"Flock's director of market management Caity Peak explains how real time crime centers — which are police surveillance centers" That pretty much sums it up.

They cost 100 times less to make. Recent history has shown that savings in production is not passed down to the consumer like it used to be with electronics. Remember when Reagan and Clinton crushed the unions and most high paying manufacturing moved overseas to dirt cheap labor. Manufacturers must have saved billions on labor costs. Remember how the price of manufactured goods suddenly was reduced by 40% when that happened? Neither do I. I just remember the prices kept going up.

"Windows triggers random black screens where the desktop freezes for a second or two, the display goes black, then everything comes back."

Wait. That's not a feature?

Trump, republicans, kickbacks, bribes. Any questions, take a look at how republicans and FirstEnergy screwed Ohio utility payers:

GOP SOP - Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor. LOL! They even hired mob thugs to intimidate the petition signature collectors that were trying to stop the thievery in Ohio.

When their company stock inevitably crashes, you take the loss if you have any mutual funds with their stock.

Fourth and most likely explanation: Biden aggressively pushed wind power. Just as with trump's first term, he's trying to undo everything done by his predecessor because they both called him out for the corrupt degenerate he is.

But stock buy-backs were designed to plunder our 401k retirement accounts. Who could have predicted the lying thieves would also run their companies into the ground?

Americans were dumb enough to put trump in office..., twice. No doubt they'll be dumb enough to elect reps that will sell them out to their tech bro overlords.

I think the problem stems from Europeans not having republican legislators to gut all their antitrust, financial crimes, and consumer protection laws.

They just didn't bribe trump enough.
