At this point he’s just a rich douchebag and has very little to do with tech. He has not made one smart business move recently let alone a smart tech move.

I want more functionality and better battery life. And guess what, thinner doesn’t help with any of those.

Or run your own recursive DNS which can be done in a docker container. Most people I know sailing the seven seas are quite adept at technology. Well most people I know are in IT in the first place so that likely doesn’t mean much.

Good.

My ex-MIL worked for Wells Fargo and opened an account for me to help meet her quota. Then I started getting overdraft fees because there was no money in the account to pay the monthly fees for the account I didn’t want or use. I had her close it. So yeah the whole company was kinda duplicitous.

Just because I’m not sitting at a keyboard doesn’t mean my brain isn’t working on the problem. I’ve had epiphanies taking a shit before. I’m a systems architect so not really a code monkey but I solved a DNS/networking issue the other day doing dishes. No idea why it hit me then but then again I have ADHD and my brain is fucking weird.

I’d be ok with just “X is about to start hiding.”

Well they could have went with the Canadian version and called it Enhanced Hardware Intelligence or Eh-I for short

Apple is not blameless but they are a shit-ton better than Microsoft. I have to have M$ for a few work apps but I’m primarily MacOS for desktop and Linux for everything server-side. I avoid M$ as much as possible.

That’s like 24x more….

How does this affect browsers like Brave?

But I have to pee really bad HAL!!!

So Windows is trying to become Facebook?

Dumb phones don’t have all the gooey “track everything we do” goodness in the middle so I doubt it.

You don’t mix technology and YOUR nudity 😉

“This should not have happened.”

Duh, ya think?

Google Sales Engineer: oh I see you didn’t purchase the “Do not randomly nuke my cloud” option… well there’s the problem.

Exactly. I really hate when people use Discord for stuff like this.

I never understood the move to synchronous communication for asynchronous questions. The ephemeral nature of discord is really a PITA. It’s like using IRC for a FAQ.

Or host your own speedtest like openspeedtest or libre speed. That’s what I do.

I can definitely see your point. Celebrities are the center of attention and can influence people. But the two you mentioned, well three actually, are entertainers first and foremost. They had a skillset that was interesting to watch and people would pay to do so. So it gets back to the definition of “influencer”… it’s always the nuance of definition isn’t it 😀

So I guess my definition would include some no talent YouTube or Instagram C-rated “celebrity” that is essentially famous for being famous. They expect special treatment and recognition when it isn’t deserved or warranted. They are often pretentious and obnoxious. When I think of “influencer” this is the image in my mind.
