Wasn’t the Juicero also simply not strong enough to press actual fruit, so the bags were just… Bags of fruit juice? I remember seeing people buy one and just poking a hole for a straw like those lunch juice pockets.

This is wonderful news for all the oligarchs! They see a headline like this and are likely cheering and sharing champagne.

Oh gods, the Juicero. Yeah, it’s of the same ilk. The “smart” trend of adding computers and network connections to things that literally never needed them.

Like the smart water bottle that reminded you about being thirsty and needing to drink.

You know, I don’t believe there are so many Russian bots astroturfing the Internet. There are plenty of regular humans who truly believe Russia is doing nothing but defend itself, in “aggressive NATO expansion”, and a whole generally anti-West attitude.

They hate America for being an imperialist power, which… Yeah. Absolutely. But then in the same breath state Russia isn’t, and that they’re nothing more than a victim of said Imperialism.

Consider this an anecdote, but I have family who says these things. Bots need not apply.

This reminds me the tue smart tea kettle that required an always online connection to function, and became completely useless when the servers shut down.

Yes, it was a kettle. Yes, like the one you use for boiling water.

It had settings for certain types of tea that it didn’t have on-device. And it didn’t have a basic “just boil the water” function.

The handheld PC market is really becoming competition, huh?

How long until the “developers” drop this project because they have no idea what the code does or how to maintain it?

Yes, because the market is such a free place bereft of oligarch control.

Does this mean they’ll be forced to hire locally with a fair wage, right? 😃

… They’ll hire locally at a fair wage… Right…? 😐

Seconded on Sable.

Firstly, it already is. It depends on what client you use.

Secondly, no they wouldn’t. Even when all the work is done for them, nobody moves because nobody cares even when they say they do.

Flushing money down the toilet, or setting a very large pile of it on fire, would’ve had the same effect of loss while being less environmentally impactful.

Matrix with Sable client.

The main problem I have with RAM increasing in price is lot the RAM itself. I personally have anoigj RAM in my PC and I’m not looking to upgrade at any point in the near future.

No, my issue is how everything else becomes more expensive because of it.

Infrastructure requires two things these days: fuel and computers. And both are getting fucked over. Because of all the things that rely on this infrastructure, everything, even mundane things, will increase in price.

And when the bubble eventually pops, everyone below the ultra rich will suffer for it, another major economical crash like 2008. And of course the people responsible will get away with it.

… Toothpaste…?

And then you have people like my own mom who judges, and forms whole opinions about, people based on their astrology signs.

Even if some sort of behaviour completely contradicts their supposed astral sign, she’ll make it fit.

But I am more effecient than the cashier. Dunno how it is like where you’re from, but a cashier job is either for people who are nearly retired, or a teenager’s first job.

So, in the same footprint of three cashiers that will have 3 queues waiting around, there can be 12 self checkouts with no queues at all.

Well if only I could actually see.

The name “Eurasia” exists.
