I tried it for python but the pip panel almost immediately soured me on it. Whenever I tried typing something in it, it would lock up the whole program for minutes at a time - absolutely atrocious.

The Amazon Basics items I've seen could be described as "the minimum acceptable". It's better than the typical Chinese junk, but anyone upmarket shouldn't have to worry.

"Go hang yourself" and "devil" are exclusively British English as far as I know as an American. "Go to hell" is certainly also an American swear though.

That's not true at all, if you're including their core PC game business. The vast majority of games they sell come with DRM. Only the Indie bundles are marketed DRM free, and there's only a few of those a year versus many doz

Google has nothing to do with it. Nest is a subsidiary of Alphabet, and even then the responsibility is 100% with Nest and not Alphabet. Tony Fadell comes from an Apple pedigree, if we're blaming one of the two.

There's as many motivations for cheating as there are for anything, though they do tend to fall in broad categories. Some enjoy the thrill of seeing how much they can get away with, some just want to win. Some like to feel smarter than

Looks pretty conspicuous to me, and also extremely unlikely to be used for sustained surveillance of a person. Also sounds likely to be discontinued when funding runs out. A load of hot air, in other words.
