Cave Johnson would never have let this happen.
He knows a thing or two, because he's seen a thing or two.

That's more of a failure of the phone's UI.

The only use case for a hinge phone is showing it to someone else for the first time.
To which they'll reply, "huh, I guess".

The ones complaining expected to get that $250,000 back in the first three months.

I don't know why anyone would need to spend a quarter mil
just to learn the best ways to take stuff and get away with it.

Those poor souls. Can you imagine having to do that every day?

And also, VB and FORTRAN are not "similarly" anything.

Hacked thing gives dangerous responses.

The employees take the performance review hit because of management's games,
so there will be false statements in upcoming SEC filings per the workforce.

It makes the managers look bad for having many underperformers, like it's their fault, too.
Meta workers need to form a good union.

This isn't about protecting the movie industry. He despises the movie industry.
He realized there's a river of money with the streaming services.
That's where the money is, and where it's easiest to extract from the citizenry.

They'll have foreign content flags put in the metadata, and every time that content is streamed,
a cut of the action will get deposited into Trump's slush fund.

A profitable and an easily adjustable twist of the arm for extortion and control.
If implemented, expect all media, music, tv shows, social media, to get put under this mechanism.

and anything Microsoft ends in tears.

They'll need lots of backhoe drivers.
At least for a little while.

I was working there when they came out with the Bad Axe motherboard.
Broken drivers, horrifically ugly and broken "xtreme" configuration apps, flaky overclocking.
In less than a year, they were unsupported and left to die.

The chip engineers were top notch, but sales and management was full of clueless
expense account eaters, all waiting for the 90's to return so they could cash out stock grants.

It's a good thing that Intel hired will.i.am as Director of Creative Innovation back in 2011.
The forward thinking by management is really going to pay off now, when they need him the most.

I think that the Nest lock owners didn't like it that the battery life was terrible,
so everyone had to carry a backup key anyway or risk getting locked out.
All for only $250 to $300.

I have a gen2 Nest thermostat. Unless I pull the white A/C wire every winter,
It'll die mid-winter because somehow, it can't pull enough current to charge its battery.
I didn't snake the extra power wire because it's a 100+ year old house and not worth the trouble.
Nest knew about the design flaw years ago, said they would fix it, and never did.

Last month, a software update broke the thermostat's wifi, and it won't connect anymore.
Nest says to reboot my router (yeah, ok) or get a new Nest router.
Best of all, it insists on resetting the inside heat to 74 degrees, every day, because it's "smart".
So now it's actually worse than a 1960's Honeywell round manual.
I could screw with it, but I really don't need another hobby.
F'n Google.

A lifetime of psychotherapy,
encoded on eight feet of paper tape.

Penalties through the courts? Rights laws being upheld?
How quaint.
