Almost two years of non stop video.
Break it, privatize it, squeeze for every penny. That’s their business.
Fast, cheap, good. They’re going for 1 out of 3.
Seems like they wanted the web and app version of outlook to work identically. Some things don’t work on the web though, so they decided to cut features on the app until they were the same as web. It’s just such a corporate move.
The very classic four stage program.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Then we follow the four-stage strategy.
Bernard Woolley: What’s that?
Sir Richard Wharton: Standard Foreign Office response in a time of crisis. In stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Sir Richard Wharton: In stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there’s nothing we can do.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it’s too late now.
I can’t help but think “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly” with this news
Rapid unscheduled disassembly, now available on cars.
“Sorry but I only have video about the construction process. All the cameras I’ve set up got fried when I’ve set this thing off, including the memory cards.

but I think vr at this point has become an expensive novelty
Always has been. I went to demonstrations of this tech in the nineties when I was in college. It was going to be the next big thing. That never happened. It seems to come back every few years and then fade out again.
And the other one:
“English is a language that lurks in dark alleys, beats up other languages and rifles through their pockets for spare vocabulary”
15 MW power needed, while a single reactor gives 500 to 1000 MW. The usual nuclear plant and power lines seem more likely.
There are also people putting grapes on pizza. Any feeling about that?
Cyberpunk 2077. But I don’t have to wonder about it. Its happening already.
Yes, what’s up with that? Couldn’t USA find a peaceful solution back then? But no, they had to invade. Its like they didn’t want peace. /s
Or when a truck is moving traffic lights
Yes, as is already happening with police crime prediction AI. In goes data that says there is more violence in black areas, so they have a reason to police those areas more, tension rises and more violence happens. In the end it’s an advanced excuse to harass the people there.
