It was never about releasing a functional product, it was always about saying what ever the people they answer to wanted to hear.

In this case, telling shareholders they released an AI feature, because the investors and share holders want AI to be a thing.

Could interpret it as meaning the original form of primus civis ( princeps instead of primus depending on context, with civis pronounced something like kay-wis) “first citizen” referring to a sort of “first among equals”. Could also refer to “primus senatus”

This was then shortened to just princeps, from which we derive our term “princess” and “prince”, which was historicaly a general term for a ruler. This is why a lot of places are called “Principalities”.

The term’s usage to refer to “the one who will inherit the throne” comes from the English tradition of naming the Heir to the throne as the “prince of whales”, sort of a symbolic steppingstone before they take on the role of king. This is an aberration historically though.

Companies will get there eventually. Everyone thought IBM machines were irreplaceable until they weren’t.

Definitely, just to prevent it from being normalized. Just like crypto, flying cars, psychics, MLM businesses, this shit will fade in to the into the domain of low skill grifters.

I remember so many examples of windows doing stuff like this.

Specifically the most annoying I ever ran in to was Microsoft office click to run, like, as far as I understood it, it was a background service to update Microsoft office, it always ran in the background and would routinely eat up system resources, not a ton but way more than something like that should have been. It kept ignoring my instruction to not start on system start up, and kept getting reinstalling when I resorted to just ripping it out.

Now why, you may be wondering would I want to get rid of a program meant to keep office up to date? BECAUSE, I didn’t use office, I didn’t have a license even, I had uninstalled it in fact, but for some reason click to run was still there like a weed. So many other annoyances with attempting to remove other programs I didn’t want or need but windows would just keep reinstalling.

Anyways, that’s why I replaced windows as the OS on my computer.

And going to server farms and just ripping out random cables until something visibly fails. Then assuming that any cables pulled out that didn’t cause an immediate failure were not important.

I mean, maybe someone could have told him what everything did, but you know, they got fired because they refused to sacrifice their work life balance.

2038, Y2K’s cooler sibling.

And more importantly It reveals his character in a way that some of his die hard supporters might actually care about.

He’s been shedding fans for a long time now, but way slower than he’s been going off the rails, because the things he’s done have rarely been directly contradictory to the image his fans have of him. Sure taken as a whole they are, but individual actions can be written off as haters using cult logic.

This though, this is… just so pathetic… so blatantly approval seeking and manipulative tendencies.

Other things beyond that can also be cheating. That is one kind of cheating but other things can be cheating as well.

I can second the framework laptops. I got the 16 inch one about 9 months ago. I got it pretty bare bones (one stick of 16gig ram , no GPU, ect) and have been slowly buying parts as I have money for it. Got 32 gigs of ram and the dedicated GPU now.

Been running Linux mint on it since day one, had no issues with it at all, runs like butter, I even got the finger print scanner on the power button to work with a couple commands in the terminal.

The 13 inch doesn’t have a dedicated GPU, but the 16 inch has a slot for one. They’re only on the first gen for the 16 inch, but they’ve had 3 or 4 the 13 inch, and so far people have been able to swap in the new components in to the old frames, so it seems likely that trend will continue with the 16.

The greatest bane are huge “off road” vehicles that never leave a suburb or city and just waste space there. This is like the opposite of that, it’s a small car that actually is used off road.
