WordPerfect 'GUI Edition'? HERETIC! You can pry my command line out of my cold, dead fingers!
PS I haven't used WordPerfect this century...

No worries! Andy Griffith has the problem covered!

Is this the same lab where they developed Lechonk?

It's Amazon Prime day, so I ordered my Ring, Fire Tablet, Echo and Kindle in a special Bezos/Gates/Pichai subscription bundle. For some reason, they are practically GIVING them away!

Do you want a fusion powered Skynet? 'cause this is how you get fusion powered Skynet!

To paraphrase Susan Ertz:
"Millions long for a 34 hour work week who don't know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon."

Quotes aren't enough nowadays to signal sarcasm. Nyet, you need to have a huge banner in all caps stating
THE FOLLOWING QUOTE IS SARCASM
You won't find nuanced subtly on slashdot.

I didn't go from Win 7 to Win 10 because of some compelling feature. I went because they threatened end of service life for Win 7. I didn't upgrade my cell from iPhone 7 plus to iPhone 12 Pro because of features. It was because my iPhone 7 was degrading to the point it was unreliable.
We've reached a point where the current Microsoft OS is 'good enough' and people aren't interested in upgrading.
We've reached a point where gaming machines are 'good enough' and people don't feel compelled to get a new rig every couple years.
We've reached a point where your current cell phone is 'good enough' and we're not interested in the latest new shiny from Samsung or Apple.
At some point, all these tech tools we use are sufficient to get what we need done. Most of us just aren't interested in playing the 'constant upgrade' game anymore.

When you install a Peloton treadmill, you can now proudly announce to the WHOLE WORLD, "Hey! I spent $1800, used it two times, now I use it to dry clothes!"

Thank you! I knew it was from some movie/show I had seen, but couldn't recall which one. And it nicely comes alongside the humor in the original posts.

It would seem to me that if this was an effective tactic, wild animals would ALL have eye patterns on their butts. Since they don't, I'm betting Nature tried it and it didn't help.

I'm taking an entirely different approach than everyone else. As soon as I hear of someone locally getting Coronavirus, I'm rushing down to the hospital and breathing near their face. Start touching my eyes, my nose, etc until I'm well infected.

See, then I'll be one of the FIRST cases they treat, and I will have a fully staffed medical department to draw on. As the epidemic grows, resources will be stretched thin and my chances of getting treated drop dramatically. :-P

Sorry I haven't been keeping up on the battery tech. How long does a typical 'battery' last - say, still able to deliver 90% of its initial rating? And when it is past its prime and needs to be replaced - how much of it can be recycled (or discarded safely), and how much ends up as nasty hazmat that needs to be dealt with?

Drat, and here's me with no mod points. A virtual +1 to you, gentleperson!

“Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that’s how it always starts. Then later there’s running and screaming.”
