Sssssshhhhhh! You're scaring the Americans!

The reviewer should be truthful and fair. If that means trashing a shitty product then that's how it should be. Not calling out shitty products hurts the consumer and means the reviewer is doing a bad job.

A lot of decisions at Xitter were made seat-of-the-pants by Muskiboi. No modelling going on and if there is, they're really bad at it.

Ah yes, all the ex-girlfriends' numbers. Gotta get more memory to hold all those.

A single Arch user can generate enough energy to power a family home for a day. Just tell them the latest update to grdfrgl-upflmupfl-lib.tar.gz just dropped and they have to register on the hill to download it.

All hydrogen was made just after the Big Bang.

Our records indicate you haven't received your Neuralink implant yet. Please report to the Elon Musk Centre for Compulsory Happiness next Thursday at ten. Failure to comply will result in your arrest.

Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets (arstechnica.com)

But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don't do this not because they can't but because they don't want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

Diplomjodler3 OP ,

The business models of the current tech giants are very much based on planned obsolescence. Selling you a gadget for $ 1000 every two years will always be more profitable than selling you one very five years and doing service in the meantime.

Diplomjodler3 OP ,

It's hard for a small manufacturer to start selling in overseas markets. It would take a certain volume for them to have the capital to set up shop in the US.

Diplomjodler3 OP ,

Nooooo! You can pry my cheap tat produced by child labour from my cold dead hands!

Obligatory: Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?

Diplomjodler3 ,

If your grandparents can administrate their own Windows PC, they'll be able to use Linux just fine. If they only use the browser and you set it all up for them, that'll work in Linux just as well.

Diplomjodler3 ,

And that sort of thing never happens with Windows?

Diplomjodler3 ,

A low end Windows PC can be had very cheap these days. Why bother doing something proprietary, if you can just cobble together something from off the shelf parts?

Elektrek did some articles about this. The superchargers are overwhelmed because the grid cannot provide enough power. In the well known tropical paradise of Norway, no such problems occur.

Don't forget police murdering people and doing highway robbery.
