Huawei: Fuck everything, we’re doing five folds.

It should have been.

Yet somehow still end up as a Skyrim stealth archer.

The way I see it, a box of drives still needs something to connect it to your network.

And that something that can only do a basic connection costs only a little less than something that can run a bunch of other stuff too.

You can see why it all gets bundled together.

I can see why it was popular with hikers.

Never know when you might need to start a fire to keep warm.

Sun reflecting off an upstairs window

When I was doing work experience in around 1995, I did mine at a local computer firm. A few days in, the doorbell rang. I looked over at the security camera. It was four lads in balaclavas.

I thought we were going to get robbed. The boss opened the door, put his hand over the camera, and returned a few seconds later with his hands full of SIMMs. Which he dropped on the table in front of me.

“Test these will you” he said, and that was it. That’s what memory theft was like. A bunch of lads breaking into offices, nicking the RAM from the PCs, and selling it local computer shops who would sell it right back to the offices they stole it from.

Not one guy having an expensive package stolen at random.

But I can still get in that back window for free, right?

No shit, pudding-man. You were never even supposed to be VP. You were there to take the blame when he didn’t win.

That would be scalpees.

I went into Netflix recently to find the same thing. Hardly anything visible on screen, just a handful of massive buttons.

You can see maybe two movies to the right of the main one, and the top half of the row below.

I assume this is just to hide the fact that there’s precious little worth watching on it.

I got around that by being a bad pirate. If I’ve watched it, chances are I’m nuking it in a few days from my download drive to make room for something else.

A PS5 currently costs less than £300. I can’t even get 32GB of RAM for that, let alone a GPU or any of the other parts.

PC gaming is dead for now. The only affordable way is Steam Decks and similar.

The problem with the two party system, is the only thing they’ll always agree on is that it should remain a two party system.

We had the same issue in the UK. We had the choice of something else and it was dismissed as “too complicated” and “too expensive”.

So instead most of us have their votes thrown out locally, and then most of the rest have them thrown out nationally.

Might encourage them to build that wall after all.

Like a consent button will stop them doing it anyway. Consent is something for little people. They don’t believe in it.

“Opinion is divided on the subject. All the other captains say it is. I say it isn’t.”

You don’t even need AI. Just pay staff less and charge customers more, and give the stolen money to shareholders. Ta-da! That’s the CEO’s job done.

Resigning is for people who can feel shame.

So are closed source developers.
