It came from a speaker a few years ago at the Davos World Economic Forum. Davos is where the ultra rich gather each year to plot out how to be even more evil.

You have it backwards here. Apple needs to support developers. They make it expensive and inconvenient to develop on their ecosystem. But until Apple releases their stranglehold, I would be just fine if I never have to use their shitty OS, development software, and tools ever again.
my M1 Max MacBook Pro could run Baldur's Gate 3 at max graphics with no performance issues. On battery. Over extended periods
I'm a bit skeptical on this claim, or maybe we have different ideas of what "extended periods" mean. My M1 Max MBP would have just under two hours of run time with VS Code doing .NET Core dev. It was even worse when doing Ruby on Rails work. And that was when MBP was new. My whole team were issued these, and our experiences were the same. Zoom calls were even worse, with about 90 minutes of run time.
The ARM architecture has amazing battery life when idling, quite unlike x86. But when it gets spooled up, it eats angry pixies just the same as x86. All of my x86 laptops can do .NET Core work.. for two hours.
This is exactly the case. Also, I worked for a credit union at the time, and employees got a 1% discount on interest rates for loans over a 24 months.
Liquidity. Buying a car on credit is mostly stupid, but there are cases when it makes some sense. My last car loan was 3.54%. My combined accounts were earning ~8%. Paying cash in that case would be throwing away money. Well, throwing away money on top of wasting it on a car.
My BS, unprovable hypothesis: The Golden Age of Piracy was actually a successful Socialist movement, with Nassau being a disruptively successful enclave of Socialism in action. The pirates deeply threatened the budding power structures in the US (not conjecture) and the entrenched powers in Europe. While some powers, most notably royalty, were willing to use pirates as mercenaries (privateers), there was an excess of democracy and human concern (somewhat my conjecture) among the Nassau pirates. The Nassau pirates had pensions, a form of worker's comp, disability, democratic command structures at sea, and healthcare (such as it was given the era). According to the historical texts on the Nassau pirates, there were almost no written records, which strikes me as especially odd since they had so many long-running financial and governing processes.
Add another endorsement for the OE Lido, but we have the 3 after someone stole our Lido 2. The 3 is also slightly less hazardous on the sailboat when the weather gets bumpy. It's also easier to bring with us since I have to travel a lot for work.
Fake it til you make it!
Ya Kid K's Congolese accent definitely has some of that marbles-in-the-mouth Staten Island sound. I was also surprised to learn she wasn't from the Burroughs.
In the US, motorcycle helmets are held to a DOT specification, which are okay standards. Buy when talking about brain cases, DOT spec is kinda minimal acceptable designs. Snell certification is an additional, more rigorous set of standards, and in my experience, those helmets are generally more expensive and, in my experience, a better helmet to wear and use.
Fuck Konami
Sincere question: what did Konami do?
Because patents are now used as an offensive thicket and a way to parasitize businesses that actually do something.
Intellectual Ventures is one of the more notable patient troll companies: https://www.techdirt.com/2016/03/31/stupid-patent-month-mega-troll-intellectual-ventures-hits-florist-with-do-it-on-a-computer-scheduling-patent/

Am cis-male. And I guarantee you my genitals absolutely make me way dumber than other genital types. ๐ I could fill a novel with data points of my genitally-enabled stupidity.
