"Phones are a pain in the arse to turn 90 degrees"

Even for you thats a really poor troll. Had a bad day? Have another go.

Yeah,. that'll be why streaming movies on phones is in portrait mode... oh, wait...

They're all in fucking portrait mode so borderline unwatchable on a pc.

Are Gen Z ever going to figure out that yes, you can actually turn a phone through 90 degrees?

Its been engineered deliberately so it won't work without a net connection so they can charge a subscription model and possibly get user sleep data too.

The only dumb bit is on the part of the morons who parted with 4 figure sums to buy this thing from these grifters in the first place.

"An insider at the bank, a self-professed fan of the technology"

Lets see how much of a fanboy he is when HE gets replaced by it. And yes, it probably is a man as psychopathy tends to be more common in males.

It does have a few minor use cases if for example you want to do something in a large window while keeping an eye on another one underneath, but yeah, generally its more annoying that useful. Windows did it for a long time too, think it was 8 that finally binned it but not 100% on that.

It was probably installed long before he rocked up. The fact that people running a weapons facility think its appropriate to use ANY kind of web based collaboration system or even have the facility connected to the internet AT ALL says a lot about the kind of mouth breathing morons they've put in place to run the IT systems there.

Interesting thought experiment there - if a piece of sheet paper was somehow deorbited at orbital velocity would it burn up in instant or would it just drift down?

"wage slave" is a pretty old term. Yeah, some people overegg things to get sympathy but its hardly a new use of the word.

... will still believe that Cloud is somehow magical and immune from outages despite plenty of examples to the contrary, particularly from Azure in the last few years.

Like a lot of words in english, slave can have different nuanced meanings in different contexts. Its not reserved just for people enslaved or their ancestors so please don't pretend otherwise unless you think for example master-slave tty's are example of kernel cruelty.

Dunno, Gummy Bears?

Or maybe it breaks down into water and C02 which has 1/28th the warming potential of methane. Well done on completely missing the point.

Yes, it wasn't. Next?

Go have a think and youll figure it out.

I wouldn't trust a civil shipping company to maintain a nuclear reactor to a sufficient standard for it to be safe, particularly some of the dodgier firms flying a flag of convenience. Also civil ships have an unfortunately habit of sinking quite often so by now there would probably be dozens or even hundreds of decaying reactors with the minimum shielding they could get away with on the ocean floor - an enviromental disaster waiting to happen.
