Nobody works for the sake of work -- people strive to create value, which helps pay our salaries and feed our families.
I'd love to work on my little projects all day long, but nobody's going to pay me for that - at least not enough and not long enough to earn a living from it.
That must explain the premature removal of all USB 3.0 type A ports iMac pro still has them. But it's not premature at all, things are rapidly moving to USB-C and I say good riddance to a connector you have to try five times before it plugs in right. People will never move if you don't nudge them.
I'm not against USB-C, I'm against removing USB 3.0 type A prematurely. You can say what you want about USB-C but it's still a mess knowing what protocols are supported even if your cable does fit in the socket. It also requires the connections to the CPU, limiting the number of USB-C ports you can add to a computer depending on the CPU. Computers that cannot support three or four USB-C ports could at least have two USB-C ports and two USB 3.0 ports.
the soldering of RAM on motherboards Only on laptops.
Nope. RAM is also soldered on the motherboard in the Mac mini and in the 21" iMac. The 21" iMac does have 8GB on-board and can be upgraded later but it requires disassembling the computer.
the lack of decent Mac mini and Macbook Air updates. Macbook Pro is thin enough is has essentially replaced the Air.
MacBook Air is now the entry-level Apple laptop, it has nothing to do with being thin anymore. Tim Cook said Apple wasn't making hardware for the rich but they keep dropping the low-end options and keep increasing their prices by adding expensive gimmicks like that stupid touch bar.

Nope, that's just Amazon already knowing you had smart speakers up your ass and decided that a smaller dildo would be needed because a lot of room was already taken.
By a strange coincidence “None at all” is exactly how much suspicion the ape-descendant DontBeAMoran had that one of his closest friends was not descended from an ape, but was, in fact, from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse. DontBeAMoran’s failure to suspect this reflects the care with which his friend blended himself into human society - after a fairly shaky start. When he first arrived fifteen years ago, the minimal research he had done had suggested to him that the name ‘Ford Prefect’ would be nicely inconspicuous. He will enter our story in thirty-five seconds and say “Hello, DontBeAMoran.” The ape-descendant will greet him in return, but in deference to a million years of evolution, he will not attempt to pick fleas off him; Earthmen are not proud of their ancestors and never invite them round to dinner.

How about everyone carries their own damn stuff instead?
2030 does seems quite far ahead for something like this. Two years should be more than enough for everyone to adjust, they should have said 2020.
How about "bring your own drinking container and ustensils"?
It seemed weird to bring my own grocery bags when we started doing it, but now it's part of the daily life.
I like strawberries.
You blame his phone for using standard unicode characters that are unsupported by Slashdot?

Maybe they're measuring the success by the size of the store.

Oh wait, no it doesn't.
No, they're saying companies will have to pay 10% less pay checks, increase productivity and increase profits. Costs will stay the same at purchase.
A game about spreading miss information? Where do I sign up?
I was about to write something a lot less subtle.
Nope, that's just Amazon already knowing you had smart speakers up your ass and decided that a smaller dildo would be needed because a lot of room was already taken.
Uncle Sam? I thought Bob was his uncle?
None at all.

If you ask me, it's a pretty neat idea, much better than a digital watch.

I did not calculate that 30.72 number, I took it out of the headline thinking it was supposed to say 30.72 TiB instead of 30.72 TB.
I was not aware that Canada had been annexed by Russia. We do share similar seasons (cold, less cold and colder) but other than that...
So, time is going backwards?
Time to sell all my Bitcoins right now and buy them at 8 cents each in 2010!
Virtual +1 Funny.
In other words, they're fucked.
32 x 1TB NAND flash = 32TB or 30.72TiB.
But what if he wants to call his Faraday cage something else than "a day"?
I trust the media but I do not trust the people working in it nor the people they interview.
