Lucas is an awful writer. The OT succeeded because he had collaborators willing to tell him as much. The prequels sucked because he was put on a pedestal.

Will anyone visiting know the difference?

A cabinet appointment.

But it's no different than appointing someone to the agency to do that. Which we all knew he would do anyway. Elon's meme "agency" doesn't make any difference.

Cabinet members can't dissolve entire agencies. Only congress can.

Yup, wide use creates a lock-in effect. If your software is used by everyone, paid or otherwise, it's the standard and you will never run out of paid users. This is why CAD companies offer free tiers and why student subscriptions are always heavily discounted.

I forgot about that brief interlude. I remember it being sad when Google gutted them and sold the brand.

I have not put myself in a position to be forced to watch ads in a very long time. Even when I had normal TV service I was recording shows to a computer that would identify the commercials to automatically skip them when I watched a show. But I guess I'm not anywhere near normal in that regard.

Motorola doesn't make cell phones at all. Lenovo makes cell phones under the Moto brand they purchased when Motorola left that part of the industry.

 

A conversation with Ali Breland about the long-simmering ideas animating Silicon Valley’s rightward turn.

 

Before the pandemic there were a few homeassistant/smart home YouTubers on the floor of CES every day putting videos out about the new devices they saw throughout the day. I haven't seen any of them doing that since the pandemic.

Anyone know of one that is still doing that or the best place to get summaries of new devices from CES with a smart home focus?
