To answer your question, it’s because whoever controls these technologies going in to the cyberpunk dystopia will have a lot of power in it. And the ones inventing it aren’t really thinking about whether they’ll have the supporting power to hold on to control of it.
Or both for snake style eating.
Maybe there’s a closet for it rather than it just being in the wall?
If ants wouldn’t eventually find my good food stores and just kept to cleaning up the crumbs, we could have a simbiotic relationship instead of me occasionally waging chemical warfare on them.
This is why I also eat off of your shirt. I assume you’re going to wash it at some point anyways, so it’s not like I’m making any more work for anyone. And you should be happy to know that your work is going even farther than you realized!
It probably wouldn’t take long to figure out that it isn’t getting power through the solar panels. I’d guess testing the voltage on those connectors would be one of the earlier checks they do (there’s probably even an led on that circuit so they can see without even needing the voltmeter).
Someone might get hurt when a strong gust of wind finishes that cut, too.
He had to de-optimize the init sequence because the little trick he added that caused the init sequence to return a little power to the grid instead of taking it was causing grid stability issues because the returned power from offices starting up was a bit higher than the extra power required for factory startup weekday mornings.
I did not use a vaccination profile frame because I thought it was lame virtue signaling.
You didn’t use one because you’re an idiot.
We are not the same.
It was Trump. I remember wondering wtf was going on because it didn’t seem like a corrupt decision and questioned the respect I had for Fauci.
Short answer: Contempt. I feel nothing but contempt for Apple and its products. They aren’t evil but they also aren’t good (not the opposite of evil but in the “I think this is worth using” sense).
Long answer: Apple earned their place in my mental category of “polished turd” decades ago with their single button mice and their tendency to pick form over function. Those colourful iMacs back around 2000 were easily the worst computers I’ve ever used, between the mouse that was perfectly round (so you couldn’t tell its rotation without looking at it or at least feeling for the wire), the slowness (simple assignments took forever), and instability (I just avoided using them at all after the nth assignment was lost after an hour of work).
And then they added “trendy walled garden” with the iPhone and serve as a reminder of how many people fall for marketing bullshit with how many people seem to prefer the shittier locked down option while also acting smug about it.
So personally, Mac was labelled irrelevant back during the Win vs Mac wars, before MS really embraced the enshitification and thought they had to make something people wanted to use to sell it rather than do whatever and most people go along because inertia. And now that MS has embraced the enshitification, my own mental model for them is basically “just like Mac except Mac seems like they are trying to be good but just have a very different idea of what ‘good’ is, while MS isn’t even trying to be good and pursue other means of revenue”.

He’s helping with the mathematical aspects of the emergency. He’s doing the best he can!
Maybe he was trying to get a job at Microsoft and showing off his relevant skills.
A shadow is a 2d projection of a 3d object projected back onto 3d space.
Yeah but what’s done is already done!
It’s not like someone can just draw a time machine in the next panel so that he can go back and blurt something like “Tell her you have bad knees!” before the future version pops out of existence, leaving a confused past version wondering “Who? When?” Followed by a new arc where he doesn’t go to the bar because he thinks he needs to do something more important, wanders around looking for the woman he needs to inform about his bad knees (which aren’t even really that bad).
All to set up a scenario where an exhausted man sits down on a bench and is approached by another woman who flirtily asks him if he’s a bad boy and he absently replies that his knees are bad, she laughs and they fall in love.
And every now and then he thinks about that alternate reality where he somehow determined that “Tell her you have bad knees!” was enough to not only win his true love’s heart but also somehow led him to her. Though he loves his life with her, he obsesses with finding ways to unlock that advanced intellect in this timeline.
It’s not like you could just draw that, the past is in the past, worry about the present!
Some other famous US cities:
I also really like stainless steel cookware. Works with induction burners, stuff will stick but it isn’t bad if you know how to handle it (heat the oil before adding food, managing heat to avoid burning, and knowing how to deglaze (or when to not, remove the still good food, then deglaze into the sink)). And then you can use a stainless steel scouring pad to clean it easily.
From there, I prefer rivitted handles, though my nice pots right now (other than the single expensive one I’ve got) are a set with removable handles (so they fit in a stack in a drawer) but riveted bits for the handle to latch on to.
Though it’s just a preference after getting tired of re-tightening screwed on handles, as I don’t mind scrubbing around the rivets instead of tightening screws after getting annoyed at how loose the handle it. Though loosening rivits would be even more annoying because you need like a press to tighten them, but that hasn’t happened yet to me.
Held hostage? I don’t get how anyone can suspend their disbelief enough to not feel like a tool “romancing” a sophisticated text predictor.
There’s a sad set of shows from before I got tired of laugh tracks. Sad because they are harder to enjoy now that I understand the laugh track is pretty much just there to dumb down the humour.
Though that could be an interesting remake formula: take some existing show then redo it but without a laugh track or live audience. I hated how live audience shows needed a pause after each main character’s first appearance while the people present did the whole “scream because you see a new celebrity”.
