Indeed! The old magiks were good enough. Thye young ones today could do well to learn some lines of command!

Yea. Slightly modified - “If conditions are now so prefect now that 8 billion humans can ask their computer nicely to program itself, and it works, then why is non-shit-tier software still vanishingly rare?”

Too much risk of fireball ear.

It’s fair game after getting legally married, though.

Not my living room. Nice try, fuckers.

Why does it cost so much to engineer new models?

“Let it kill ten people. I’m still not eating mushed peas, Dad.”

Needed a 25, sorry.

“Anyway, Kevin - the kid your fiancé is pregnant with is mine, so it’s fine. We’re cool, right Kevin?”

Anything you do on USPS also goes to Google.

Opening a PO Box in person should avoid this issue.

Being less confident in my soldering skills, I also just cover the emitter in hot glue, or that tacky stuff that kids hang posters with.

It uses a dead drop in a secret location.

Never underestimate the lengths LG and Meta will go to for their spycraft.
