Kind of Hertz

What does this do to the mean time before failure for this product?

Have to believe it is magic

Should sell here in the good old US of A as nearly half of the population believes in magic and can be fooled by charlatan again and again, even at the cost of their own or their family's lives. Hydroxychloroquine anyone?

Google should...

put a few of those wind turbine in front of their PR office. Then they would not need to reduce the workload at night or on still days.

January 2018

Glad they're getting it patched so soon. It makes me feel safe.

Ready Fire Ai...

No, it's just Fire and more Fire. There is no Aim.

I believe my government not scammers

"Anyone who want's a test can get one." "One day it's like a miracle, it will disappear".

Just be grateful

Just be grateful your partner didn't hit you sooner. You must have done something wrong to make Samsung angry. Be nice to Samsung and buy another and they won't hit you for a while.

Use our code its always better

No you can't create a browser that works and is secure for even older hardware because... Apple!

Can't wait

My full colour holographic 1:1 Earth emulator needs this to avoid pixellation.

Audiophiles

can hear the difference between wires of different colour so naturally they will hear the intentional degradation leading up to product replacement. Best let customers downgrade and hype some new feature like LED resonant sound enhancement.

Air traffic

Until the pandemic we were plagued with copter noise here. No evidence of active pandemic on Mars at this time so extra care should be taken during flight operations.

I was on that flight

Eat your protein pill and put your helmet on. Still looking up...

Everything old is new again

Pandemics also make a comeback.

Devistating

In this time of crisis I need the daily distraction of evolving features, incompatibilities and random crashes.

I'm on it

The best part is they have new Memoji stickers and don't require much of a nasal swab. You never can have too many of those, whatever they are, Memojis that is.

Don't worry

Ransomware writers are taking the month off in light of COVID-19 and strict adherence to their ethical code and all...

If it doesn't fail,

there's no room for improvement and no desire to update. Failure is THE essential feature.

We don't want your kind

Things are just fine here. Trump and his Justice Department have everything under control. Nothing to to find here. Non-Russians may not in the guise of help, sabotage the perfect security system which only we have. However, if you have information on the four hundred pound hacker living in his mother's basement, call the FBI.

Putin

wouldn't interfere with his running mate Trump. You can take that to the bank, Deutsche Bank.

Sorry Dave,

I'm afraid I can't let you take that. Would you like to hear a song or have some synthetic cannabis instead?

Is my computer infected?

The brightness of my laptop screen is quite inconsistent especially in the corners, the fan kick on at random times, each key sounds a bit different when pressed and my ears ring after using it for long periods of time.

Still have a 2600

Modded to output vid. I pull it out every couple of years and marvel at how many hours I spent playing Space Invaders and other games including chess when it came out and I was young. By the way Atari Chess cheated every so often by dropping a piece on the board which wasn't there before the screen blanking. It needed the resources for drawing the screen for calculating. The the horizontal and vertical refresh had to be sent by the processor so each program loop had to take up the right number of clock cycles so it could send the signal to move the electron beam to the next line while running in 2-16K of ROM cartridge and 128 Bytes of RAM if memory serves right. I think it is time to upgrade to rpi4.

It only takes one

crap element in an IoT setup. I'm surprised state actors aren't giving this stuff away for free or requiring their use in all homes, in order to save energy or sum such.

AI with worker drones

Send the inspectors to check the AI work. Then have the AI check the inspectors and inspectors check the AI and so on. The savings will easily pay for Brexit.

WD-40

Great stuff. It contains a wax like substance which hardens over time and can only be dissolved with more WD-40.

The Security

is for state actors. Wouldn't want to make them unhappy. They might block the service.

I thought it was a hip flask...

Then I was disappointed.

User replaceable batteries

are a must. Bet they have security screws and glue all over them too.

Way Cool...

And by cool I mean Hot. Lots of energy per unit mass. What happens when opposing rotations are allowed to collide? For instance two dumbbells spinning in the same direction, think gears.

Someone has to...

Job security strikes again. Thank you Oracle!

Sad

But at least windows 10 mobile won't be alone anymore.

Fortunatly

the rich can buy their way into good health care and also benefit through their portfolios from the money saved by the algorithms. It's a win win proposition.

Famous truths...

"The more we make, the more we lose!"

For customers: "The more you spend the more you save!"

This provides the badly needed balance on which capitalism rests.

About time

Keeping those giant bios files on the server must be bankrupting them. This will free up billions for the support of more current machines, or not.

Easier

than getting genuine kit fixed. Go talk to the genius now.

The bigger problem at airports...

The staff behind the counters seem to have trouble recognizing humans trying to get their attention. When they do, frequently they don't treat them like fellow humans in any case.
