You had the opportunity and blew it. Here is what you should have used:

Microsoft pays its employees so well.

Just like all those other programmers people say deserve their rich salaries.

An interesting aside to that though. Even your description was better than shortly before that when computer was a job title and the whole company depended on rooms full of people clacking away on mechanical adding machines. All of that got replaced at a tiny fraction of the cost.

Yet businesses that ran profitably for decades like that have now cut customer service to the bone, never reduced prices, and employee pay hasn't kept up with inflation for decades but still they cry poor.

Depending on uncertain imported oil and gas is already not profitable and has a higher probability of becoming fantastically expensive every time some kooky world leader sneezes.

You can't go after the manufacturers because 1) they're outside of your jurisdiction,

If they sell a product in your state, they're under the state's jurisdiction. It's why states can ban products or require safety features from manufacturers who sell in those states.

2) their products are likely legal in half of the world (e.g. Asia/Africa).

So? You think car manufacturers don't have different models for different parts of the world?

CO2 has the properties it has, and trying to shift or deny that is a sign of either a liar or an idiot.

I'll let others decide what you are.

Might I remind you that the Democrats held onto the Epstein files and refused to release any of them during a Presidential election

The Supreme Court ordered the records sealed until after the election. That was thanks to Trump's Supreme Court picks.

Might I also remind you the infamous wife of Bill Clinton the island hopper, ran her own email server that 'accidentally' fell into a vat of Bleachbit.

Which was investigated and found not to be illegal, just poor judgement. Just like Colin Powell had done. But let us not mention all the use of personal email to conduct official government business being done by the regime right now. Or the use of Signal which conveniently doesn't store information.

No one is believing Demoncrap lies anymore.

In your ranting you misspelled a word. The word you were looking for was Repedo. The ones who seemingly every day are in the news for diddling kids.

Oh look, another denialist trying to sidetrack a pretty verifiable statement of fact.

So yeah your AI can outperform a doctor that gets 5 minutes with the patient before having to move on to the next one in order to keep their private equity Masters satisfied.

So, suppose, we stick it to the "private equity Masters", compel them to double the number of doctors — forget for a second, who is going to pay for them — and afford them a whopping 10 minutes with the patient.

ChatGPT will still beat humans... And it will be getting better with every month, whereas the humans will not...

A new study from Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess found that an OpenAI reasoning model outperformed experienced ER doctors at diagnosing and managing patient cases

AI is sufficiently anthropomorphic to be capable of making mistakes. Demanding perfection from it is stupid. It does not need to be error-free. It just needs to be better than humans...

I prefer AppImage. Flatpak feels like it went way past the point of diminishing returns for efficiency and functionality vs. complexity.

Perhaps you need to run the 'testing' release, currently forky. That gets you much more current software versions.

We all saw the video. We all know what it meant. We all know Musk's background and upbringing. You can quit gaslighting us. We all saw it.

Something other than a single continuous infrasound might. That wasn't tested, just one particular not well described sound.

They showed that the particular infrasound they used did nothing with a handful of people.
