@atpfm (I understand the comment was more about the edges, but like I said: Any excuse to share that excellent video :D

@atpfm I’m probably the hundredth one to mention this, but listening to the part about rounded edges of the MacBook Neo. I am reminded that Apple doesn’t do traditional “rounded“ edges in the sense of being quarter circles. They’ve always been absurdly extra with the curvature continuity of their products and are famous for only using G3 and G4 continuity (“the Apple curve”). This is just an excuse to share this video which is great.
@atpfm @siracusa Great interview from Terry Pratchett to Bill Gates from 1995. A fascinating snapshot in time full of predictions (good and bad), in GQ UK: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/6l1hb6ctrj7h3e5pbbc8z/GQ-Selective-Sync-Conflict.pdf?rlkey=raq6t4ks9x3xm97iyq6btqkh5&e=1&st=0s7169qw&dl=0
Amazingly, Fake News and Roombas are predicted precisely. Both by Pratchett :D
In 1959, a cement mixer with a full load of cement, wrecked near Winganon, Oklahoma 🇺🇸
By the time a tow truck came to haul it away, all of cement had hardened inside of mixer. Tow truck was not able to remove all wreckage at same time because of weight, and decided to haul only cab/frame and would come back for detached mixer later, which never happened.
Today, 67 years later, it still sits where it fell. Locals have painted it and added "rocket thrusters" to make it look like a space capsule.
