For 20 years, plus or minus, personal computers reversed that idea.

I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power are not what I live for. I have a lot of fun and happiness. I funded a lot of important museums and arts groups in San Jose, the city of my birth, and they named a street after me for being good. I now speak publicly and have risen to the top. I have no idea how much I have but after speaking for 20 years it might be $10M plus a couple of homes. I never look for any type of tax dodge. I earn money from my labor and pay something like 55% combined tax on it. I am the happiest person ever. Life to me was never about accomplishment, but about Happiness, which is Smiles minus Frowns. I developed these philosophies when I was 18-20 years old and I never sold out.

Anyone interested in a good treatment of some of the challenges faced by a generational ship should read Kim Stanley Robinsonâ(TM)s Aurora. Excellent fictional treatment of the challenges faced by such an endeavor.

I loved the flying toasters on my Mac LC!

Known VPN services have identifiable server addresses that can be blocked. Instead, you can set up a cheap raspberry pi (or other) at your home and use an encrypted SSH connection to that [raspberry pi] from far away. Then turn on your SOCKS proxy (part of WiFi Details on Macintosh) and check to see that your IP address shows to the world you access as that of your raspberry pi. I do this all the time, including right now. It also helps to watch sports events.

My PowerBook Ti was my fav laptop I've ever owned. Kept it until the hinges broke and apple no longer provided OS updates.

Thanks.

These drugs have price tags of > $30,000 per year. Given the modest demonstrated benefit I would suggest overall health and quality of life for Alzheimer's patients and their families would be better served by offering them $30,000 worth of supportive care (ie support cost of memory care residential facilities, respite care for care givers, etc.). But then of course pharmco CEO's might have to give up one of their yachts. Imagine only having a boat only the Atlantic. Just a horror.

You mean like it's an illegal cartel that needs to be aggressively destroyed? Okay!

To be fair to you, that's obvious to anyone with even minimal information about petro oil or a willingness to look it up quickly.

Key takeaway: don't gather your torch and pitchfork posse until you can verify things are real.

Good thing a CCP owned and directed social media company isn't a person.

When enlightened centrism and Putin bootlicking overlap, lol.

Just what we need, China's Great Firewall at the OS level exported to the world. At least it would come pre-compromised so the CCP APT groups don't have to waste time to doing the hard part.

Koreans work long hours then are expected to go out drinking with the boss. Adding another work day just means another a perfect reason to not have a family.

Korea needs to break up the chaebols before it destroys them or degrades them further.
