If she and her brother covered the entire A Kind of Magic album, and they used those songs in the movie. Just like the original. I could get on board with that.

No mention of Google Maps?

And Kagi is absolutely worth the 10€. Give it a couple months. It's very hard to go back to free search.
Maybe they should offer a full refund if you cancel within the first 3 months or something.

I suppose that depends on what you mean by "shit". They're the same displays as in retail units. Maybe a generation older. But that's it. Samsung doesn't have special lines making different screens for a niche market like this. LG even has OLED Signage Displays.

Most still have the computer built in. But the software is complety different. They have some different features that would make sense for an always on screen in a shop, office, or airport. You can load up a thumb drive with images for the screen to rotate through. Upload new images through WiFi or Ethernet. Use that same network connection to setup, synchronize, and controll dozens of screens, making a video wall. Pretty cool stuff really.

Just none of the spyware. Since there is no individual or household to tie the data to, that part becomes pretty useless.

They're called Signage Displays.
Most major names you know make them.
They do cost more, but not prohibitively so.

Do procedurally generated levels and things count?

They also suggest splitting off Android and sharing data. But that seems barely a start. If you're going through the effort to take them down, take them all the way down.

They should split off nearly every major product and service. Make it a couple dozen separate companies.

I'm genuinely curious about peoples thoughts on this.

It made sense for a while. But the branding change was 16 months ago. The URI change was 3 months ago. Everybody knows now what X is. Yet for some reason, I still see in news stories today:
"... on X — formerly known as Twitter — and said ..."
I really don't think that's needed anymore. But I'm always one to want changes as fast and painless as possible.

So what do you think would be an appropriate amount of time to keep reminding everyone that Twitter is now X?
Months?
Years?
How many?

No.
The original concept had the first 3 digits identifying a regional office that issued the number.
And no SSN has been issued with any group of digits having all 0's

Fore more info Wikipedia is good at this kind of stuff.

Kagi AI summery:
Cards Against Humanity (CAH) is suing SpaceX for allegedly taking over a plot of land on the US/Mexico border that CAH purchased in 2017 to prevent the construction of Trump's border wall. CAH claims it maintained the land but SpaceX later moved construction equipment and materials onto the property without permission. The lawsuit seeks up to $15 million in damages to restore the land and cover losses, and also requests punitive damages. CAH says SpaceX never asked for permission to use the property and never apologized for the damage. The lawsuit includes before and after photos purporting to show SpaceX's use of the land.

And CAH's website all about it

How many people did he get sick because he refused to stay home when he should've?

I won't encourage this kind of dedication

I saw a law office once in the early 2000s that was 9-5. And the entire office shut down for an hour, while they all had lunch together in the conference room. The phones all went to voicemail and everything. I was working on replacing a few of their computers that day. They made me stop and join them. Seemed like a great place to work.

Agreed. It really looks like they only killed the one whistle blower.

I can also see the irony. But I can't imagine another way to do it at any scale. Do you know of another option?
