That already exists. Any half decent A/V receiver can do this.

If they cared about handling of PII they should require ISO 27701

My Miele was €1500, and they are known to be super reliable. They engineer for at least a 20 year life span.

Performance is good, but not great, and, again, is trounced by most of its equivalents, even the Surface Book.

Sure, you can find an equivalent priced laptop that will beat the MBPro at one metric, but it’ll fall short on others. It’s faster but it has a cheap case , crappy trackpad, shit screen or terrible battery life, etc.

There are very few laptops out there that are as good in every metric as a MBPro. It is simply the best total package.

Locking me in to what and how? It’s a laptop, a tool, not a religion. I don’t give a fuck about any of that shit as long as the OS gets out of the way, stuff just works and I can get on with my job.

More like €4400 and it’s used heavily for 8+ hours a day as a development machine. It’s 4 years old by now (M1 Max, 64GB) and it still handles everything I can throw at it without breaking a sweat.

Cheap laptops are nothing but trouble, in the end it’ll cost you more in replacements and lost productivity.

MacBooks are frikkin amazing though. There is nothing in the PC world that even comes close.

Why would you buy this garbage?

That’s fucking insane.

Here, if you’re sick you get sick leave. There is no real limit other than after 2 years of illness you basically go on disability instead of sick leave.

What if your illness takes longer than the amount of days you have, you are just expected to show up at the office in your hospital bed?

How does that even work? How can you transfer sick days? It’s not like you have a fixed amount of days you are allowed to be sick, right… right?

Large scale space battles

Try frying them in bacon grease.

The famous McDonalds quartertonner.

Built into iOS. It’s called “Find my Friends”. You can (temporarily) share your location with other iOS users. For example, if you’re going to a festival with friends you can set it to share locations for the duration of the event so you can always see where they are. You an also choose to permanently share your location with family members.

You can’t place ads next to a CSV file.

That’s how companies get away with shit like this: diffusion of responsibility.

No one made a single decision to let seniors die. Instead there is a whole bunch of small decisions, from the top down, that each on their own seem reasonable. The CEO may have given the order to look for ways to increase profit margins. Someone lower down came up with the idea for ‘performance bonuses’. Someone further down the hierarchy had to come up with a metric to tie these bonuses to, then someone below felt pressured by this to be more hesitant before hospitalizing someone.

In the end you end up with a whole chain of decisions where you can’t really point at anyone who made a truly ‘bad’ decision. Every individual decision can be defended as reasonable, but the end result is the company is behaving like a sociopath. The responsibility is spread out over so many people and watered down that no one really can be held responsible.
