My work Laptop, which is nothing more than a Thinclient with Teams (everything else has to be done on various remote machines, because security!!!), takes well over five minutes to be usable... And then it's "idling" at approx. 20% CPU, presumably because of all the security tools fighting each other who the mostestest securest is... It's ridiculous...

The Trump administration and the Epstein files clearly show that we are totally corrupted as a species. A few people, shoveling money on big heaps are driving us into the abyss, and nothing can be done about it. Maybe you can't even blame them. They simply are not capable of imaginig a world where things are different as they imagine them to be. Like 2D beings, living in a 3D world...

Oh look! The Anonymous Coward is defending the Homeland Gestapo, How curious!

Whlie you're at it, change it to an EV Ban! I for one welcome everything that will remove the cancer that we humans are from the face of the planet...

It will happen anyway, so rip off the bandaid as fast as possible! YAY!

Well, they are going to kill us anyways, maybe we can get over this faster this way.

I say: DO IT!

But nerds are gonna nerd... Noone is forcing anyone to buy anything.

A few years ago there were fugly phone cases for 10.000$ which sold like hotcakes to show anyone that you have soooo much money you don't really know what to do with it.

I'm just watching in morbid fascination while the ruling caste tells the npc caste that they should rage against science and consume consume CONSUME until the world starts burning. Then, the npcs will start fighting each other for the remaining resources and, finally, somewhere in the future, the last human living will die starving on his huge mountain of money, his only regret being that his mointain isn't even higher.

Jasper Fforde, is that you?

"[Netflix] members pay as much attention to midroll ads as they do to the shows and movies themselves," Amy Reinhard, president of advertising at Netflix, said.

where?! At least not in the linked article.

I think it's rather amusing how the whole ad industry is such a deluisional circle jerk....

And he was stupid, too! Everybody knows that you can legally shoot anyone from a safe distance, that even only eyes you menacingly, right?

I wonder when the next guy sitting on a roof with a .308 and a nice big scope claims he felt threatened be the kids playing soccer 300 yards away...
