That article gets stuck so much and makes my (relatively high end) laptop's fan scream so hard you'd think the website was designed for that kind of hardware.

At every stage of it’s life cycle; the Sphere has been the dumbest thing imaginable

And because some rich people got scammed into buying in now everyone has to advertise it

They tried to build this abomination in London and it got shot down.
