It’s literally not friction. The average user has no clue how to take a screenshot. They all know how to take a picture with their phone. It’s a solution searching for a problem it can’t solve. Friction implies you’re stopping a user from

But it’s literally the dumbest feature ever. There’s absolutely nothing preventing a user from pulling out their phone and taking a picture of any slide they want. Or having a camera recording the whole session out of view of their webcam.

So ignore Detroit, pick a city that based their economy on literally any manufacturing industry that up and left. What was the replacement work that maintained middle class families at the same numbers?

The ultimate endgame is either a significant reduction in global population, or UBI. You can’t just keep automating every non-knowledge job away and just hope people find something else to do. All those jobs in Detroit that went away were

I feel like a broken record, but it makes perfect sense if you ask yourself, what would Putin want? Putin would love the US government destroying large portions of its economy for no discernible gain. I think Putin probably encouraged Tru

Fuzzy is a feature, not a flaw. It allows the president to unilaterally pick winner and losers. Other manufacturers can do all sorts of things to try to be compliant, but ultimately the only way to be in compliance is to bend the knee. They

We can agree to disagree. Your own link states that Sun approached NetApp about patents 18 months prior to the lawsuit being filed (to be clear that was Storagetek before Sun acquired them): >The suit was filed in September 2007, in Texa

While I was disappointed that NetApp sued, the ZFS team literally referenced NetApp and WAFL multiple times in their presenations IIRC. They were kind of begging to be sued. Also, according to NetApp, "Sun started it". https:

Controlling your charging. You shouldn’t be charging more than 80% for daily driving unless you want to destroy your battery. You will almost assuredly also want to be able to precondition if you live in a cold climate.
