@itnewsbot oh 🙁 it's sad too see him without his signature hair and beard.

@keefeglise they have Jacob Rees-Mogg, too. He's been cosplaying some bizarre upper-class Victorian dandy mashup thing for a while now.

Soon, there will be no more #GBNews presenters. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66963562

@MissingThePt Knowing him his first solution will be Optimus carrying a machine gun, then he will backtrack after an outcry and claim it was all a joke.

Then he will offer to donate 200 Cybertrucks to Minutemen but then it will become evident that Tesla cannot produce 200 Cybertrucks.

Then he'll make a marijuana joke that only he finds funny.

Then he'll marry a stripper he met at the Mexico border.

After a while, it will transpire she is an illegal immigrant and then becomes anti-border and pro-immigration of all sorts.

Until he gets divorced after 6 months at which point joins the Minutemen but even those guys think he's too much of a weirdo and kick him out of their sad and pathetic cosplay group.

@itnewsbot Windows' last strong point was gaming. With Proton, is there any need for Windows for general usage anymore?

@freemo LOL! top tip :)

@david_megginson @g0nz4 I have to admit, I write them separately :)

@david_megginson @g0nz4 YES!!!!!!! Right is heaven, left is not... Including snap!

@itnewsbot I still don't know out if there's a real security threat or it is all about politics. If anyone has links that prove either, please show me :)

@newsthump They are missing out! What could be more beautiful than Skegness?

YouTube keeps recommending me videos of new phone reviews, but I find them boring. I think the days of exciting hardware innovations are over. Let me explain why:

Phones: The market is dominated by two operating systems, Android and iOS. The only noticeable changes are in the cameras or the batteries, but they are not very significant. Even the cameras have reached a point where they are amazing for any high-end phone, and there is no room for major improvement.

Videogame consoles: They all use the same x86 architecture (Switch excluded, but that's a legacy console by now), so the hardware is not very different. The main factors are the online store, the controller, and the exclusive games. You prefer gyro controls? Go for PS5. You don’t? Go for Xbox.

Laptops/PCs: Some people may get hyped about a new GPU, but does it really matter for most users? Sure, a new GPU may be faster, more efficient, and more affordable, but it is not a game-changer. It is not like going from a Commodore 64 to an Amiga. And the same goes for the operating systems: Mac OS, Windows, Linux/ChromeOS. They are all stable, reliable, and familiar. Nothing revolutionary is coming.

So, I don’t understand why people are so eager to watch new phone reviews. They all seem to say the same thing: it is the same thing, just newer.

PS: The exciting areas now could be: VR and AR. Also whatever hardware gets to use upcoming AI innovations, if someone makes a robot that's really useful for home chores that would be REALLY cool. But another phone review? God, no please. It's just a phone.
