We could invent replicators tomorrow (they are basically just advanced 3D printers) but if we still have Fascism, extremism, and egomaniacs it’s not going to help. They would probably just pass a law that said that replicators were only for the government and then print up a bunch of guns.

I don’t mind bees. It’s the ones that bite you for no reason at all that I can’t stand.

It’s kind of sad that you’re so terminally online that you think that everyone else must know who the hell this guy is. All I know about him is that he’s some YouTuber I have never watched any of his content nore have I really heard anything about any controversy.

I didn’t know he was a Nazi I just find him annoying.

Nope, I’ve got no idea what that is.

Is usually around this point in time that they admit that they haven’t actually got the computer in front of them. I guess they’re just trying to memorise the instructions or something.

Personally I would not recommend an iPhone to an elderly person. They are not going to use 99% of the features anyway so what’s the point in buying an expensive phone when you can get them a cheap Samsung for 150 bucks.

The justification used to be that IOS was a friendlier interface but I think a combination of Android getting better and iOS getting worse means that that’s no longer the case. Hell their new design apparently makes everything transparent and hard to see.

Physical buttons for brightness is a bad idea. People will just press them by accident and then complain that the screen changes brightness all the time. Laptops get away with it because they already have a bajillion buttons, and anyway in most cases the screen brightness buttons are actually multifunctional anyway so it doesn’t add to the button count.

And they keep repeating “I’m not a computer person” as if that’s some kind of excuse.

So don’t watch it then.

There’s absolutely nothing else on the platform. It’s all utter rubbish I have zero interest in watching.

I was kind of hoping that the lower decks would clarify what happened to the Zindi, since in the canonical timeline they kind of just disappeared after the founding of the federation. Presumably they didn’t join since we never see or hear about them.

I saw them being sold out of a vending machine once. Never seen that ever again but apparently one town does it.

The big problem is that half the time the answer that you get is that you shouldn’t be in the situation you’re in so the question doesn’t apply.

Well yeah, but here’s the thing, if I ask the question it’s because I am in the situation I’m in, and therefore need assistance. So telling me that the situation I’m in is not optimal is literally the least helpful thing one could do.

At least now I don’t have to deal with the rudeners.

I do like the fact that when I ask it a question it actually gives me the answer, and doesn’t tell me to refactor my entire code because apparently I’m a bad person.

You have to etch them with Eldritch potions on the mystical and long-lost island of Ti-wo-ann.

It’s just that sometimes they don’t respond to input.

I’m sure it’s all part of his genius marketing strategy for his new car

That’s when you load all middle managers onto a spaceship and send them off under the guise of colonising a new world.

make it so the users can’t close the tab until they bought something.

Why do they always request that? They’ve never seen any website on the internet work like that yet they actually think that they are the first people to come up with that idea.
