I believe that HP bought PalmOS, not Palm. In other words, HP bought the rights to the PalmOS operating system that became WebOS. The Palm that created the hardware was passed around, but who knows where it ended up.
Sure, the printers WORKED (maybe they were just powered on, or printed a self-test page), but there are other factors. Were they USB or Parallel? Modern PCs might not even have a parallel port. Also, were the ink cartridges still available for sale from retail outlets (and I mean *NOT* refillers). Finally, and most importantly, were there drivers available for modern operating systems? Many inkjet printers use more than just a windows "driver" to operate. Many require an executable to monitor the level of the ink in the tank, print cleaning page, etc. A lot of those are pretty old and just weren't written to operate on anything newer than Windows XP.
Now, would you buy a perfectly functioning printer that you can't connect to your PC, can't get replacement cartridges for, and are unable to use on Windows 10?
But Whirlpool, Bissell, and other makers of Home Appliances are not necessarily "Electronics Companies". Sure, they make things with electronics IN them, but a washing machine is more than just a circuit board.
Try asking the following companies about their warranties: Dell Toshiba Samsung Apple Intel Vizio TCL JVC
These temperature and pulse monitors will have to be battery powered. Now the Wal-Mart employees have to plug in the regular shopping cars as well as the scooters for the disabled. Also, how long do you suppose these batteries last going from a 65 degree store to -20 degree parking lot (for hours) during the winter?
Sure, they patent it, but I don't think they will IMPLEMENT it.
It all relies on a single point of failure: the time. If the PC loses its connection to the NTP server, and the time drifts, then the prosecutor's case falls apart. You would still need to have a really good motive in order to convict a 90 year old of murder.
I looked at the Alexa enabled microwave. It's cheap (under $100), but only 700Watts. "Alexa, reheat my coffee". "Your coffee will be hot in 12 minutes". It's faster to just reheat it on the stove yourself.
- While the driver is delivering a DIFFERENT package, a local thug sneaks into the truck and takes the dummy package. The driver is innocent, but now he will get fired for being a victim.
- The package falls out of the truck while in transit. Potholes are a bitch!
- The driver delivers the dummy package, but before the recipient gets to it, it is stolen by a local thief. The driver is innocent, but gets fired because of circumstance.
I volunteer at a non-profit that recycles and repurposes electronics and computers. Your unneeded VGA cable is a great help for us. Sometimes we get monitors with NO cables, and we can make use of your VGA cable. Even if we cannot, we can recycle it for it's base components (Copper). If you decide not to donate your cables to a recycler, they can often be given to friends and family members who can make use of them. There is really no need to just throw it in the trash.

It will be like owning an Apple device.

Pac-Man might no longer be homicidal, but he still has a severe eating disorder.

Good luck rendering HTML5.
Probably to your fonts folder...
You will save money on pencil lead!
If that were true, then how do speed reading systems claim to increase your comprehension?

I once flipped-off a BING mapping car.

Those aren't the only choices:

Well, to be fair, it *IS* America On-Line, not England On-Line...
If it was gun free, how did he get a gun in there? Because, of course, guns don't just magically disintegrate when entering a "gun free zone."
They should have used an Aperture Science Emancipation Grill.
Why would you need Trumpet Winsock? Windows 95 already has a TCP/IP stack, and Dial-up networking support.
Do you know the difference between DOTA and DATA?
Neither does BeauHD.
You pass butter.
...Then my 3d printer would be called a smelter.
