      The world today is like Windows: it sucks, but because it’s the authoritative system used by a vast majority, most people just go with the flow or have no other choice because of their job. Then there’s a minority of nonconformist rebels who join the underground resistance called Linux. 😉

          Lasers are cool: they invoke futuristic spaceships & epic space battles! 🚀

          But if we're not under alien attack, then why are our telescopes firing giant laser beams into the sky? 🤨

              I have to agree here, as far as I know hasn’t invented much of anything, but to be fair, doesn’t so much invent totally new products as they usually improve and iterate upon existing technologies. Apple does indeed keep their “walled garden” fairly well locked down, but in my opinion that’s why the garden is worth spending time in. I don’t have time to maintain a garden myself and Apple’s garden aligns with my sensibilities, it works for me that they (mostly) keep out the weeds.

                "Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic! If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic — and this we know it is, for certain — then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature."

                Serbian-American inventor and engineer Nikola Tesla died in 1943.

                Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) thinking. Tesla is seated in a dimly lit study or laboratory. He wears a dark, tailored suit, complete with a high-collared white shirt and a neatly tied bowtie, reflecting his elegant style. His slender frame and sharp features are illuminated by soft, focused light, emphasizing his high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and slightly furrowed brow.
