The professional attention whores will be replaced with AI generated attention whores, and attention whoring will be dialled up to 11. Eventually, your toaster will refuse to toast your bread unless you click like 3 times and watch it dance on your kitchen table while it's extolling the virtues of Phillips steam powered ironing boards.
No, communism isn't mentioned there either.
The ones who dumpster dive are generally the ones who can't afford to buy it. I'm not sure how you can't figure that part out. Sometimes I wonder if most people who have never been poor are just unable to understand what life is like for the global majority, if it's just something too alien to their experience to comprehend or something. I don't get it.
Better to pay to guard it than give it away?
When I worked at the produce market we left produce that we couldn't sell next to the dumpster for people to come get. Why pay the dumpster fee to get rid of it when people need it? More often we'd tell customers, "Half that box of oranges is bad, give me a buck and it's yours." No big box store would do that, of course.
The only nod that Apple makes to manageability is it can authenticate to an LDAP directory, no user profiles, no group policies. Won't run any of the building management or security programs that I've worked with, and won't even display typical security video correctly (probably because it's such a low frame rate). Engineering programs are flaky at best, when they'll work at all. Even using USB it won't talk to security hardware, can't plug into a wired network, has no file control equivalent to NTFS. I'm stoned or I probably would be able to think of more.
Is if they confirmed your age by a behavioral maturity test. AI could monitor posts, and if it figures out that someone with an emotional age of 15 or older wouldn't have posted such a thing, you're cut off.
Art and cultural activity is a major sector of the US economy. It adds a staggering 1.17 *trillion* dollars to the US GDP. However that's hard to see because for the most part it's not artists who receive this money.
The actual creative talent this massive edifice is built upon earns about 1.4% of the revenue generated. The rest goes to companies whose role in the system is managing capital and distributing. Of that 1.4% that goes to actual creators, the lion's share goes to a handful of superstars -- movie stars and music stars and the like. This is not as unfair as it sounds, as it reflects the superstar's ability to earn money for the companies they distribute through, but the long tail of struggling individual artists play a crucial role in artistic innovation and creativity. Behind every Elvis there's a Big Mama Thornton, and armies of gospel singers who may have made a record or two but never made a living.
We can't run this giant economic juggernaut off a handful of superstars with AI slop filling in the gaps in demand. But maybe we'll give that a try.
Looks like the displays have something like a 128x78 'pixel' active LED display as a backlight, and then put an LCD on top of it.
So if a tiny region of the display is just dim reds, then it can get a backlight that is doing just that and the LCD doesn't have to block as much other stuff.
No, this is still backlit LCDs.
The LEDs are still 'just' a backlight, but now a colored backlight. You basically have an OLED-like characteristic of emissive lighting at some resolution. The problem is the resolution of these LEDs would be something like a 128x78 display. Impossibly low even by old fashioned 'SD' standards.
So you have a 128x78 active LED display, and then an LCD panel on top to give it resolution. So you get to pick a good tiny local backlight color and minimize how much extraneous unwanted color that tiny dimming zone needs to filter out.
How about "something that is interoperable with most of the hardware and software the enterprise uses, the ability to be centrally managed by the IT department, follows standards and conventions of the computer industry so that any user can sit down and be productive without training, and which can secure corporate digital and physical assets"? Apple doesn't hit ANY of those points. Until recently Apple products have been relegated to non-critical departments like Marketing which never touch high value assets, and for good reason.
The average Mac user would never be able to figure it out, much less someone who just changed operating systems and is still trying to figure out how to add their frelling printer.
Apple fanbois.
Not sure if you're claiming that North Korea is among the happiest populations on the planet (they're not) or if you mistakenly think they're socialist (they're not). Try again?
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
