How likely is it that they were trying to develop something for automating dispensing perceptions, and then couldn't implement it, so are trying to make any amount of money by selling to consumers? Because I can't think of a reason why this would be developed on purpose.

I can see it being developed on purpose. I know exactly the CEO brained sales guys who obsess with dumb gimmicks like this and the 'IP' related to them, way more than if the product provides function over traditional models.

The stupid robotic one at least makes some sense cuz you can set it up so your alzheimer's grandma only has to (and can only) press a single button to get exactly the pills to take each day, and it snitches on them to you if they don't. The actual design of it though is incredibly funny to me.

lol the article basically says that work is still getting done, because they'll do another hour of work from home, but it's bad for managers because it's difficult to schedule meetings. Who schedules meetings between 4 and 6? Go to hell.

Really fun how the pandemic exposed how worthless work is and that it's really just about control of people's lives.

I was told yesterday I now have a weekly meeting with my whole team on Friday afternoons at 1. I asked what the meeting was about and I was told "we're figuring it out"

You can't organize resistance or even cook yourself dinner if you're stuck in the car 2 hours a day every day on top of work.

The books don't even need to be removed. They can use them to club the kids over the head in these new and much needed discipline centers. Once again Capitalism proves itself to be the most efficient system to allocate and use resources.

Wait, did you actually get that at a restaurant? I'm pretty sure those are novelty versions of the printing your company's name on a pen and handing it out to clients. So like you'd have a bowl of those at your booth at the electronics expo, or adult entertainment convention.

Not sure which is funnier a restaurant saving a couple of cents by subsidizing their fortune cookies with ads, or buying discount unused novelty cookies.
