I just bought a M4 MacBook Pro, compared to the ones of old, this is lightning.

Yes, true, *BUT,* is it physically/structurally built as well?  My battery took a trump shortly after the warranty ran out AND I didn’t spring for the apple care, so I was screwed…no way yo change the battery repair screen damage that seemed “common” with that model etc…

Planned Obsolescence....

...but then again we're supposed to be using glasses or chips implanted in our temples by now.

Those tech billionaires have got it wrong, at least for the foreseeable future.

Unless you count the 17 people that think Zuckerberg has it right...

I've long said, that once you've got shitloads of money, what is the point of getting more?

There are only so many ::

• Bottles of high priced booze you can drink in a day
• Super yachts you can travel on at once
• Super cars you can drive simultaneously
• Lobsters you can eat
• Models you can bed
• etc
• etc

I was told it's the game and the winning that drives them..

I reckon it's character and deeds that define them...

The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation/s

MacKenzie Scott's charitable works

The reality is these people's charitable donations are disproportionate to their wealth. It's like you or me making a $10 donation to the local sport's club or homeless shelter. There's a Australian philanthropist who once said if you don't actually feel it, it's meaningless. I believe at one point he gave away around 90% of his wealth.

If I had a billion dollars you'd never hear from me again 😊

If I had a billion dollars you'd never know it and you'd hear from me constantly...

Ahem, how do I back out of this one? Donald?

There was allegedly a time when the dump supposedly wasn’t such a hate worthy tool…he was known to actually give away lots of his money…of course he was also dicking over polish workers he brought over to build his hotels…still trying to figure out how he got around the building trades in New York…aka the “organization” that runs all that…

Now that the USA wants 5 years of our social media to enter the States, to check if I've ever said Trump bad, I wonder how long it'll be before this is normalised and other countries demand it for air travel...

Don't be surprised when it happens:

...related occurrence: I got banned from a NZ Hunting forum for reposting the below photo, in the jokes section, violating the "No Politics" rule.   I guess NZ is a reservoir for folk that think that criticism of Trump is somehow NZ politics.

They walk amongst us...
