“Ponzi scheme” or “fraud” - as many are owned by skeezy shell corps.
Example: One proposed in rural Colorado is owned by a fake corp where one guy is the entire board of directors, runs in the red, and receives millions of dollar “loans” with no loan terms from anonymous donors.

Muskrat blows up 50 rockets for sport and puts air travel at risk for the lulz. SpaceX was initially interesting in that small vacuum of NASA activity, but nowhere in the same wheelhouse. All flash and no substance, like the rest of the tech bro industry.
Instead, all that money is being used to accelerate our doom. AI datacenters unnecessarily consuming power and drinking water in small towns everywhere. Many just dumping humidity into the air and letting that water literally blow away via lazy evaporative cooling. Most “normal” water consuming processes consume, treat, and return water to the downstream-traveling aquifer.
Now, couple that with an overall warming climate. When air is warmer, the more moisture the air can hold. So we end up with more water vapor in the air than normal. With the weirding factor of climate change, this means more water energy for more powerful and destructive storms the likes of which humanity has never seen. Which feeds back into more ice melting, oceans rising, permafrost melting, cycle, accelerate, cycle, accelerate.
Also, real curious to see how millions of warehouses belching humidity and heat into the air across the surface of the globe can affect the general weather patterns, but that sadly won’t be known until after the damage is done.
And every fake-friendly long-winded response consumes more electricity and water than it should, while also being useless.
IDEs just get worse, bellwether signal for where software companies think software in general is going, if the dev tools are already going to crap.
They are not banks, nor regulated similarly, so more risk of losing money and not getting it back in trade for perceived convenience.
Amazingly, there is this nifty thing called a “port” that allows a mouse to be plugged into a laptop. It is pretty incredible technology. /s
I tend to vacillate myself depending on the noise of the environment vs the work at hand. If I need to spread out across a few monitors, dock it. If I just need to do some simple paperwork, portable. If I want to force no distractions, portable (as it is more difficult to see things when your screen real estate is reduced.)
Helps if you have good eyesight too, laptop UIs today are at clown magnification levels anymore.
A tale as old as time. The US nuclear missile codes were 000000, but it didn’t matter. The chain of command was purpose-built, ironically, so the front line soldier in a cold war scenario had to make the last decision to delete all life on the planet. Chain of command doesn’t matter at that point. You are choosing to kill everyone you know from an order from who knows who. The ultimate checksum.
You will always be better at decisions than an n-dimensional matrix of numbers on an overpriced GPU.

Business, government, and military contracts. Doesn’t matter how crappy you are, as long as you promise to be the fall-guy when a insert large entity has a insert large tech problem, they’ll keep shoveling money at you.
