This only makes sense if you believe that Musk is a god. Or maybe he's the other fellow

Britain enters period of mourning as Greggs unable to process payments
Re: Ok adding my not so consipracy take...
"...none of these countries have Greggs..."
Long before Y2K there was a meme holding that McDonald's had civilised the world because "no two countries that have a McDonald's have ever gone to war". I happened to walk down Calle Florida in Buenos Aires a little while after the Falklands show and gazed at the McDonald's in some surprise. Just imagine.

ReMarkable emits Type Folio keyboard cover for e-paper tablet
I got one in October 2020. Within a year it stopped taking a charge. There's no viable temporary workaround for ReMarkable unless you buy two; you have to go back to what you were using before you changed all your workflows. So I permanently went back to what I was using prior. Expensive kit behaving cheaply. There's not enough time left on earth to hope (a) this was a non-repeating glitch and so (b) I woudn't have to do it all again after some months with the replacement.

Scammers steal $4 million in crypto during face-to-face meeting
Re: Who loves cryptocurrency?
If it sounds sensible giving someone your bank details and authority to charge an account in which you routinely keep money, then knock yourself out. I used them for a decade or so before realising that the beneficiaries were either dead easy to hack or took actual liberties.

Windows 11: What we like and don't like about Microsoft's operating system so far
File Explorer. Oh I wish. If I could select "Details" view and then see details. Like, for each folder, lie the number of docs and their total megabytery. You know, useful stuff. Presently there is "file count" as a column header, which doesn't count files, and "properties" for each folder. Just life the mid 1990s.

Apple's M1: the fastest and bestest ever silicon = revolution? Nah, there's far more interesting stuff happening in tech that matters to everyone
I've been trying to move to Apple since about 2005. Every time I or someone in my family takes a tentative step they get clobbered by unreliability. Usually absurdly short hardware lives. Current but not first problem is trying to get a 400Gb iTunes library to play on a phone. The Apple Music people are very sweet but as ignorant as I am. I doubt whether Apple is really any less reliable than anyone else, but their reputation and pricing says they're really good.
Samsung aims boot at Apple's decision not to bundle a charger in with the iPhone 12, foot ends up in mouth
Hopefully they'll stop bundling expensively moderate cameras in their "products" and we can go back to buying real phones and PDAs. I have a US$250 camera which outperforms any smartphone and weighs half as much. My real camera costs four times as much as a phone and is a bargain because, as a free, high value extra you don't get Tim Cook or Sundar Pichai curating music and diluting photos.
