Capitalism is about people benefiting from improving capital, which is basically private property rights.

Money != capital.

If cost is your argument, you picked a bad one. The full cost of trying, convicting, and sentencing someone to life in prison is cheaper than the full cost of capital punishment. Significantly cheaper, by a factor of about 2 to 5.

I'm pretty sure you'll argue that it costs so much money to execute someone because of all those pesky pre-trial procedures, elevated trial standards, mandatory appeals, and high-security incarceration of the condemned. Why not just get rid of all that? Well, because the state putting someone to death is a huge deal. It's a sentence for which there is no just remedy if it is arrived at incorrectly. So the state should be held to an exceedingly high standard for such trials, indisputably much higher than for life-in-prison cases.

IMHO, the state shouldn't bother. Don't hang 'em high. Lock 'em up instead.

For the same price you can get a much more capable machine in the Mac mini

It's rough carrying your monitor around with you.

With the Neo you are not going to be able to do much more than browse the web, use web application, play simple games, and use it as fancy typewriter.

Heavens, what ever did we do before the 2020s? Play simple games and use fancy typewriters I guess. Although I do wonder where the first web app came from, the one that let us make all the other web apps.

Ukraine is affecting their daily lives, by hitting their pocketbooks instead of wasting their attacks on "war crimes," i.e. hitting worthless targets which don't help end the war at all.

Murder a civilian and all you do is slightly sour their family against the war. Blow up an oil storage tank and you just made thousands of people have to suffer through inconvenience.

And worst of all, you heartlessly, viciously left them alive, where they'll remember how much poverty sucks, and they'll complain about it too. Good luck achieving that level of sadistic manipulation through mere murder.

A few things:

1. We don't hang anyone anymore. Capital punishment typically involves lethal injection, although some jurisdictions may allow the condemned their choice. (Including hanging?)

2. Nobody can be convicted of treason if the USA is not in a war declared by Congress. Treason is a serious crime -- the only one mentioned in the US Constitution -- and the bar to be met for conviction is proportionately serious.

3. Under US law, collusion is not itself a specific, prosecutable crime. (But conspiracy is.)

4. I would like to see justice served as much as you, but not by killing people.

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.

Bonus points to those who spot the reference.

Don’t they hate the government meddling in their affairs?

Yes. They love it when it meddles in other people's affairs though. Demand it in fact.

More like going from Slashdot post to Java. Truthy sounding but incorrect proofs that suck up people's time aren't just an AI thing. Mathematicians have been arguing for 15 years whether the ABC conjecture has been proven or not.

Exactly.

You expect me to believe the thing that provided some income disparity relief for a large percentage of remote workers (same pay, lower costs from relocating) is at fault for others not having jobs? I've worked (remotely) with young people. They seem eager and capable, far more so than most other age demographics.

This is just companies finding excuses, looking to claw back more control.

It sounds like you don't understand how the court system works. The SCOTUS only hears cases which are brought before it, and then selectively.

Which cases specifically do you feel indicate corruption on the part of the SCOTUS? There are definitely some dissenting decisions which don't adhere to the US constitution, and there is definitely a long running theme in the courts of activist judges re-interpreting well defined language, and perhaps (probably) even a couple judges who are compromised, but I'm not aware of any evidence of corruption.

Internet says yes:

That's fine, and you now have a button to choose.

it is my device, i decide what do do.

This is pretty silly though. There are a whole bunch of decisions in any non-trivial bit of electronics that you have nothing to do with. Would you like the processor not to thermal throttle either? Perhaps you'd like to choose whether the power supplies switch from PWM to PFM mode?

It's not even Adafruit's side of the story. They said they got a nasty lawyer letter, that's it. Everything else is speculation.

The bit about a server misconfiguration making some information public that shouldn't have been might hint that the truth is more interesting.

I don't think there's anything in an Apple laptop to make it non-compliant. You need a torx screwdriver, and a spudger is kind of handy. If you want your speakers to not rattle afterward you also want a bit of double sided tape.

Pretty much every phone is already mostly compliant, with the exception of little things like Apple's nice heat release glue.

Earbuds are generally not compliant because they're ultrasonically welded shut. They're really where improvements need to be made, but of course they're also the place where improvements are the hardest.
