The great thing about Tesla is they let you drive their car basically wherever you want during test drive. I was interested in the model X, so I took it to my garage and discovered it couldn’t properly open the wing doors due to pretty low ceiling and relatively narrow spots. So I passed. But that was a pretty basic consideration. Can’t blame Tesla here really.

This is because 99.99% of the population wouldn’t know what to do with such a device. Computers are consumer devices, they can’t be expected to meet demands for total user control without those users shooting themselves in the foot nonstop. This is the only logical way they can develop.

First of all $100,000 is significantly more than any Walgreens can reasonably produce. That is $70 per minute assuming 24hr/day operation. Most Walgreens have at most two registers open, and the average purchase, which takes more than a minute is probably lower than $30. Then they have operating expenses on top of that, and the margins are very slim, usually single digit. Remove $1000 per day and you might very well make it a loss.

Well Trump certainly used his position to enrich the Trump organization. But in a much more blatantly open manner. Putin is probably the single richest person on Earth, pretending to be one of the people and living off the official presidential salary of about 130000 USD.

I agree that the flow is not optimal, but for most users it will by definition only happen once in the lifetime of the device. Even if the can’t find the instructions from Google, they can still bring to Apple store for help. If you had to reset Apple devices to default as often as you have with Windows I’m sure they would make it more user friendly.

Secure enclave is more akin to the TPM. It stores some secrets even the OS can’t access, including your fingerprint/face biometric. QuickSync is a dedicated hardware on the SoC die, not part of the GPU, but even if it were, it is just semantics if it is still on the same die.
