It’s very easy to E2E encrypt stuff you’re sending via email: zip it up in a password protected archive. Even the email client won’t know what it’s sending.

And even if that isn’t good for whatever reason, there’s no reason to use email. A web form via https is secure and encrypted, and cuts out the email middleman.

That’s not the reason we still use fax machines. The reason we still use fax machines is because someone very old and set in their ways is the one in charge of making the decision to move away from fax machines.

This is a hot dog with Cincinnati style chili and cheese on it

(Cincinnati chili is arguably not chili at all, more like a meat sauce really. But it’s perfect for this)

The beginning was like 15-20 years ago.

If the previous seasons are available to watch on Hulu as well, then dependence on those seasons might be a feature and not a bug. “Check out this new episode! Oh, there’s a joke you didn’t get, better binge the old seasons. And now that you’ve done that, gotta watch the new ones a second time to get all the jokes now!”

If you really want to you can just make an account on either side of the divide. They’re free.

It’s not that you misquoted a line or something like that. The dictionary quote is an extremely well known saying that originated in the Bible. Zapp’s line in futurama is literally parodying that saying. By thinking the dictionary is in any way referencing the Futurama scene, you have revealed that you didn’t even get the joke in the first place.

The original Klingon of course

It’s veiled? It’s literally the title

I really don’t see how it is at all defensible that the loan term for paying off the thing can be longer than the warranty for the thing.

Holy shit that sounds like an absolute nightmare.

Let’s ignore for the moment all the mega corporation and cloud data security implications of that (and there are MANY), let’s pretend it does all processing and storage locally and never needs to transmit any of those conversations offsite.

That STILL sounds like an absolute nightmare. I could spy on the people who live with me in an extraordinarily efficient way. “Hey Siri, what did my wife talk about in the phone call over breakfast?” “Hey siri, is my daughter gay?” “Hey siri, summarize all the conversations you heard at this dinner party.”
