If near monopolies agree to rules sets with one another, they can effectively monopolize. That’s why there are regulations in place to prevent that behavior but we’re consistently seeing the lack of enforcement of those rules. Sure there are still other telecoms other than these two, but in the US each of the major telecoms are guilty of this sort of behavior, and while phone unlock is allowed they create unnecessary barriers to make it more difficult for consumers to do this, at the benefit of themselves. It’s similar malicious compliance to providing an ability to cancel a subscription but making it difficult to do so for consumers so they give up trying.

Near monopolies say monopolistic behavior is good for you and does not only benefit them. More bullshit at 11.

Convert the code into a holy relic that will be used to unlock the doors to the Redbox mausoleum we will build with the rest of the machines.

Only one way to find out 😃. It sounds like we think religious sludge porn will be the predominant genre for at least one redbox

I want to see one of these bad boys outside on someone’s lawn next to their free literature box. Fill it with some DVDs and Blurays, let people take and add whatever they like, see what happens.

The first thing I thought of for user assessment testing was the enhanced reality helmet from Space Cop where it’s just pop ups and malware until you get ran over by one of those digital mobile billboard platform trucks you see in Vegas.

I’d sure like to hear people being allowed to pee in something that isn’t a bottle while being forced to deliver, or not being crushed by automation in warehouses for starters.

Depends on the state of the banana I suppose. I used to do the bunch end but it’d always end up mushing it a bit. I find just apply some pressure with a thumbnail and peeling it had better results. I remember being taught that way years back and it’s worked sense. The bunch end might easily come off if it’s ripened a bit I suppose.

I also thought it was strange. Sounds like the much easier part?

Open a banana from the seed end and not the bunch end. It’s much easier.

Hi, I’m annoying and want to be helpful. Am I helpful? If I repeat the same options again when you’ve told me I’m not helpful, will that be helpful? I won’t remember this conversation once it’s ended.

Hi, which option have you told me you already don’t want would you like?

Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that, please rage again.

Every time I see the body horror AI produces I feel like I’m MacReady at McMurdo in desperate need of my flamethrower.

Streaming services become required by law like insurance

Wait, why am I required to pay for a streaming service?

Because it has all of the entertainment electrolytes a human needs
