That's what I thought too. Maybe this could be mitigated if your equal parts mass and anti-mass were evenly distributed throughout every material in the ship.
One in every eight business laptops and desktops worldwide still run Windows XP, which was introduced in 2001.
My car still uses a steering wheel and pedals, which were introduced in the 1800's. It would seem to me that RETRAINING all your workers to learn a new OS every 5-7 years would be much more expensive in terms of productivity than just leaving things alone.
It's an elderly care facility. The patients are ALWAYS there, and they ALWAYS need care. How do you "get behind"? It's not like they have a quota to assemble car transmissions.
It's true. The Google Home device doesn't know who is saying the activation phrase. Anyone within ear (microphone) shot can trigger it. Therefore, Google needs to monitor the brain waves of all users in the room to determine if the activation was intentional or not.
Old windows is blocked from receiving updates because old windows is old. (See Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista)
But someone *DID* notice that a user ID was being used when that person was not on site. It looks like all the other failures that you list above are failures of the guards, but the IT department actually did their job.
A friend of mine has Google Home, uses the shopping list (as it was BEFORE the downgrade) and he is visually impaired. He often complains that technology companies CHANGE THINGS AROUND. This is not a nice thing to do to the visually impaired. People RELY on consistency with the programs (and operating systems) that they use on a daily basis.
The airline was offered $400 for each volunteer to give up their seat. After there were no takers, they upped it to $800. I assume they mean $800 + a ticket refund. There are regulations in place that increase the dollar value the longer the passenger has to wait for another flight. But at that point, I have to ask, "Couldn't the airline just send the employees to the destination using ANY OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION for that much money?"
I worked for a company 20 years ago that had a Windows program written in VISUAL COBOL. It was terrible. It crashed all the time. When it worked, it was slow. We don't need more COBOL programs, but I hardly think that Python is the answer.

Way to channel Michael Richards from UHF!
I hope it's a concurrent upgrade to IPv6...
I would be interested to see what kind of failure modes there are for this new battery technology.
I really need to go to the cinema more often. I have only seen the first three...
The best part about that movie is Arsenio Hall getting tortured by everything in his apartment.

If it's "rights sitting" that you're interested in, try "Rendezvous with Rama". Thank Morgan Freeman for that.
Funny. The first VHS movie I bought was SPACEBALLS. I'm not saying it's my FAVORITE... Just first.

Every geek knows that a Star Trek Tricorder measures Geological, Meteorological, and Biological parameters. These are most useful on away missions.
I had no idea that Pocky was made from potatoes.
Is it FriendELEC, or FriendlyELEC? You owe it to the manufacturer to, for God's sake, AT LEAST GET THEIR NAME RIGHT!
Hey, how about a screenshot of what it looks like before I try it?

Stupid Criminals! They could have just used a Rasperry Pi Zero.

Celebrate the birth of Canada with a cheat code from a Japanese company. Yep, sounds like stupid gamers to me.
In fact, "empty seats" saves the airline money. Less weight to carry means less fuel consumed.
The flight was delayed by 3 hours. By the time the employees got to the destination, there STILL wasn't any time for uninterrupted rest.

I was sure Microsoft was getting into the shipping business.
