That miata concept sounds fun. But would it be more fun than one that has revs and gears, even though it would be way faster?

Honestly the ideal in my case might be like 2500lbs and 300hp but only like 100 miles of range to keep the battery size down. But I don't think that's gonna happen.

You are correct, but that does not absolve the companies or the government of any responsibility. It should not be "anything goes" as far as intentionally addictive designs on anything with a screen for the same reason they can't just put cocaine in Doritos. They still engineer in what they can, but with some guardrails. And even in that case the regulations here in the US leave a lot to be desired.

Yeah I bet there is absolutely DNS in space, but that didn't fit the joke, lol.

There I go getting the Narrator: It was treatment!

Haha yeah, I use outlook at work as a webpage in LibreWolf in Linux, so even with open stuff on my local hardware I can definitely still have outlook issues.

That's impossible. They don't even have that in space.

I'm not sure what your use cases and performance requirements are, but Windows works great in a VM.

I rarely use it, but I happened to fire it up today and after updating it I got a full screen ad to start backing up my computer to their shit.

It's well worth the minimum amount of extra typing and reading to say "installing from outside the Play Store" to push back against the idea of the locked down CorpoPhone being the default... or the norm... or the legal requirement.

It's a small push back commensurate with the small amount of effort, but it's a subject worthy of the attention.

I reckon that means it is not actually your own device.

And what you describe is probably the best case scenario, that the well meaning artist misses it in a rush.

In the real world much of the time I bet the artist is well aware and frustrated because the game already shipped (with no input from them or their boss) to make it by the end of the quarter and now the press assets all have some bland slop BS front and center instead of the real version staring back from their own monitor.

They are like REALLY good with computers too. The last one also did this cute hiss when a Tesla would drive past.
