And now you need to replace usb-c with usb-d, unless you just bought an iPhone 30 then you need a thunderstorm cable (modeled after Steve Jobs dick).

Even if it's not Elon Musk. Do you want to have brain surgery every 2 years to implant a new chip because the old one is obsolete?

That's what Ponzi told people he was doing. And in the beginning he was, and it was working, but then he started paying investors with other investors money.

We have been attributing a huge value to a metal that's mostly remarkable for being yellow and shinny for millennia, one of the biggest investment bubbles in history was over a flower, and people thought that using a loophole to profit from the arbitrage of international reply coupons was going to last forever. Hell, people paid for fake property titles for land on the Moon and Mars. It's not that surprising that some people think that buying a random number in a distributed database is an investment.

Also Operas aren't necessarily much more expensive than a cinema ticket. Some Opera houses have reasonable prices.

That would require them to care enough to figure out how to verify if something is a registered charity and what they are called in each country. Some countries don't even have the concept of registered charity in any form.

Well, more than half of Stellantis factories are in Europe and have at least an half decent collective working agreement in place. I don't even want to imagine how bad the contracts for the factories they have in Asia and Africa are though.

I couldn't find any, but someone that's a better writer than me should definitely write one.

Doom is also a cursed piece of software that compels people to make it run everywhere even when it should be physically impossible.

Their terms and services forbid third party clients for security reasons, and they have enforced it before. They have a bit of a point in that they can't ensure that 3rd party applications aren't spying on you, or more importantly other users you chat with, but that point is mooted when they refuse to document the risk of other apps, like your phone keyboard or "AI" assistant doing the same (which is already happening in some countries).

There are plenty of progressive Rock and Metal albums that are also supposed to be listened to as a whole.

And people have been playing Ode To Joy on its own long before there were recordings - single instrument renditions of symphonic pieces exist for a reason.

Symphonies still have subdivisions that can stand on their own, so a symphony is more like an album and not a single song. The movements of Beethoven's 9th Symphony range from slightly more than 10 minutes to slightly more than 20, for example.
