I have an OLED from them that’s 5 years old or so now, I have never once updated it or used any of the software beyond switching inputs and screen/color settings. It’s sad if it sounds like it’s getting to the point where you can’t just use a screen as a dumb screen as an option, I never minded smart features… as long as I never had to use them.

It’s weird that the number one search engine in modern times is so finicky, perhaps just has become way over-engineered and over-rigged. Just index the web, at a certain point they went from search engine to arbiter of what people can find.

Maybe the point is for it to not end well, like instead of waiting around they’re taking the helm and driving it into the ground early.

“We’re gonna need more fuel for this fire!”

I thought this was real at first.

Me too. It took me few paragraphs at least. The speed of progress is such and the description of the technology obfuscated enough that I honestly thought: ”Wait, what? We can do what now?”

Thanks for saying this, I thought it was real. I didn't read the whole thing and didn't see the Fiction tag haha. I thought "Wow, this guy is extremely close to the Blade Runner guy that does eyes. I guess the future is already here more than I thought."

>Hannibal Chew: Don't know, I don't know such stuff. I just do eyes, ju-, ju-, just eyes... just genetic design, just eyes. You Nexus, huh? I design your eyes.

>Batty: Chew, if only you could see what I've seen with your eyes!
