There are 6, 7 and 8 inch laptops available for all the on-the-go computing you need.

And gamers are looking to SteamOS to replace windows.

Things are then okay for some time, but suddenly things go horrific and they’ll all be saying “how could we have known?”

I’ve almost always broken my phone before it getting out of date or laggy was any issue. I’m a bit clumsy.

It’s why I buy budget phones. Expensive phones break easier so far. They have a nice design? I wouldn’t know, it doesn’t leave its case ever.

And when the car is drivable you do a demo for the customer to show what it’ll look like, somebody in the room will ask what the flight ceiling is and things first go very quiet and then very loud. After much discussion it turns out they actually need a flying car. Of course there is no additional budget for that.

Guess what traits tend to make for people better at securing and conserving power within groups, and keeping loyalty within their ranks?

In a time of crisis. The biggest downside of these leaders is that they keep creating new crises to stay in power. There are cases of killing such a leader because of that.

And in a lot of leaders, their status was defined for how much they could give away and how generous they were, not how tough they were.

Then there is religion, that manages to encoded certain rules and pass them on to the next generations.

The world is a lot more than psychopaths.

It’s the deregulated part that’s an issue when people lose their life savings and nobody can help them because no regulations.

Because they want to build and experiment without all the red tape. Of course they do and people have to relearn why regulations are written in blood.

They hate the FDA, but one of the reasons it exists was because some folks sold radioactive beverages, mascara that caused blindness, a bunch of snake oil and medicine that killed people and/or caused deformities.

Adventures with financial deregulation and crypto haven’t been much better so far.

Judges are warning lawyers there will be sanctions if they kept using LLM to do their research as documents with fake references keep appearing.

That’s a sure sign there is some over promising and under delivering going on.

It doesn’t help with the hate that LLMs have some obvious flaws but tech bros are dead set on declaring it the future and ramming it in every product foie gras style.

Probably realizing that Democrats can now trace who bought MAGA hats and they too have guns.

And the places that do code with generative AI all have quality issues. Their management blames it on the remaining developers not checking and rewriting the AI code enough.

Rich folks of course. They like to meddle with and control the lives of the social classes beneath them. It makes them feel powerful. Same reason it’s back to the office.

And many delivery robots are helped along by a remote worker.

Some of them move to marketing and become sexual predators

Journalists that are critical and environmentalists first. Then harass anybody with left leanings, make a few examples out of them. The usual authoritarian stuff. It’ll get worse once there are false flag operations.

Too big and entrenched

Switching the PC off when it was updating in the background and now the application will never run again on that PC, but continue to hold a license that can only be revoked from the application itself. Running out of hard disk because it for some reason fails to update the application and is now busy downloading it again for attempt #73, of course without cleaning up anything because that only happens after a successful update. Blocking applications daily or weekly because of updates, and of course you urgently need them now.
