You're just dabbling in the same High-finance bullshit as the shorters.
Ford marketplace- big Tesla marketplace- tiny
Ford goes out of business- hundreds of thousands unemployed. Tesla goes out of business- Panasonic puts their equipment in shipping containers and hauls it to China.
If Apple was the only company making apps for their iGadgets, you might have a point. However, they step in between the people who buy their hardware and third parties they would like to get software from. They prevent them from doing business with whomever they would like to buy software to run on it.
I can see where it would be extremely insulting to be accused of being one of the drone people in that commercial. However, the shoe fits, to a certain extent.
Deal with it. It grows tiresome watching the Apple-zealot song and dance. Until Apple gave up on producing a real and modern operating system and just let NeXT take them over, Mac OS was a running joke to non koolaide drinkers, i.e. the kind of 'the rest of us' who hang out on/. .
Also Florida isn't much good for anhything else. A launch misfires and flames into a nearby city? Just old people, which actually lowers the Social Security burden.
I played Elder Scrolls Online last night for the first time in awhile. A somewhat sinister seeming NPC was hanging out in town who I approached. I discovered that there was a Loot Box I could open. Fine, I did.
Then he wanted me to buy more of them. And vanished when turned him down.
I'm sure I'll encounter him again.
But it's back to non-premium Albion Online for me, because It's relaxing to just grind sometimes.
I, too weep for what slashdot has become. Mere non logged on cowards take on signed-in people and challange them like an A.C. has an opinion of substance. I don't necessarily agree with the GP commenter, but anonymous snipers like the above just turn this site into a crapflood.
I have never wanted to log onto facebook and 'just hang out.' I have an account and log onto it a few times a year for family stuff, but it has never been something I compulsively engage in.
I know that I am not alone, nor that unusual. I just don't care about Facebook.
I can't imagine using a mobile device for financial transactions. I recently did, however, use a website to order more paper checks to pay bills with.
I have plenty of 'accounts' and online relationships with non-financial organisations. I have zero interest in establishing motre passwords, particularly with organisations I pay money to. The mortgage, gas and electrical bills are paid with a stamp.
I have a nephew who has become a rather successful developer. He happens to be of the 'millinneal' generation. He is sort of an exception to the rule, but isn't that always so?
And people from all over have accomplishments. Most people born in what might be considered 'hot spots' on the right or left coast are just the same blah average people. Statistics takes care of that. So there's no need to scramble to somewhere that it's more expensive to live to squirt out your kid.
I find C programmers in embedded work who don't understand that they are responsible for everything coming up out of the reset vector. They assume timers are initiated, that interrupt vectors are pre-defined, and that they can just coast along at an application level. That's just the consequence of too much programming on top of an operating system, I guess.
One of the consequences of a bridge falling down can be debris in the river that blocks barge traffic. That does not imply that the bridge voluntarily fell down.
Couldn't there be mobile apps we would run on our phones that relied on Google Maps for navigation but shared our travel experiences to Open Street Map. I wouldn't mind running an app like that for awhile.
Slashdot Mirror
You are attributing way more than you are entitled to Tesla.
I mean, wtf? You really think the only reason EVs have tajeen off is because of Musk's little venture???
Give human enterprise a little more credit. Stop being one of Elon's ninnies.

Tucker was at war with FordGM....

If you bought a Sony DVD player, Sony can't prevent other companies from producing DVD disks, that you can play on it.
Yet you post a response.
The Apple '1984' ad was pretty condescending.

I am already 'wasting a stamp' as some of the envelopes even preach at me on the very spot on the envelope where I stick a stamp each month.
I like having slightly more control over the bill paying process. I know it's a slight amount.

Spellchecker? You let that spyware upload your words to Big G?e

That sounds pretty awkward, even a handicap. Definitely more disabling than cases 1 or 2.
Pretty much never. I have not seen it on the news.
You're projecting, but since you've done it anonymously, we sadly can't help you.
By far the worst is the hamburger lady
PayPal is owned by eBay.

Somebody copulated with Facebook's spouse, which Facebook is aware of and has done nothing about?

If you seldom use the su command, because you generally run your computer as root, does that make you a hack?
Not literally.
