Fun fact: Amazon actually have you this option with the original Kindle. They sold two different versions where the only difference was that the cheaper one would show ads.

I have yet to find one that isn't lacking basic features like being about to put the device to sleep.

The old one and the new one are both available as a web site and a desktop app.

That's a pretty obscure reference, at least in English. For those wondering, I found this in a bibliography of Stanisław Lem:

Bomba megabitowa (The Megabit Bomb, 1999) – Collection of essays about the potential downside of technology, including terrorism and artificial intelligence.

The real mistake was going in Fox News in the first place. Nobody should do an interview on Fox News ever for any reason.

I've worked in that area. It was broken back in the 90s and I doubt the crusty old parts of the system have gotten any better. I was tasked with writing a more modern wrapper for part of the legacy system, and when I asked for documentation I was told they had literally nothing to give me.

I was just an intern at the time so maybe someone with more clout could have gotten sometime to dig in a forgotten closet for old technical docs, but it still strikes me as a very bad sign when technical docs for a system every agent uses all day every day aren't immediately available on the company's intranet.
