Comment Tesla? (Score 2) 150

Why is Tesla on the list? Is a car company. How is the entire company that is trying to combat global warming and move to a sustainable future a threat to democracy?

Or are they just talking about its CEO and tarring the entire company for him?

If they hate Musk, X is a more appropriate thing to list. But Tesla?!

Comment Good riddance Google (Score 2) 89

Their usefulness for me finding answers to tech problems has nose dived lately due to SEO shenanigans to get these tech solution pages full of ads to top of results.

Like no matter what error code you search for lately you get the first page full of

"The problem you searched for" [SOLVED] ... then a bunch of pages that say to run SFC /SCANNOW, the trio of DISM commands and if that doesn't work, try system restore.

It's gotten so bad I get better answers if I just append "site:reddit.com" to any issue I want to look for.

Comment I don't understand old people who are bored (Score 2) 38

I'm old.

I don't get people around my age who are starting to retire and complain they have nothing to do and are bored. My God, I wish I had the time to play the games I want to play.

I just hope by the time I end up in a nursing home they are equipped with decent VR stations. Just plug me in in the morning after breakfast and don't bother me until it's time for dinner. Then take me back and plug me back in again.

Apple already knew they needed to replace Classic Mac OS and had been trying unsuccessfully for years. That's when they decided to go with a pre-built solution and started looking at NextSTEP and BeOS. They picked NextSTEP and Steve brought the NextSTEP devs with him and overhauled both hardware and software in a remarkably short period of time.

But it didn't take Steve coming back for Apple to realize that Classic Mac OS was on it's last legs. The crazy amount of time and money Apple invested in replacing Mac OS, and failing to actually do so, is part of why they were near death in the first place.
