They basically don't accept liability.

He's fucked by his own stupidity. _NEVER_ blindly trust an AI to do your work for you.

...Microsoft doing everything in its power to make sure it remains incompatible with the rest of the world.

Who would have thought?

Was a new technology invented to observe this?
Can we learn anything about our own solar system from this? If yes, what? Does this translate to any potential discoveries on our own planet?

This means sanctions should be placed on them by the entire world. The US does the same to Chinese companies which help the Chinese military, so why shouldn't it happen to US companies who help the US military?

After all, anger the US and your country gets bombed into the stone age.

We're talking about the EU here, not the USA. Huge difference.

I'm curious how well Ladybird will turn out to be. It might be a good alternative to all those other browsers, which can safely be called bloatware at this point.

We have the happy people over here. If I need to choose between happiness and money, I'll take happiness any day.

Some countries actually take care of their people. What is it you say? Most of those are in Europe? Gosh.

Besides, the US empire is showing its cracks and its current government is only making things worse. Where are those factories located? Riiiiight. In CHINA. Those factories are things that actually matter. The US economy is mostly made of paper.

How are US foreign relations currently? Ooohhh... not good, you say? I wonder what the current USD value is because of your clown in chief... Not good, I take it.

When I went to school I:
- Did not have a smartphone
- Had a scientific calculator
- Did not have a GPS. My parents actually didn't pick me up from school. I walked home, others cycled home. I was perfectly able to make it without any "smart" tools.
- Did not have a MP3 player or walkman - I didn't need to be distracted from my own thoughts. As a result I had some actual friends.

Kids these days are all addicted to their smartphone and being connected 24/7. This is a bad thing. A really bad thing.

Parents don't realize what harm they're doing by giving their kids a smartphone too early. The kid needs to grow and play - the smartphones rip that right out of them.

I think we ought to figure out whether these things have a mind and are conscious. This could have dire implications for the future of this product. It's innovative, yes. But can we conscienably use these for our own purposes? What if they *are* conscious? Then what?

Much like a driver's license. There could be variations of it, where an A-license would allow you the bare minimum (banking, whatsapp, google maps, email access, etc.). A B-license could allow for specialist forums and a C-license could allow for actual social media. Finally a D-license allows everything.

Then there'd be tests in order to see whether you'd be suited to be allowed on the internet. Those with shit for brains would only get an A-license, where actually intelligent people could get a B-, C-, or D-license.

It's my guess this would benefit public discourse a lot. Once you are found to be problematic somewhere, your license gets lowered or even revoked.

Just take a look around on social media to see the kind of idiocy and junk people post. That would be reduced by a lot with such a license system. Unfortunately, not everybody is able to handle internet access and some people should just be kept from even gaining access to the internet.

Yes, I realize this is a wildly unpopular opinion, but I guess it would be for the better.

Actually...

There are financial applications specifically designed with mobile in mind.
Also Google drive features a nice office environment which works flawlessly on mobile (it functions really well on mobile). MS Office is also available on mobile. Now, I wouldn't do a spreadsheet on a phone (tablet is a different story), but a text document or a presentation is perfectly doable.

Things I wouldn't do on mobile is extensive graphics/audio work, movie editing, 3D modelling, coding, web design, etc. However, I wouldn't be amazed if the standard corporate desktop computer would be replaced by Android tablets eventually (they're cheaper than iPads). All your average corporate drone needs is an office suite and some specialist tools for their specific job requirements. None of these require the horsepower of a desktop.

A tablet has several advantages over a desktop. You can put it in a safe place when it's not in use, it's not as power hungry as a desktop, and people can take it with them - into a meeting, for example, or in talks with a client. Even a laptop is a lot clumsier than a tablet.

Most desktop gamers are men. Women game just as hard, but rather on their phones.

You forgot about the people who simply don't care Windows 10 is not supported anymore and will keep on using that version.

Some people don't need that much screen real estate. On top of that, a lot of apps designed for the smartphone are... well... designed with the smartphone in mind and have efficient user interfaces designed for the small screen.

Then there are those who are perfectly happy doing office work on a tablet. Still a small screen, but bigger than a smartphone. The nice thing of a tablet is, like a smartphone, you can easily take it with you, and when not needed it easily disappears in a drawer. On top of that, there often are keyboards available which also happen to provide a nice sleeve for your tablet.

Mobile devices are finally starting to become a feasible alternative for the desktop for a lot of people, not all. There are use cases in which the desktop just shines, not just by power, but also by UI for use cases where mobile is just horrible. Some such as coding, audio stuff, 3D modelling, etc.

That being said, mobile devices are becoming more and more powerful, so I wouldn't automatically go to a desktop for raw computation power, unless I REALLY need it. These days there's quite a lot you can achieve with mobile devices. Even Adobe is releasing software for mobile devices.

Yeah, sorry. Forgot to type the word "also". My error.
