What do you call it when something can be reliably predicted based on observation and testing?

We all know eventually these updates will include a 'Terms of Service' update and nothing to do do with safety or performance. I suspect this will eventually go to court.

If you have no connectivity to the mother ship then how can they prompt you to install the update? Some folks will disconnect the radios to disable this 'feature'.

You don't have to. 'Science' is built upon proving and disproving theories. The community shares the proofs so others can repeat the proof or disprove it. This is how 'science' is constantly improving, refining, expanding, etc. Religions, not so much.

Not if they know what they are getting into. I give them 50/50 odds.

Training vs education.

Transfer the risk. Business 101.

Stanford is a private university (aka a business). If you don't think you are getting your $250K's worth then ask for a refund. Good luck.

Priceless and worthless at the same time. When is it one or the other?...well it depends. ;-)
