If they’re antipho we can safely assume their opinions on soup aren’t worth a damn.

$13B is 7% of Apple’s annual profit in 2022. Not a rounding error. Somebody has to settle for golden yachts instead of platinum next year.

John Wayne toilet paper. Rough, tough, and doesn’t take shit off of anyone.

They wish this want their actual platform so hard. I love that it’s so transparent.

I’ve seen some dumbass takes on here, but this one is amazing. It has everything. Gaslighting. Gas lighting. Lighting from a gas source. Everything.

Do they make them with LiPos? Everything I’ve ever owned had sealed Lead/Acid batteries. Really hard to cause any damage with those.

If we’re talking about the neural lace from the Culture Sci-Fi series, hell yeah. It’s all nanotech that could be installed and removed in a non-invasive way. You get a lot more control over your body, enhanced cognition, mental backups so you’re really hard to kill permanently, comms, all the knowledge, VR more real than reality, control a robot as an extension of your body, etc.

They were still vulnerable to remote takeover in extreme and unusual situations. I think an EMP like thing would switch them off.

Realistically would I let somebody put something running binaries written in C and ad supported apps in my head? Not happening.

They could offer a way to download a copy and steganographically tag it to hell with your id so that they know if you distribute it. You can “loan it out” by letting friends stream off your Plex or whatever. If you start selling that streaming service or it shows up in torrents, it has your ID on it.

Boom, you own it forever and you’re incentivized not to over share.

Or you know sell DRM free versions and let people do whatever, but that probably has a snowballs chance in hell.
