Display the thing in an amazing setting - demo it, and sell it to me.
I'll pick it up in a box from cash wrap, or you can deliver it.
Fry's has kept part of this element of Incredible Universe alive, to some extent. Buying a motherboard isn't quite the joy it once was, though.
I never would have bought Fabulous Fred if it weren't for a working demo unit at Best/Service Merchandise/Sterling.

Bring in a trainer to run though a pre-certification training. ITIL, perhaps. Cream will rise.

If you committed to a Major, achieved some post-graduate specialist status, you are someone with major debt and a one-track mind. Perfect "Company Man" material.

It IS YouTube's job.... the second the added the 'Kids' label. That gives them a level of responsibility much greater than just a 13 & older general video service.

Google's new changes for YouTube are barely lip-service to the problem. It's a PR move, on what is a disturbing & scary problem.

While I won't let my sons (2, 4 & 6) anywhere near YouTube... I have many parent friends who let their children browse YouTube Kids basically unattended. While this is clearly not a good idea, the fact remains that overworked, exhausted parents are going to do this. That videos of Peppa Pig eating her father & drinking bleach, and other horrid 'cartoons' are slipping past automated filters, the service needs to remove the 'kids' label and only re-open when human reviewed videos replace them. A-la Netflix Kids, etc.

That Google won't even prevent the 'related videos' bar from sending kids down the rabbit hole, is also infuriating.

I have friends who, upon reading this news, scanned their child's history only to find videos of cartoon favourites sexually assaulting eachother. Wth Google - shut it down!

And to say parents should be previewing each & every video - I agree... but they don't. Parents in today's dual-income, cash-strapped economy are at an exhausted extreme.

No more vintage Sesame Street?

You lone wolf, cowboy types are losing the war with your NIMBY ways. There is no spoon.

Had a horrible flashback to HD SC Setup and non-Apple branded disks.

Don't discount the "hidden" OS compatibility layers. Carbon, Blue and Yellow boxes mean a great deal (and Carbon lurks today). This was all an in-house effort, AFAIK. Behind the veneer, the old Openstep code has morphed and evolved again. Swift and all the new Core classes and portable Kits where always the roadmap for the future. There's no going back.

Ubuntu is a Canonical product, but AFAIK, the meaningful measure of revenue comes from Ubuntu Advantage. Mobile failed, and any dreams of bundled storage and app services, plus any vendor licensing deals that could have come from it. I'm seeing this as an adaptation of that model; where WSL is just another distribution channel for Ubuntu could serve as a funnel for UA. "Land and Expand" meets "Embrace and Extinguish".

System76 is hindered by Ubuntu because Ubuntu is hindered by Canonical. Surely there's a better source for a fork. I get that they have lots of Ubuntu experience and a history there, but Launchpad should be EOL.

My Wacom has a mouse. It still feels like a Wacom, though - it's just a mouse-shaped Pen. The majority of sensing is under the tablet surface. This would be a regular mouse, with the sensors in your hand.
