Displays. Even the cheap TVs and monitors look incredibly good.

That's how you end up with the bigger evil.

Nice reference to PBS Space Time. The YouTube channel where I just get bullied with science, and for some weird twisted reason I like it.

It could have been worse. The romans had the day divided into 24 hours, like we do, but the hours varied in length so that from sunrise to sunset, you would always have 12 hours.

Imagine if that was the agreed upon time system, and we had to program that into computers.

Microsoft is a conglomerate of many small companies that share infrastructure and a few other things like accounting and HR.

And I also don't want programs to throw all their crap in the documents folder. AppData is made for that.

Microsoft should also be to blame here. Sending BIOS updates via automatic windows updates should not be a thing.

After ~20-30 years, rubber gaskets and seals and cable insulation start failing. Plastic becomes brittle, especially if exposed to the sun. How do they solve this problem?

Fucking Teams does this and it's really annoying. Clicking the downloaded notification doesn't take you to where the file was downloaded.

You end up stranded on a foreign planet. You need to build a rocket so you can go home, but unfortunately you have to build a whole manufacturing facility to do that. As if this wasn't hard enough, the inhabitants of the planet are environmentalist assholes and will do anything in their power to stop you.

Alphabet needs to be broken up, same as Microsoft and Apple and Amazon. The consolidation of tech into a few giant corporations that have a tremendous amount of power and hold a monopoly/duopoly is doing a lot of harm.
