Modern "innovation" is scams all the way down. From B. S. crypto to taxis disguised as "ride sharing" with no employees, only gig contract workers. Some countries are calling the scams out, while the grift thrives in most places.

Also, add to the terms of service policy that after N minutes grace period, there will be a per minute fee while occupying the vehicle.

Calling 911 for a non-emergency because the robotaxi can't figure out how to run its own business is just a way for a wealthy corporation to burn taxpayer money. I shouldn't have to pay more taxes (or get less services) because Waymo is incompetent.

I don't really care what happens to billionaires.

The difference was almost entirely to FORCIBLY OBSOLETE a ton of perfectly serviceable machines merely because they came with TPM 1.2 or less from the manufacturer, or they had a CPU "not quite new enough," because OEMs were screaming "we need to force people to trash computers and spend money buying new hardware from us."

OEMs started salivating at Apple's "3 year old hardware? Fuck you, throw it in the trash and buy something new" sales model and demanded MS start doing the same thing.

If someone like MachineShedFred is getting a forced reboot in the middle of the day, it's because he's the Dumb Fucking Retard who's been pushing "delay" on the machine over and over and "sleeping" the machine during the mandatory reboot times rather than save his work and pick a sensible moment, and now he's run past the mandatory delay allowance. He's known this reboot was coming, he just chose to IGNORE it and be a whiny little bitch about it.

Most IT departments have no idea how to set up automatic updating properly so that it still gets the job done, but doesn't piss off the users that you can't really piss off...

Most Dumb Fucking Retard Users like MachineShedFred imagine that they are above the requirements that IT have been ordered to apply to everyone, or that they've found some magical "workaround" to the system. I have no sympathy for his bullshittery.

Elon Musk is an anagram for Leon Skum. He's a white-supremacist inbred Nazi Shitrat who masturbates every night to his fantasy of restoring the Apartheid regime that made his Disgusting Nazi Cuntrat Dad and Shitty Nazi Whorebag Momma "rich" from gem mining run using slave labor.

MAGA are all disgusting inhuman inbred trash who would happily hold the match to light that cross. They're Sick White-Supremacist Evil Sociopathic Inbred Shit, no exceptions.

MAGAtrash are all inbred crossburning Klan Shits. Every one of them will do nothing but gaslight and lie to you, because they're Subhuman Fucking Disgusting Sociopaths and dangers to humanity.

The Commerce clause gives the federal government nearly limitless authority over the States despite what the rest of the Constitution says.

Not usually. You have to add so many plasticizers back in that it would be more economical to burn it in a modern waste-to-energy incinerator, if onlynthose weren't basically illegal in California

Commercial speech is not free speech ... Fight me

There won't be any money to hire you after the bubble pops. We'll potentially enter a recession that lasts for a few quarters or perhaps a few years.

AI fraudsters that tricked millions of middle class retirement account managers to invest in the wrong* AI companies are going to come out ahead of course.

* I say wrong companies, because I don't believe anyone can pick the winners right now.

Simple LED display, radio, and the alarm was just a square wave BEEP BEEP BEEP at 90 dB like the house was on fire. I got it for $5 at a yard sale in the 1990's and that was my go-to for waking up my teenage self.

If they didn't know where to click first, then whoever was responsible for the UI did a bad job. Once the program's open, it should be clearly labeled where you click to get started, and how to go from one step to the next as you go. There are thousands of websites out there that do this so that a novice user can get everything entered in the right order without any guesswork, so whoever botched that job had no excuse for their failure.

Hint: Microsoft has a tendancy to put out GARBAGE..
