Don’t need DMs, I’ll happily post it here for everyone

You can use a vpn. There are good free ones, don’t pay for one

In most situations i agree with you, but i think when it comes to the purchase of techie things (like which computers and OS a company should use) then the opinion of techies matters. Their opinion may not matter as much as it should, but in aggregate over time it can cause large changes in purchasing decisions

I think this graph doesn’t have to move left to right, it can also move right to left. On several occasions quantum computing started to move up the “tech trigger” slope, but without any functional applications for the current technology the point slid back down to the left again.

I think the graph needs at least one more demarcated region. After “tech trigger” there needs to be “real world applications”. Without real world applications you can never progress past the tech trigger phase.

In chemistry this is the equivalent of Energy of Activation. If a reaction can’t get over the big first step, then it can’t proceed on to any secondary steps

When a company opens a facility in another country, why don’t they just higher local people to be the managers?

Big blue is a nickname for IBM, but i think you’re referring to Intel

1. Pedantic. You’re arguing that false advertising isn’t illegal. But it is.

2. As the other poster said, perpetuity isn’t what was advertised, lifetime is what was advertised. Lifetime is a common term used in legal claims. It can refer to lifetime of the person, or lifetime of the device a service is used on, or other things, but it is a specific and enforceable term.

3. See number 1.

1. Marketing promises ARE a contract. Companies aren’t allowed to advertise a thing and then not do that thing. That’s false advertising and fraud. Companies aren’t allowed to say they offer a product or service for price X and then actually charge price Y. This is well established law.

2. You either didn’t read or didn’t understand the article. Multiple times in multiple ways the company said it’s offering a lifetime price, which is different than a price offered only for a limited term. They very explicitly said “T-Mobile will never change the price you pay” and “T-Mobile One customers keep their price until THEY decide to change it. T-Mobile will never change the price you pay” etc. etc.

Boy, in 1994 this would’ve been huge!

Oh snap that’s so geeky cool!

Yeah, but it then goes on saying

“However, the dev also boasts that “the possibilities are endless” and would welcome any companies or individuals who wish to get in contact and discuss commercializing this project or something related to it.”

And that’s what I’m saying “y tho” to.

True, but not paying for maintenance sure does help the executive hit his quarterly numbers to receive a bonus

Mac is easier than Windows, sure, but not easier than a chromebook. Nothing is simpler than a Chromebook. You can do much more with a Mac, but a chromebook is much easier.

Then her situation isn’t applicable to this topic

Sounds like all she needs is a dirt cheap chromebook then

So then the only way to make it fair is for us to invest equally as much into our own green energy industries

Don’t get your hopes up, this kind of thing happens sometimes

This is almost exactly my opinion
