Tinfoil hats, cancer treatment, self driving cars or perhaps platoons for highways, smart homes that are easily hacked, wireless low powered implants that cause benign tumors that sue a tech company into bankrupty, but the shell company opens another 5g implant company.

Ever heard of pilot wave theory? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Broglie%E2%80%93Bohm_theo... It's an easy visualization that can be shown with speakers and liquid

My iPhone 12 is legacy because it's based on an iPhone released in 2007 and the software is also legacy because it's based on Unix which is 50+ years old. Glass is thousands of years old so it's legacy technology and the molecules are the same as those from the age of dinosaurs so it's very very legacy.

Are you used to iPhone? Would you try to make it work like the iPhone way?

Do you feel the same with an iPad? I do with my phone but I think it has more to do with your utility of it. The iTunes app may not look proper in your computer. Android may simply suit you better. Do you find yourself trying to make it work like Android?

Just press 0 until an operator comes. That's what I do. You don't need AI for that. This is too high tech for no reason. Might as well use an AI on your toothbrush that tells you where you need to brush more with an accelerometer and camera in the brush. Overkill. Tech users tend to have an issue putting tech into everything. They will insist/injecting on strange changes like moving with a drone for short distances instead of vehicles or other changes that have little benefit.

Well thats assuming the quality is good. News is so biased I don't feel like paying for it. Usually they tell you what they want me to think. The only publication I like (that has no noticible bias) is al jazeera which is free. The WP sucks and it's the only one off the top of my head that asked me to pay.

How would you feel about paying for pirated content? If someone just had publication subscriptions they could simply charge a small fee and show all the content on the sites. I could see small groups even do this and every time someone joins the monthly fee goes down.

How successful is it as a model for cash flow compared to the others? I can wait a week to see the kernel benchmarks or whatever so I don't see why anyone would subscribe if not to suppose it rather than need it. I never used the site I'm just assuming it's like phoronix.

Word of mouth; the best advertising there is.

You never read an article behind a Paywall that showed a first portion asking you to subscribe?

This will be the onlyfans to bangbros. The model works as long as they are not popular enough to pirate if it even works at all. The cost of subscription is not high for the WP or many for a trial, so it's more likely someone pays $1 to subscribe with a temporary card than to buy the articles. Think of the news articles similar to the commodity of porn. What would you do? Buy one video, or download the whole catalog every few trials? Text is cheap. It's everywhere. It'a small. You will not be able to guard secret information easily. The disposable nature of news makes it very hard to value by article, I have NEVER once found a news article worth paying for. I wonder if anyone here has a counter to that point, an article that was worth subscribe for.

False. It's common in volcanos. It's why Roman Cement is so good. That, salt water and pig blood.
