Too many layers of abstraction. You're running an OS inside a slice of a processor in a virtual machine. Inside that sits more containers like docker and even python now with virtual envs. Every layer ads more cpu instructions to simple tasks.

Unikernel to the rescue?

You make a good point, when it comes to technical matters, to you and I he looks like a loony. So, hear me out, what if other matters, such as politics, he looks like a loony to experts who study that, or virology, or economics. What if we only see his technical buffoonery and recognise how stupid he is. What if he is stupid across the board?

What if LG becomes Fecebook, in the sense that they're selling you to the advertiser. What if LG start putting eSIM devices into the screens so that you get a free picture box in exchange for your preferences to sell to the advertiser? You might not notice it in the menus, but you might get product placement of some sort. It's a horrible future which I foresee.

So between the lines, you gave real estate for sex with a human, how much real estate is robot sex worth as a monthly maintenance fee? That's the economics that the vendor wants to work out. Just how shit does the service have to get before you stop paying.

I think that's some wishful thinking if you believe those success stories aren't just shills.

ignoring all other aspects, the actual shoplifters don't go near the tills, and don't get deterred by anything. They'll walk in, probably with a face mask, pick up what they want, and walk out. The door attendants don't intervene. So who does this actually target? Who does it police? Not the shoplifters that account for the majority of "shrinkage".
