Literally right now there's a bunch of island nations that will probably not exist in 30 years. Many coastal cities are getting worse floods every year, having to invest billions in measures to protect themselves.

Every drought means conflict, they mean war, refugees and instability. Sure, the first world will be shielded from the worst for some time, but this isn't a Hollywood movie, the pressure will keep increasing every year exposing every flaw in the system.

Corona has shown that our world does not deal well with pressure and you can't make a vaccine for food insecurity.

Except run software when the server gets a little smokey.

Tobacco.

What? Did anyone say that being banned from a website was a laser gun that deleted people from the internet?. This has happened before and will happen again (see Gab for a very recent example)

The most probable outcome is Voat 2: Electric Boogaloo, or not even that considering that the website is stuck on it's logo for me.

Yeesh, "It's not THAT bad, it ONLY leaks the developer of every app you open, via cleartext. Oh, and it cripples your offline software when someone spills coffee over Apple's servers"

This is the reason people laugh at this website.

Wait, so I tried to fix the mouse lag in Windows for days and the problem was Doom? Fuck.

I love how you assume that he's a Washington Post fan or something like that, if the mere idea of "take in account who's the owner of a media outlet" makes you seethe like this maybe you should rethink what content you're consuming.

Nope, it's the ecosystem around them.

Perhaps I was too categorical, it is an useless toy... In the context of home security, in others like eldercare or checking the state of unoccupied buildings it might be useful.

Even then I don't think it would in that case, my personal experience tells me that it could be distressing to someone who's disoriented, drones aren't exactly quiet. (Also it apparently it only moves in premade paths)

A GoPro-esque camera with streaming attached to clothing could be better at that.

Only a first world rich person could believe that this trinket is in any way useful. Hit the toy with a stick, take all valuables you see, run like hell.

Congratulations, you have footage of the guy! Now what do you do? The police can't be bothered, and they shouldn't, why waste more tax dollars than your TV is worth recovering it?

Get a dog, add motion sensors if you feel like it. Vote for social programs and pay the taxes instead of buying data-mining toys.
