Why pay attention to anything Bill Gates says?
He just parrots other smarter people and plays off his name recognition.
Just like with Microsoft, just absorbed others work, sometimes hired the right people to make it better or prettier and sometimes broke it (but it had the right label so the boss bought it anyway), and sold it off as their own.
Bill's a twit. He didn't even understand his own marketing strategies until his partners explained it to him and couldn't code his way out of a paper bag.
The only reason he does "good works" is that his father explained the need for social engagement as a PR strategy back in the olden days of his first successes.
Fandom is our greatest problem.

Sure we had slide rules, I've still got three, but Us Real Geeks had an IBM 360 reference (green) card tucked behind our pocket protectors along with the assembly ref. Just for the cool factor you understand because we had them committed to our magical meat memories and analysed our core dumps easier than mortals could read a bus schedule.

You are now ever so much more than a mere consumer you are now officially a commodity.

Flame bait? You lot have no sense of humour at all.

That's why, when capital gets overly concentrated and constrained the cooperative infrastructure on which it rests begins to collapse and we have increasingly chaotic socio-economic upheavals. The stability of the world financial markets is tenuous at best if not outright illusory.

Thems what pays more gets more and better. It has always been thus and so shall it always be.
Complaining about it is for pinko pussies and the like. Get a real job pleb! Oh and fetch me a pillow for my feet while you're at it.

The oldest I have used is a wedge, while producing fire wood.

I wish I could mod you up, it they were spurious they wouldn't be actual drones and by definition unable to fly around doing drone stuff.
