...to build another Clippy. With vulnerabilities and unmaintainable code. In fact, forget Clippy.

  Yay humanity.

Protyping. Think diffarent.

That's an excuse for not paying attention. We've trained young people on touch screens. Obviously they prefer what they know. Like all young people ever they think the rules don't apply to them, so what is important to them, pixels on screens, takes precedence over actually DRIVING THE FUCKING CAR in traffic with OTHER PEOPLE, not NPCs.

I like that they can steal from "other" NPCs: Nobody's playing. Everybody's just watching videos.

Our videos good, their videos bad.

They talk and the AI writes. Don't you recognize the tell-tale signs yet?

Just don't expect me to pay for it.

He's not required to potentially incriminate himself by telling them the password. He told them a word. They entered it and destroyed the data.

Nobody cares about feeding in anymore. The numbers work without selling a single kWh. The panels and batteries are that cheap. When you plan your solar installation, you make sure that you can use most of the electricity you produce, and the ROI is the money you don't pay for electricity from the grid. Typical inverters support "zero feed-in" out of the box, where they adjust their output to not exceed your electricity consumption. The panel output feeds your house, the surplus charges the battery, and if on top of consumption and battery there's still some left, many people won't even feed that into the grid.

Nope. Solar panels and batteries are so ridiculously cheap now that people complain they can't install them in their rented flats and all the spoils go to the people who have their own roofs to put them on. We're talking about two to three years until you've made back the cost of your own solar and it's a decade or more of basically free electricity after that. With electric cars making inroads in Europe, there's also no reason to stop: Just keep adding panels and batteries to save more money. The economics are such that if you can, you do, and if you can't, you complain about those who do.

You're this guy.

Everybody has an excuse to raise prices so they do. That's the mechanism. Anyone claiming to give a better reason is full of shit.

Step 1: Wear pervglasses to a dinner party.
Step 2: Show off "highlight reel" of the party to your friends.
Step 3: Don't get invited by your ex-friends anymore.

The problem lies where you call the phones that people bought and paid for "Apple's platform". Apple didn't do "poorly with their case with Epic Games". They made the same mistake of thinking they can sell something and keep their control over it. Developers are allowed to use other "platforms" for payment and Apple is not owed a percentage of revenue generated through other platforms. The reason you think that Apple is somehow singled out is that nobody else even has such a monopolistic control over "their" devices as Apple in the first place (although everybody would love to and Google is trying hard to get there).
