Exactly. I'm seeing pullback more and more.

Just go run or go on a walk every day.

But that doesn't give me data...

I do try to get my daily exercise. However it is still interesting to know how many steps I've taken. (sometimes my daily exercise is bike or swimming which are obviously not steps)


OP just casually dropped awesomeness on a Thursday.


Next you can hook up an abandoned nuke silo, right?


Pretty sure you could manage launch control with nothing but a bunch of ESP32s and home assistant. Sadly there are no rad hardened ESP32s I know of, but that’s what the silo’s for.


We already had this. It was called Theranos.


I'm not sure what this comment is trying to say. Theranos was a company build from the ground up on fraud. Apple, for all its faults, is provably at the forefront of technology used in personal computing devices.


Apple is first and foremost an affordable luxury brand that makes sleek hardware.


And theranos did that too? Theranos, a medical company, was an affordable luxury (??) brand that makes sleek hardware? In fact the hardware was not sleek at all, since it didn't function.


I think you've captured exactly what they are trying to say


This doesn't exactly make it clearer. I can think of two things it can imply. Neither make a lick of sense:

- Theranos was at the forefront of medical technology

- Apple is a fraudulent company to the core


I don't know if we "had" something called Theranos. In fact, I believe that was the subject of a couple of lawsuit because we didn't.


You guys weren't very good, then.


Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country, and the country now has to serve.

What?


Silicon Valley could easily pay their moral debt by not evading taxes.


I feel better after sitting in a steam room two or three times a week. That's proof enough for me.


Good thread.

I've been going backwards to Afterstep and Window Maker theming. Maybe I'll get back to E in a few years.


Yep, beyond 30 minutes or so I'll just switch rooms and watch a hockey or baseball game. I'm at the "done that" phase now. Not much excites me in the computer space.
