In recent years, most of their profits have come from their cloud products, and it seems every week is another problem from a change they have pushed. Another dodgy patch. They just seem to have lost their way, then went all in and doubled down on AI… I wouldn’t want any money invested in them

    I feel the specs are fine for the use case that the device is aimed at (media consumption, some office usage).. you know, the things that a huge chunk of the population use a device for.. if that doesn’t suit, there are more powerful options.

    I don’t think it is productive arguing that an ultra cheap/low end device isn’t powerful enough, or specced high enough for activities/use cases that it wasn’t designed for.

    Cool, would make an entertaining tv show if it was a mobile crusher… get the kids and the parents, record their crying and excuses, make them watch the crush.. sorta like the Highway Patrol shows

    ICE providing security for American politicians in another country? Don’t they have a dedicated security group called the Secret service or something like that?

    Does Elon lose any sleep over his products killing people.. I wonder how many deaths are attributed to Tesla self driving, electric door handles not opening in a crash etc?

    I was having this conversation with my daughter and thought it was an interesting topic.

    If an EMP or solar flare took out everything electronic in the whole world (permanently), how long do you think it would take for you to die, given your current location and circumstances.

    I believe my daughter thinks we would live a lot longer than I do, but she is thinking about how long she can live without the internet while I am thinking the world will quickly descend into anarchy.

    With no traditional forms of transport, so supplies would dry up, limited resources, health etc, law and order would be a challenge as things become more desperate.

    I think I would live for about 3 months. I would try to get the family somewhere safe and remote and come back later, but I think most people would have the same idea.
