I'm too young, but I think I've read that we've already been there, when expert systems written in Lisp were all the rage, and you would write them questions. Of course, the percentage of humanity to ever see such a system was slim.

It could. In fact it will make that part of the Web yet another step closer to a bot-populated SEO-infested graveyard where a living human will find nothing useful.

If only my friends would stop using VK to communicate, and my family FB for the same.

I meant something with peerflix inside, to stream torrented stuff.

Not only pedos, in general sadistic people tend to try and get jobs which would give them the feeling of power over someone, and not all of them can be dictators, warlords, just politicians, even lowly prison guards or policemen, also cowardice is a factor. So - child-related jobs.

But, to be frank, I'm not sure background checks are going to do that much good. People of this kind tend to bunch together, help each other, and can either get past the radar rather easy or utilize these checks to discredit anybody who'd be a threat to them.

It's a complex matter.

In my humble opinion until the producers of such appliances learn honesty through pain, it's much better to have a pirate streambox (with something like torrentflix or Popcorn Time or whatever, I just download torrents and watch on my laptop, so don't use these things).

It’s almost as if they looked at the next 6-12 months and went: “They still haven’t caught up, so we don’t need too much faster, yet-- but we can make a lot of money until while we wait.”

"Almost".

I have seen those break over time on one Lenovo (rather good, but blonde-oriented) and one HP laptop (cheapest possibly, so expected).

Are you fscking serious about performance?

Please compare Apple's stuff to what you get for the same money.

all because it’s a status symbol.

And I could say in Russian which status that is.

The Mac community are in fact those guys still using Hotline and KDX on OS9, the rest are just clueless.

Fsck Discord in particular, but I don't remember Apple being THAT shameless before. They may have sold things very expensively for just looks and "philosophy", but those are subjective and who we are to judge cultists? However, theory of information is not subjective. This may really be a first.

But nobody is going to punish them, I fear. That kind of scam just stopped being perceived as something wrong.
