I think the movie did a pretty good job of showing that he wasn't the inventor of the atomic bomb. The moniker has always been "father" of the atomic bomb, since he was more of a supervisor and manager than a deep researcher at that point

If a product can be offered without much issue on a pay once and own-as-is forever model, then I think there is an ethical imperative to pirate it.

I would be willing to pay a few hundred bucks for a perpetual license to look 2023 version of Adobe Lightroom. Unfortunately the only place to find such a product is on the high seas. Adobe will only let you buy a subscription based equivalent. I like the actual software product, and I've gotten good at using it, but if I can't just buy it, I'm not going to pay for it.

I actually have a plug-in for Lightroom called topaz Labs AI enhancement suite. I pay for a single year's worth of updates, but I can still use the software as of the final update forever. If Adobe actually offered something like that I would be all over it.

What do they think they do at the factory?

The issue is that is that now they have your billing address and credit card number

Why do they look like eyeballs!? If Elsa was a fire queen instead of ice queen she'd look like the eye of sauron

I love my subaru, but I do have everything on a stupid touch screen. I would have gone in that 2022 Forester that still had a bunch of real buttons, but it didn't come with a turbo option so I went with the Outback where everything was integrated. Even then the Android auto experience could definitely be better.

It feels like San Francisco's fault. Apple and tesla-esque design language spreading like a plague because it's cheap to manufacture and people think it's trendy.

I bought a 2023 Subaru outback. Great car, only quibbles are the CVT instead of a traditional Auto or manual for longevity reasons, and most of my controls are on a big old touch screen. The issue is that everything is routed through it, and it lagggggggs.

Please give your employees lunar support!

Yeah unfortunately as cultures get air conditioners, they can take more heat as a society, but individually most people don't ever truly be hot adapted. Then you get a place where people run from their ACd job to their ACd carto their ACd grocery store and finally get to heir ACd house.

I remember the good old 4chan days when every 3rd post was about how "this is the cancer that is killing /b/" ...

Which in hindsight was not wrong. It's a husk of what it was. I fought with many a /b/tard in the great Tumblr wars. It was remnant of a more wild age, before the summer posters, before the psyops.
