But that won't solve anything. That's like treating diabetes by drinking diet soda.

I didn't find any references to "cache". That's the part I want to understand, what the significance of that part of the joke. Why "cache"?

I think because Gates famously can jump over a chair, which he has demonstrated several times on stage. As the result, Gates (now Windows) didn't learn to jump over his first chair and all hell broke loose.

Could you please explain? Now I'm curious.

To be fair, Fox also played his daughter in part 2 and his ancestor (Seamus?) in part 3, but rather briefly.

Oh, it had like an inventory functionality? I love Oblivion, but I obviously didn't get the armor and don't remember the details. I suspect it also provided defense for the horse? In that case it's almost approaching Assassin's Creed's "buy xp to skip grind" level of egregiousness, but still just a DLC.

Even if we are talking about specifically jets that are owned privately, they could have legit use cases. It's the abuse that is the issue. I agree with the whole "eat the rich" sentiment, but that's a separate issue. In the system where rich people exist, the problem is abuse.

It didn't start with horse armor. And even then, while clearly stupid, it wasn't egregious in the way modern mtx is. It was just a poorly priced optional cosmetic DLC. Modern mtx is a whole other beast, where companies use every psychological trick in the book to get people addicted to gambling.

I'm sure that private (meaning small) jets can have valid use cases, it's the abuse by the rich that is the problem.

What truly blows my mind is the amount of requests the 1st party Reddit app sends home. Back when I was using Sync I still had the app installed, but then I set up AdguardHome and saw that my phone was spamming requests. Checked the logs and found out that the 1st party app, which I wasn't even using for months, was "phoning home" literally every 10 seconds! Besides privacy concerns, that can't be good for battery life. Nuked the app then and there. I'll take the nagging, thank you.

Max is like that player 001 from Squid Game, isn't he?

His haircut misses the pentagons though. Not regulation haircut.
