Who knew that just a couple of decades later, humans would collectively decide that watching buffering 720p YouTube videos from the middle of the Pacific would be more important than whatever all those weird TV dishes in the background are doing

I see a connection between elon's increasingly 'wacky' persona with the start of the cozy financial relationship he has with saudi arabia. imo, he's serving as a captured asset for oil giants to further their influence and interests in the west, in a similar vein to all the recent acquisitions of popular US/UK sports teams by the middle east.

The 'eccentric' behavior, to me, is 100% intentional. A layer of security is built when your rivals, regulators, and the general public are unable to predict your next move. A 'white noise' is created: for every midnight decision to change your company logo to dogecoin, intentional and sinister actions slip thru, such as the banning of twitter in turkey during their recent elections.

This strategy of wrapping yourself in layers of ambiguity was explored by Adam Curtis in his doc Hypernormalization, describing how this has been the central tactic Putin has used in Russia for decades.

Lenovo has spent the last decade destroying the repairablity of ThinkPads. They've only 'rediscovered' the 'innovations' they stripped from their laptops, like a removable battery, because they are scared of framework.

framework mainboards in dedicated cases could end up being a better option for making a small form-factor desktop with easily upgradable components
