It’s not just the incompetence that’s the problem, it’s also the laziness and malice.

Plastic or not, the pod system is always going to be a wasteful, crappy way to do things.

And I get perfect coffee every morning from my $25 French press. The burr grinder cost more, but I received that as a gift.

Well, not yet. There’s still a lot of future.

Well, that and also hand out rocket launchers to randomly-selected citizens.

Or perhaps you should work on staying out of off-topic pissing contexts about irrelevancies?

See, it wasn’t a war started with no reason.

In the middle should be “eraser.”

And for a few years after, until Lenovo started lifecycling them and the enshittification began.

People criticize how sound works in Linux, while in MacOS a userspace program can make a sound device or a network device stuck till reboot.

“Encrypted with ROT-0!”

The primary reason is that Trump and the MAGA congress are letting them overcharge.

And that’s fine. It incentivizes some weird behavior, but there can be rational strategies that work in that environment, not only the deranged herd behavior that we see during speculative bubbles such as this one. And there are even worse methods of allocating money to investment opportunities (for example, politicians picking winners).

Decentralizaed approaches to dealing with crypto are also full of bad actors.

If you’re forced into those markets, never put in more than you need to spend. That’ll reduce the damage if they get hacked or (even more typically) steal your money and disappear.

Only Gamey Gummi Bears.

Time to short Cisco.

So they bought 10% for $8.9 billion? So Intel’s market cap is only $89 billion? No, earlier this month it was $350 bn. So what’s going on here?
