The iPod was so derivative of the creative labs mp3 player that Apple ultimately had to pay them $100 million.

The Lisa and later the Macintosh copied from xerox. Something that everyone was doing around then. Amiga and Atari ST both had guis. Hell even the commodore 64 had Geos. The Mac didn’t even get color until 1987.

Handspring had a smart phone, complete with touch screen and apps, years before the iPhone.

Mac os didn’t have proper multitasking until version 7.5, years after Windows had it.

Onkyo created the first true wireless earbuds.

Doesn’t Australia include the tax in the listed price of the item instead of adding it at the end?

Steam deck 2: episode 2

Which makes the lack of an android app all the more shitty. They have one already but refuse to make it available if the device isn’t connected to a TV.

Then you get into the actual layout of the program. Spoilers are a huge issue. I can’t watch a game later without having the game ruined partially. Sure you can switch off scores, but you still have to scroll through game highlights to get to the full match replay.

I’m a 53 year old IT person, and I’m leaning towards 1. The level of technology incompetence in the general public is astounding. My wife only knows “Have you tried turning it off and back on again?” And that pretty much makes her a member of the help desk at her job.

There are HDMI cables that are basically HDMI to fiber tranceivers. The HDMI plug draws power from the HDMI port to use active components to convert to a fiber signal.

I think mostly people buy disposables because they don’t know how 510 batteries work. Or sometimes the strain you want is only available as a disposable.

I don’t like disposables because I’ve ran out of battery when 1/3 if the product was left. I’ve switched to concentrates and a vape that handles them.

I had a few where the battery died while there was still stuff to vape in it. Doubly wasteful. I then switched to a concentrate vape and buying live rosin/resin

Like naming a star.

Until what? Until Russia is a dictatorship? That ship sailed a long time ago.

It all started when they removed “Don’t be evil” from their mission statement.

Cute naming schemes are for people who don’t have lots of servers. At my work we have over 700 servers. We’re not naming them after something arbitrary, we’re being descriptive.

Space war is old, those are from my childhood… Shit.

Whatever. It’s not really admissable. People talk about tons of things that they don’t actually do. For example, I talked today on teams about deleting a problematic app from our vcenter just so we didn’t have to deal with a compatible issue. Didn’t actually do it.

It all should be like radio. Report what you play and pay for it based on your viewers.
