"Done more for": No
Done more to? Maybe

His entire empire is based of of exploitation of inequality of economic power in the most extreme ways.

U.S. median household income is about $84k. Typical personal savings rate is 4% of income. Modern capitalism regularly wipes out gains entirely every decade or two, so we'll ignore interest for the sake of simplicity. So, the typical American household would save about $3.3k a year. It would take roughly 66 million years to reach Jeff Bezos’s net worth.

So yeah, some people will use billionaire as a "snarl word".

Why are you out here trying to do Bezos' PR for free? He's not going to pick you.

Bullshit. The electoral college in combination with term limits means the presidency is maybe the least democratically representative component of federal government.

Continuing:

Dickhead starts a war which is a plausible reason for continued inflation
Businesses keep prices anchored even higher than the tariff-level highs
Consumers also do not get relief going forward either

The same people usually don't want to learn either. I know of people for whom an EV would be a perfect fit; local driving only, low annual miles (I'm talking maybe 5k/year)...but claim that "there are too many unknowns" with EVs. The only "unknowns" are the ones you don't want to learn about.

I would add to that "on a regular basis." For example, if you're towing a boat to/from that marina twice a year for launching/storage, then a EV still makes sense; rent a big pickup for those few times per year that you need the capacity. If there is a need for the capacity on a frequent, regular basis, then the math certainly changes.

As a Mac user and electrical engineer, I respectfully disagree.

None of the engineering software I come across in daily use (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, power systems analysis, machine controls development) is available for the Mac. SolidWorks and power systems analysis work on a Windows VM (and now I'm tempted to try the controls software) but I haven't seen Mac versions.

Of course the answer will vary depending on your field, but if we are being honest with ourselves, most engineering applications are going to be Windows-based.

Wasn't it setup.bat? I remember having to modify the startup batch file when I expanded my first PC to a whopping 512KB of memory.

Can you still do hackintoshes now that Apple has moved to their own ARM-based processors?

Isn't touting its AI performance contrary to the phrase "giving the users only what they want?"

Well glad to see I'm not the only one who sees this.

I get it; it's Slashdot where knee jerk reactions to summaries are historically the norm. But when posting a summary this f*****g long, there's need LESS motivation to read the original story.

Hey editors, a SUMMARY is one or two paragraphs AT MOST, highlighting key phrases or ideas. you're just cutting and pasting major chunks of the story. Show a little effort ffs! SUMMARIZE the story so we can go read the full original and maybe encourage more intelligent comments!

I'd guess safety. Would you want to ride back to the recovery ship dangling from a chopper in a multi-ton capsule or up on the chopper itself?

This sounds more like a story meant to plant the seeds of FUD..."we can detect a heartbeat in the middle of a desert, we can find YOU." It projects an aura of technological power and superiority.

This reminds me of a passage in the book "Pentagon Wars" that talks about the US's outdated approach to warfare...overwhelming technological superiority, just "beat the hell out of the enemy" is how I would label it. This talk about quantum magnetometry reminded me of this passage. It is intended to project, whether true or not, technological superiority.

I think here "open" means "not limited to internally-generated apps." Yes there are rules and guidelines that have to be met in order to publish an app to the App Store, but any developer can get published.

Whether you agree or disagree with those guidelines is a different question.

Opps, I got sidetracked and jumped to airline fees...but my point stands. The fuel surcharge isn't going to go away if/when fuel prices come down.

The pessimist in me says this is one of those temporary fees that will get removed...never. It's the airlines' way of boosting ticket prices without boosting ticket prices themselves. Think the fee will get dropped once fuel prices go down? No, neither do I.

Concur to a point...a little fire (drill) and flooding (drill) to get the blood moving periodically is good.
