then every paper ever written will look like it was written by AI.

I just learned today that they changed their name in order to appear more global or some such, even though I work in that business. Maybe they're not quite as influential as they would like to be?

At those gas stations in my area that do play ads on the pump while you're gassing up, there's always one of those buttons on either side of the screen that will mute the audio; typically the 2nd one down on the right side. Of course once too many people learn about this they'll just offer to remove the ads, for an extra $0.10 per gallon.

And some people actually say that bribing our elected leaders doesn't have a net benefit.

"...also made it the camera of choice for numerous Hollywood productions..."

I'd say not so much. I work in the post production side of the business and from my anecdotal experience we don't see much material shot on RED anymore compared to Sony or Arri.

Won't someone think of the poor marketers?

And yet if I were to bash Intuit CEO Sasan K. Goodarzi's head in with a hammer, I would be the one to go to prison. Where is the justice? I ask you.

We do, quite a bit. I print out documentation for my programming work because sometimes I want it sitting on the desk next to me so I can scribble on it, maybe highlight some lines, write little checkmarks, etc., rather than having yet another pdf window open. My wife sells stuff online so she prints shipping labels and patterns. When I find a recipe for dinner I print it out and clip it to the side of the fridge so it's next to me while I'm cooking (I don't want a tablet or laptop in the kitchen that I then have to scroll up & down with greasy fingers). If it's a recipe I think I'll do again, I save that printout in a plastic sleeve in a big binder. I know I could just save the bookmark, but web sites tend to disappear or go behind a paywall surprisingly often, and again, I can scribble notes on the printed recipe that I can't on a web site) Contracts, legal documents, etc., I save them as PDFs on my file server but I also keep printed copies in a file cabinet as backup. And yes, we own a Brother printer because they have been the most reliable and trustworthy for their price.

The solar farm only takes up about 0.003% of the land in Texas. I think they can manage that.

It's not getting a payday for you or me (my car was scanned 34 times since I first owned it), it's about punishing companies like this that are clearly doing wrong. That's the only way they learn. Well, maybe also if we imprison the CEO, but that will never realistically happen.

He's been there for many decades. His opinion seems to be that their HR is basically just trying to cut everything to the bone. I.e. "employees are liabilities, not assets."

Plagiarized, sorry.

To this day I still have the paperback manual for Turbo Pascal 3.0 from 1986, The floppy disks, alas, were lost long ago in one earthquake or another.

A PDP-8 was the first computer with which I had actual hands on experience, rather than just remote access through a teletype terminal. Its entire instruction set was only eight or so instructions, and we would write our code on paper before laboriously entering it into the machine through front panel toggle switches. Plus, we had to remember that the light bulbs above the 2nd and 5th toggle switches were long burned out, so we couldn't count on knowing what the state of those bits was.
I don't recall ever having worked with another machine that used octal as it's number format
