Agreed. From this thread, you can tell, it's not funny any longer.

The factory must grow though, sooo...

For those unaware:

Ohhhh, actual pictures of cars! So much better!!
😀

I don't remember this one but it looks fun and having those extra overlays would be cool.

From that video: "You are the brighter dot". Lol, yes!

Yah, the creative things they came up with, using very primitive electronics was amazing. Even looking back at them now I appreciate their designs.

I had the Electronic Football game too. That one was more fun.

Yup. I remember typing in a sort of blackjack card game, but it was mostly text and used verrrry simple graphics for the cards. More than 1,000 lines of code, "hand crafted" as we say now.

No, I had to give up my first one when I went away to college. And then I bought another in about 1994 out of nostalgia. Then I realized how bad it was at computing and how large it was, and sold that one within a year.

Shipping and tracking shipments is pretty hard, people. You should try running a small business and meeting consumers' very high expectations for this kind of thing. It's not f*ing easy, even for the big boys, but especially for small time operators. You have to partner up with more than one external service and rely on them to not f things up and do that many times per day perfectly.

I bet if you (and many others) complain to that retailer they will stop trying to tell you when to expect the shipment at all. Is that what you'd prefer?

I have 30 seconds to figure out what this is. No idea from reading this post. Go to the site, still no idea. Go to its home page.

Networked community gardens in the hinterwebs.

Still no idea. I'm out.

Saw that, yah. Pretty dark time line, eh? Reminds me of Black Mirror on Netflix too.

This is my big concern at my day job. Management keeps pushing AI chat on my younger co-workers, but they can't tell when it's hallucinating. And since there's no feedback loop (our chatbot doesn't learn from us as we type), it just keeps spewing the same lies.
