I had a GRiD 1530 laptop in 1991 that did exactly that.
It was as amazing as it was awful.

Shit, why pay them at all 'if I don't have to'?
That's the end point utopia they are working towards.
Seems they all have in common some weird 'if I was the last man on earth' syndrome.

We're only about 20% there, but they're accelerating with all the effort and focus they can muster.

Steve Jobs famously stated that the computer is like 'a bicycle for the mind'.
But now, we're the bicycle, for their mind.
Funny, that.

Drop a million or so off at the White House, and poof!
No more regulators. No more rulings. No more fines.
Just pure, friction-free Capitalism.

The kitchen cabinets in the house that ASF grew up in were made of white oak.
It's a nostalgia thing.

Just go use it!

good grief

Cave Johnson would never have let this happen.
He knows a thing or two, because he's seen a thing or two.

That's more of a failure of the phone's UI.

The only use case for a hinge phone is showing it to someone else for the first time.
To which they'll reply, "huh, I guess".

The ones complaining expected to get that $250,000 back in the first three months.

I don't know why anyone would need to spend a quarter mil
just to learn the best ways to take stuff and get away with it.

Those poor souls. Can you imagine having to do that every day?

And also, VB and FORTRAN are not "similarly" anything.

Hacked thing gives dangerous responses.

The employees take the performance review hit because of management's games,
so there will be false statements in upcoming SEC filings per the workforce.

It makes the managers look bad for having many underperformers, like it's their fault, too.
Meta workers need to form a good union.

This isn't about protecting the movie industry. He despises the movie industry.
He realized there's a river of money with the streaming services.
That's where the money is, and where it's easiest to extract from the citizenry.

They'll have foreign content flags put in the metadata, and every time that content is streamed,
a cut of the action will get deposited into Trump's slush fund.

A profitable and an easily adjustable twist of the arm for extortion and control.
If implemented, expect all media, music, tv shows, social media, to get put under this mechanism.

and anything Microsoft ends in tears.

They'll need lots of backhoe drivers.
At least for a little while.
