A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Standard business practice.

  • Get it out there, tout it as the new biggest thing. Most people won't know it's not busted.
  • Improve said item once the company behind it actually figures out what they're doing.
  • Say it's better, when it's basically the original thing you promised.
  • ????
  • Profit.

Only half joking as this is the actual strategy.
