Id imagine it doesn’t have to really move fast, just has to sit in the right spot and wait for our orbit around the sun to smash us into it?

I look forward to nvidia being knocked down a peg or two(hundred) and maybe making graphics card prices reasonable again.
Vimes Boots Theory.
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes ‘Boots’ theory of socioeconomic unfairness.
At least 6 is the standard now for IT in general.
I’m allergic to dogs and don’t drink, bad recruiter, shoo! Shoo! spray bottle noises
True, though I hope we’ll see a few variations of Killdozer crop up before the end.
Of all the Dystopias, I think we’re closest to Elysium at the moment.
Ew. I’m not entering account credentials on anything I don’t own (ie, at work to see a tutorial on something I need to learn).
(Or let other companies polish up a feature/concept for a few years, slap a coat of Space Gray on it, and release it as a revolutionary “new” feature for apple)
Any (enterprise grade) equipment not capable of 6 that is still in use is a ticking time bomb.

Meanwhile, in the US, the government paid ISPs for fiber to be ran and they just pocketed it instead.
Now we’ve got smaller companies running fiber and charging less for synchronous gigabit than you’d pay for copper 500mb down 5mb up, and ISPs are panicking a bit.
All the fiber maps have big empty zones where apartment complexes are, sadly.
Artists for furry porn aren’t generally paying for 100+ enterprise licenses. But then, people doing more questionable stuff probably aren’t paying at all so it still doesn’t make sense.
Photoshop != deepfake porn. Although it might get used to touch up some images for realism.
Which isn’t where the money is in NSFW digital art.
Tell me you don’t want money from NSFW artists without telling me.
Plus it’s fucking microsoft.
I mean they do have one good thing going for them: you can separate the art from the more controversial artists, because you know for sure the artist isn’t getting a damn thing from spotify
Oh? It’s not a bastardization of Skype for Business (which in turn was a bastardization of Lync) anymore?

The most horrifying possible outcome of a World War is, arguably, there being a definitive “winner”.
