Magnetic tape only lasts for a decade or two.
I am owned by several dogs and cats. I have been playing non-computer roleplaying games for almost five decades. I am interested in all kinds of gadgets, particularly multitools, knives, flashlights, and pens.

This could be considered a trojan.
It’s a reference to Trump insulting Harris by refusing to say “Kamala” correctly.
I’m with you. If everyone in the country could get to know Trump personally, he would get fewer votes than he has immediate family members. The best thing he can do for Harris is to go out there and be himself in public.
Underrated comment.
He is perfect…in the sense that he is not capable of getting any better than he is right now.
I think the saddest part is that most of the people pushing these awful ideas did not get theirs. And instead of trying to do something constructive to help themselves and others, they are desperately fighting to make sure that no one else “gets theirs” either.
I love the idea!
The biggest problem with corporate governance is that precedent in US law is absolutely clear that the only financial responsibility is to the shareholders. If we expanded that to include employees and customers our world would look very different after a while.
The sad thing is that the corporate sociopaths who made the bad decisions all made huge amounts of money doing it. The fact that they destroyed the company means nothing to them. And it will not mean anything to the next corporations that hire those same people as executives.
I love this image, but you know that Clippy would be holding the gun sideways, gangster style.
The earlier generation of tech leaders were just as bad as the current ones. Bill Gates was willing to do almost anything to hold onto his near monopoly and to squeeze as much money out of it as possible. Larry Ellison has made a life’s work out of taking over software projects that benefited everyone, then brutally killing them. I actually met Steve Jobs several times and he was an awful person who made his fortune by exploiting more talented people. And so on.
There were plenty of decent tech innovators, as there are now. Then, as now, they did not end up running huge corporations.
I’m sure there were others, but the only exceptions I can think of were from the generation before that. Bill Hewlett and David Packard founded HP and made it a great place to work, a center of innovation, and a very profitable company, until they retired. And it all went to hell rather quickly.
I’ve just been looking for something to replace One Note. The timing of this announcement worked out really well for me. :-)
Thanks!
Well, clearly, their executive team all need to be in the office. Their actual workers can be trusted to work from home.
The recent Harris rallies have mostly been outdoors.
That seems to imply that Facebook and Elon are not terrorists. I could make a reasonable argument for Facebook. Elon, I think, has already established his credentials with multiple acts that have led to riots and other violence.
Thank you! That was very useful.
I don’t think it’s even about ruling, it’s about needing to feel superior to . . . someone. Decades ago there was a wonderful article titled something like “Who Are You Better Than?”. It talked about how people who know they are not, and never will be, members of the ruling class desperately need groups of people they can comfortably point to as being “beneath them”. As long as they aren’t at the bottom they can feel good about themselves.

Titanium and carbon fiber, not iron. This isn’t the middle ages.
Paper tape would probably work, as long as you could find a reliable reader for it. I’m actually old enough to have used it and the readers often had problems. Getting rid of the mechanical aspects of the reader and replacing them with light sensors would go a long way toward fixing that.
