Ah, you sweet summer child! You think the US would talk to you first?

Apparently a large percentage of people buy cars without test driving them… so probably.

I feel like the problem here is that you get people who are curious or like the other features the fridge has and just get what they can when theirs goes out. And while, sure, those people learn not to do that again, by that point the industry used that sales data as a “they must like it, lets do it across the board!” Instead of asking people or taking anything else into account when figuring out what products to continue making.

In 10 yrs when those fridges die and people who “learned their lesson” go to buy a new fridge, there will be zero fridges without AI because marketing thought thats why they bought it and no one has any ability to buy a non-AI fridge anymore.

The great thing is that clearly we already have oil: https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=MCRFPUS2&f=M

And that burning dino juice should drop in mid to long term from here out and not be the boom economic effect anyone thinks it is.

It’ll be a fine, which will be massaged away into a “cost of business expense”.

Cool, so now he’s just stealing other country’s stuff. Got it.

We can only hope… Needs to be mixed with SLAMS though.

I feel like ever since smartphones with cameras became ubiquitous, desktop software and website support became depreciated and pushed to the side. No one cares about desktop users anymore. Pages don’t flow right or use more than a thin column of space, peripherals don’t work right, Windows itself is turning into a pile of shit, etc… its like if you don’t want to use your phone, good luck.

I don’t want to live my life on a 5" screen…

Anyone have a non-video summary/article?

Someone (the oil companies) greased his palm enough to convince him it was a good idea. “Follow the money” has never been so true or obvious.

On one hand, its not that bad on a Mac… but that’s because the OS is designed in such a way where there’s nothing there and it sorta gets lost. Windows isn’t like that at all.

On the other hand, At least its not right above the keyboard like some of the ones we have at work… the “up the nose” cam is not flattering.

Actually, thats false. Not that it matters. Hillary had more votes than Trump in that race. And besides that, with a roughly a third of people not voting, no one truly had the Majority of Americans… just the majority of Americans that gave enough of a crap about their country and future of the world to get off their ass and vote.

6 countries?! You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.

Ramble is all he does, its kinda his whole identity at this point.

And why do that when we can just bomb countries for their oil and keep both the petroleum industry AND the war machine churning!

Can we just pin this comment? Seems like it’s pretty much a perfect summary of the situation.

Satya, I really want to stop saying it too… But it’s everywhere, so i call it like it is. Stop making the Slop and I’ll stop saying it.

My favorite question to ask callers when I worked phone support: “What happens when you push the power button”

I got so many “wait, theres a power button?!” replies. And a few <click, whurrrr> “Uhh, i’ll call you back if i have anything else”.

Not sure if they still do, but PC Manufacturers used to get kick backs from every vendor they added shovelware for. For example, E-Machines was famous for it… AOL, Adobe, Office, shareware “pay to unlock” versions of games, Norton, etc. everyone sent checks to Dell, HP, Compaq, etc, just to peddle their wares for them.

It will take decades if not centuries to get back to the amount of goodwill and trust the US had across the globe before this fascist felon took office… and we didn’t even have that much to begin with. He doesn’t believe in America First, he’s only goal is pushing us toward America Alone.
