We'll make cars so cheap only the rich can afford horses. We'll make air travel so cheap, only the rich can afford travel by ship. We'll make AR/VR so compelling only the rich can afford travel.

This makes me think of Adam Carolla's Rich Man-Poor Man. E.g. "Made love next to a fountain." "Doesn't drive himself to work." Many examples on Twitter and Reddit.

Old guy here. I can remember fighting with and complaining about horizontal scroll bars on wide html pages. I didn't realize how good I had it. Now I fight with browser based UI's that rearrange themselves to fit in whatever wi

Things I like (What?): Ctrl-Shift-V pastes into TEAMs with no formatting. Should be part of the OS. Contrary to WebEx (what we came from for meetings), joining a TEAMs meeting from both PC and phone joins you as one participant, not 2.

Agreed. I'm firmly in the boat of "expensive things own you" so I avoid owning them. I do try to take care of what I have but don't obsess over things that can and do happen. That said. I did get rid of a perfectly go

Am probably older than your Mom (an demographic/actuarial guess) and I am sorely tempted to get it. I have been team Nexus/Pixel for a decade but am miffed at the upsizing of the devices. adding 50% screen space doesn't mak
