ChatGPT didn't tell them bluetooth speakers were invented 25 years ago?

Merit should always consider strictly value.

While simultaneously claiming that their protected status wasn't taken into account.

Hopefully, the actual complaint makes more sense. But I have doubts.

I'm looking forward to the legal decisions that you have to watch ads to read every page.

Because you know that's part of the plan.

I don't actually use Apple Store all that often. A fair portion of the software I have installed, like LibreOffice and Firefox is just installed via DMG images. It kicks up a window about unrecognized source, but then just works. iOS devices are definitely more locked down, but the Macs are really no different as far as installing software than Windows or Linux.

I imagine the Mac Neo is the real source of their panic. Right now RAM prices are probably saving them from even more losses, but the hegemony is coming to an end. If a credible useful, at least for average users, non-Windows platform using smart device level hardware can sell as well as the Neo has, I'd say Microsoft's reckoning is finally upon them.

At what point in this long and seemingly endless list of fixes to even the most basic usability features in Windows do its users finally admit it is really a shitty and badly maintained operating system. I use Gnome or MacOS, which are streamlined and uncluttered, and then I head over to Windows and it's like looking into the mind of someone with severe ADHD. It's a colossal mess where nothing particular makes sense, there's no coherent approach, everything is slow and inundated with advertising, context menus that worked for decades don't function right or at all, even the simplest tasks just seems to land you in the wrong place.

I suppose under the hood it's still a fairly decent operating system, although tools like Powershell, which can be achingly slow itself, demonstrate that there's a lot of layers of cruft.

I don't play video games, and frankly Office isn't that much better for my needs than LibreOffice, and Outlook is a bloated pile of crap, so I rarely even access the Windows desktop I have at work via RDP, save for two applications I rarely use. Windows is rapidly becoming irrelevant in my world.

"AI may become radically more powerful over the next 10 years,"

Or the bubble could burst, with companies already realizing that AI costs more than the employees it replaced.

"This could drive an unprecedented transformation of our economy, larger than the Industrial Revolution, but unfolding over a vastly shorter time frame."

"It could bring risks, including large-scale job displacement, as well as opportunities such as major gains in living standards."

"We must be intentional and make collective, democratic choices, rather than letting market forces play out"

Which is to say, communists advocate for communism, whatever buzzword they call it this week, because the only way they can have expensive toys is to be on the dole.

Every windows licensee will be given a share in the Brooklyn bridge.

I would say that any kind of substantial level of investment in a jurisdiction is a reasonable indicator of an expectation of a return on investment, and thus confidence in the economic growth of at least some industries in that jurisdiction. I'm not sure why people are trying to hand wave away that kind of an indicator, unless the fact of it creates some problem for some narrative they have bought into, creating a level of cognitive dissonance necessitating peculiar denials.

There's a cost to increasing salaries. The cost of the product or service will be higher, meaning fewer consumers will have access to it. Also, it may not be profitable at all to produce that. Think about it. If there were car windshield installation costs $1 million. It would make cars unaffordable and only the ultra rich would have it.

The ideal scenario is that salaries are "low" (cost of production), but that low salary will provide enormous buying power (goods are widely available and dirt cheap). We need to model the economy and stimulate how to do that.

Think of it this way if millions of construction workers existed -- all willing to work for $1 an hour .. everyone could live in a mansion because the cost of building a home would be so low. Even the construction worker would be able to afford themselves a mansion as well.

Any job for which a worker is able to demand more than minimum wage is in shortage.

Yeah that is one of my favorite episodes actually. I thought I was the only one who really appreciated it.

What are his thoughts on GOTOs - and Velociraptors?

Whoever wins, we lose.

This is like the Gambino and Genovese crime families going at each other.
