... Unless you put your own OS on it? Think that's still possible in 2024, right?

AliExpress too, to some extent,, depending on what it is. Usually has "direct from the mainland" shipping, though.

What if its not streaming? What if its just cached for future access, e.g. next time the user opens the app (and network traffic spikes anyways) maybe?

Thats weird, it almost feels like a misalignment between our general needs for computing resource development, and the incentive structures produced by using capitalist economic markets to distribute even basic goods for survival...

... Doesn't "limited resources" basically just mean here ones ability to consider more than one thought at a time? Surely a species capable of collaborative efforts like space travel can handle the complexity of generalizing to say "no, sorry, none of the human-bulldozer designs are okay actually"?

Forgot about that~ I remember looking around and trying to find a copy of the soundtrack. Good times, thanks for the reminder

This feels a bit like Russia gallantly "offering" to "adopt" and "care for" Ukrainian children whose families are unfortunately, inadvertently facing some difficulties currently (e.g. death)...

Hence the impression of "settling" as covering a range of violent and non-violent activities, probably? I thought that there was a range too, until that thought just got the spotlight now lol. Thanks.
