The real problem is that Nothing brings.... nothing to the table. Oh look, another startup making another Android phone in a sea of companies making Android phones, with yet another skin.

At least with Photoshop (as bad as the model is), at least they are actually running the software and storing and backing up the associated data for it.

With the car, it's all local to the car without BMW having to incur any expense for that functionality to keep going.

Sorry, your bicycle's gear selector is locked into a single gear until you pay your subscription for the other gears.

I used to just watch YouTube at default, taking the ads as they felt like.

Now, no thanks. If I have to watch as many ads for as long as they mandate, I'll just watch other things.

Nist guidelines used to recommend rotation, and our security team would quickly point to it when people complained.

So of course we jumped on that and security team said "well nist are just guidelines and we go for more stringent requirements"...

There's no way they could have pulled off any vaguely credible election from scratch with about a months warning.

I have this comforter I bought at a consignment sale for 15 dollars years ago. Every day I revel in how much I like it.

Surprising because it's a place not known for having up to date infrastructure nor for being particularly "technophile".

Shouldn't be too surprising because a lot of places that didn't have modern infrastructure tend to skip over intermediate steps when they do get to "catching up".

Mostly doing well because the gasoline infrastructure is piss poor, because gasoline infrastructure is much harder and more expensive than electric to get going.

The larger number of 'not sure' may be due to having three extra weeks of knowing of Vance. Some people either are truly not sure or at least want to sound like they are carefully evaluating a candidate they only heard about in the last couple of weeks.

“Some stay dry and others feel the pain”

Hmm, still unclear....

Even putting that aside, the "bad" was also underestimated.

So Trump gets 4 years before we can vote him out, he's bad, but how bad could it be.

Folks didn't think about the number of supreme court justices that would go over.

Folks certainly didn't expect January 6th to go down the way it did and for there to be lingering aftermath of "if we win again, we will overtly rig the system to prevent losing again".

So I hope people view the stakes as higher and the GOP as more dangerous than people would have guessed in 2016.

True, but given the timing of when he did drop out, Harris is about as close to approximating a democratic choice as they could manage. She at least was on the ticket in the 2020 election so people did technically vote for her as VP in 2020, with everyone knowing that an 80 year old man becoming incapacitated would mean she would be president. They are at least following the succession as was voted for. Any other person would have absolutely been a "coronation" of sorts on that timescale.

While you may say "but people don't really pay too much attention to the VP", I'd say that Palin tanked McCain's chances by being obviously unfit for office.
